I’m recruitment consultant specialising in the Avaloq market. My core regions are Switzerland, Liechtenstein, UK, Luxembourg, Monaco, and Germany. Although since it’s a small community, I have a global reach.
We keep our finger on the pulse of new implementations and hiring initiatives to give our candidates and clients the best service possible. We’re also one of the only recruiters involved in Avaloq community events.
My priorities are accuracy, detail, and professionalism. As a testament, I currently have over 45 LinkedIn recommendations from candidates I’ve placed.
Outside of work, I love going to the gym, modern classic cars (especially BMWs), and music (beginner DJ/intermediate drummer).

I’ve worked in recruitment since 2020, spanning two companies, always in a client-facing role.
In my first job, I worked in a start-up recruitment company, specialising in the niche of utility and land surveying in the UK. It’s a similarly small industry to Avaloq and I worked there for two years.
Joining Skillfinder in 2022, I’ve nurtured and built new partnerships with Avaloq clients. I’ve spoken to hundreds of Avaloq consultants and gained an understanding of the product, the challenges, and the differences in jobs.
Over the past 4 years, I’ve placed over 50 professionals, I’ve achieved 4 promotions up to Principal Consultant L2, and won the Top New Business Award twice for the most new business won in one year.
I am pleased to write a recommendation for Toby. Recently I got an offer from a well known organisation and they asked(recommended) me come through Toby from Skillfinder to offer the job. I was interacting with Toby during this process and he made everything so smooth and easy for me. He was very quick and efficient in solving problems. He was even responding out of office hours to get me onboarded asap. I am really happy with the way he supported me and I am also thankful for all the negotiations he did for me.

He made a complicated process easy, supporting me in all aspects of the relocation and leveraging his contacts to help me with things like taxes or housing in the new country. I’m very grateful for all his help during this journey and highly recommend him to anybody looking for the next step in their career.”
