Hello, My name is
Moises Hernandez
TECHNICAL RECRUITER | AEROSPACE & MECHANICAL ENGINEER | PROJECT MANAGER PROFESSIONAL
I’m Moisés HERNANDEZ, founder of “Placement Professionnel” a recruiting agency specialized in Engineering roles.
Aerospace and Mechanical Engineer. Certified Project Manager (PMP). As a Project Manager, I am a firm believer that the success of projects and organizations depends on the talent of the team members.
People is the best asset of any company. It all starts in the recruiting process. Having experience in the “field” allows me to connect with candidates and assess their talent.
About Me
Born and raised in Spain, you’ll find me to be an open-minded engineer who loves to be surrounded by people from different backgrounds. While everyone has their peculiarities, there is always a lot to learn from the people around you with their unique perspectives. That couldn’t be more descriptive of my year studying in the US, where I lived with nine other roommates from five different countries. I have also lived one year in Scotland. In September 2021, I relocated to Switzerland. I decided to use my international network to found my own recruiting agency and bring international talent to Swiss companies.
