Our story

Thirty years of international mobility.

For more than thirty years, HR Relocation has supported companies relocating their employees to Switzerland. Our partners have run relocation programmes for multinationals, international organisations and Geneva watchmakers.

In 2024, the company regained its independence and its name. It is led by Lucas Alves de Melo and Pierre Jéronimo, Managing Partners, with a clear goal: to become the Swiss reference for corporate immigration in complex cases.

Our roots are in Geneva. Our field is all of Switzerland, in French, English and German.

Our values

What we stand for.

Discretion.

Executive assignments, family situations, sensitive data: what happens at our clients stays with our clients.

Independence.

No ties to any letting agency, landlord or firm. Our only interest is our client's.

Rigour.

Every deadline tracked, every document checked. A refused permit is a lost hire.

People.

Behind every file is a family changing its life. We never forget that.
