“I hear regarding the native light preference, what is it?”
Answer: The “indigenous light preference” is a measure implemented on July 1, 2018. It obliges employers in Switzerland to announce vacant positions to the ORP (Regional Placement Office). This obligation concerns employers as well as placement agencies or headhunters, and this in sectors of activity in tension, with more than 5% unemployment.
The sectors concerned are watchmaking, construction, sales, catering and hotels, for example. Employers are then required not to communicate their announcements elsewhere before 5 working days.
Cross-border workers can, in the same way as natives, register with ORPs. The Seco (Secretariat of State for the Economy) confirmed in a letter to the Groupement that the cross-border worker would appear, as soon as he registered with the ORP, in the files of job seekers, and his profile would be accessible to companies without distinction of place of residence.
Please note that the procedure for registering with an ORP is complementary to registering with Pôle emploi in France. Compensation for unemployed cross-border workers is paid for by France only.
