About MITC

What does MITC propose? The first objective of MITC is the placement of personnel in Information Technology.

The customer contacts MITC for a request of external personnel and MITC presents resumes that the customer selects. It is a traditional step where a great number of data-processing service agencies already offer this service.

The activities of MITC evolved out of the following findings: the customers receive spontaneous resumes from people with whom they would like to work as external consultant. It is then a question of asking a company to recruit the selected consultant. In this context MITC thus becomes a supplier of the customer and employer of the consultant. It does not own the mandate.

In order that this process can be applied, it is essential that the customer engages and creates a master contract with MITC to which he will ask to hire the consultant at the appropriate time. As the workload of MITC is not dependent on the rate of the consultant, a monthly contractual commission is defined in the master contract between the customer and the employer.

The billing rate is negotiated directly between the customer and the consultant. MITC need only distribute the invoiced fees of the gross salary and the mandatory employer costs. The expenses of the consultants training are taken into account in this fee distribution.

The consultant has a real employment contract with MITC with all the usual mandatory deductions as Old-age and Survivors Insurance (1st pillar), unemployment insurance, insurance for occupational and non occupational accidents, insurance for loss of profit in the event of disease and compulsory occupational welfare provision (2nd pillar).

This type of consultant management requires an absolute confidence between the customer, the consultant and MITC in a context of cost control and flexibility. The complete cost of the consultant is thus the "right price" paid by the customer.

MITC always discusses with the consultant on the subject of his employability. He is advised to foresee a training budget so that once his mission is finished he can quickly find another mission.

This is quite a different approach from the classical payroll services, in principle it is when MITC is contacted by consultants who find themselves on a missions in Switzerland or abroad. They are on the look out for a Swiss employer or Umbrella company because they want to keep their employee status of a company in Switzerland if the mission is abroad. MITC quickly contacts the customer abroad in order to draw up the contract of the consultant mission who becomes employed by MITC. Once more, confidence must be without fault between the actors.
