Document background
The Interview Confidentiality Agreement is essential for protecting proprietary information during recruitment processes under Swiss law. It should be implemented before conducting interviews where sensitive business information, strategic plans, technical details, or confidential operational data may be discussed. The agreement ensures compliance with Swiss federal data protection laws and the Code of Obligations, while providing clear guidelines for handling confidential information. This document is particularly crucial for senior positions, technical roles, or situations where candidates may gain insight into proprietary processes or strategic initiatives. Standard practice involves having candidates sign the agreement before detailed interviews or facility tours, especially in industries handling sensitive intellectual property or regulated data.
