Flexsis Mendrisio: A new team for a region that deserves presence, expertise, and human connection

• Blog

For years, Mendrisio could rely on support from the Flexsis agency in Lugano: it regularly organised Recruiting Days to meet candidates, connect with companies, and maintain a presence in the region. But this presence was itinerant, temporary, often dictated by market urgencies or specific company needs. A useful model, but insufficient for a region in constant transformation.

Today, things have changed for the Mendrisio labor market. Since March 1st, this border town finally has its own Flexsis agency: autonomous, stable, with a fully dedicated team deeply rooted in the local culture. A concrete response to a latent need: a fixed, accessible reference point capable of knowing the local business fabric in depth.

At its head is Francesca Zaverio, a young manager with solid experience in recruitment and operational management. Surrounding her is a multidisciplinary, cohesive team: two recruiters, Sara Bianchi and Ilaria Caronti, two administrative staff, Irene Brianda and Chiara Parravicini and regional director Alessandro Egitto, who chose Mendrisio as his reference point.

“We are no longer an occasional presence,” says Francesca Zaverio. “We are here every day, with the energy of people who want to build a great business. The region knows us, but it can now truly count on us.”

The new agency is not just a logistical matter: it represents a paradigm shift. It means listening to the region, responding quickly, and building trust day by day. It is also a strategic choice: Mendrisio, with its border position, has always been a crossroads of skills, opportunities, and international mobility.

A young team, motivated and rooted in the region

Yes, the Flexsis Mendrisio team is young, but it has years of experience in recruitment and staff placement. Francesca Zaverio, after a degree in sociology and early experience as a recruiter in Italy, arrived in the Ticino region in 2019 and progressed in HR until becoming branch manager. By her side, professionals with complementary skills and strong energy.

Sara Bianchi is the senior recruiter, confidently handling both temporary and permanent placements. Ilaria Caronti, young but already trained in Italy, stands out for her perseverance and commitment. Irene Brianda, specialised in the industrial sector, and Chiara Parravicini are administrative pillars. Alessandro Egitto, Ticino director, brings strategic vision and regional grounding.

It’s not just about skills: the team’s added value lies in strong ties to the region, the ability to understand local dynamics, and adaptability with situational intelligence.

The Mendrisio labour market: challenges, pressure, and desire to move forward

Opening a new agency in 2025 means doing so in a complex context. The labor market, especially in the industrial sector, has slowed down. Pressure to deliver results is high, and expectations even higher. But the Mendrisio team does not back down: “Flexsis has invested in us, and we feel responsible and motivated to build something lasting,” says Francesca Zaverio.

What slows the market is not only the economic situation but also the growing difficulty in finding qualified labor, new regulations on cross-border work, and competition from other players, often more visible but less rooted. The Mendrisio team has chosen to respond by exploring new sectors: construction, crafts, logistics. Competitive sectors, yes, but capable of quickly absorbing personnel. “The craftsman, if he needs staff, tells you right away: send me someone. It’s a lever we now use to meet demand.”

A strategy based on database, relationship, and word of mouth

At the heart of our recruitment strategy is the relationship. “Our candidates are not CVs, they are people. And even if we don’t have the right opportunity today, we want to know them. So when the opportunity arises, we are already ready.”

Flexsis Mendrisio works extensively on its database, regularly updated and enriched through digital channels, platforms, social networks and especially word of mouth. “Those who have worked with us recommend us. The name Flexsis circulates. And that’s the best marketing.”

Behind each contact is a method: in-depth interviews, skill verification, cross-checking references. A living network, nourished daily by new information and interactions.

Tailored services and 360-degree consulting

Temporary, Try & Hire, Permanent: Flexsis Mendrisio offers all key HR services. But what stands out is the depth of consulting. “Some clients call us just to know how to open a vacancy at the unemployment registry. Others ask for clarification on collective agreements. We are here for that too.”

In a highly competitive region, quality makes the difference. And quality means listening, continuous updating, and real support. Clients don’t come just to ‘receive a profile’ but to find a partner guiding them through every step of the process.

Candidates: listening, empowerment, and real support

The approach with candidates is thorough. During interviews, Francesca and her team listen, read between the lines, and even ask tough questions to understand a person’s true ambitions. “Our strength is authenticity. And candidates feel it.”

Each person is carefully prepared before the company interview: environment description, advice on attire, practical instructions about parking. “We want them to arrive calm and prepared. That’s how trust is built.”

And after the first assignment? The contact continues. Follow-up calls, checks, support on issues like salary, insurance, accidents. The employee is never left alone.

Human value that unites: competence and team spirit

At the heart of this new agency is the team. “We are a truly united team. When one struggles, the others are there. And in moments of pressure, knowing you can count on those around you makes all the difference.”

In a market where everything is measured in KPIs and revenue, Flexsis Mendrisio reminds that human capital is not an abstract concept. It’s relationships. It’s listening. It’s real presence. It’s mutual trust, responsibility, and a shared desire to do well.

A promise to the region

Mendrisio now has its own Flexsis agency. Real people, skilled, motivated. Stories and expertise intertwined. With a clear vision: to be more than a service provider. To be a partner, every day, for those seeking and offering work.

Because work is not just a contract. It’s an opportunity for growth. And Flexsis Mendrisio is here to make it a reality.
