Up to CHF 2,000 recruitment bonus!
We value qualified professionals.
Recruiting costs every company money. Here at Züripets®, we have made a conscious decision to invest part of this budget directly in qualified new employees, rather than spending it exclusively on job boards, advertising, or recruitment agencies.
We don't have to—we want to. Because skilled workers are valuable. For us, the recruitment bonus is therefore not a lure, but an expression of appreciation and modern recruitment practices.
Are you a certified animal keeper (EFZ) or an animal care specialist (FBA) (m/f/d), able to start with us soon, and interested in joining Züripets® with an 80–100% workload?
Then, once you've successfully signed up, you can earn a welcome bonus of up to CHF 2,000!
Direct Application - Your Welcome Bonus
CHF 2,000 upon completion of the FBA or as a certified animal caretaker (EFZ)
CHF 1,000 upon completion of the FBA theory portion or if FBA training has already begun
"Shortly" means: You will start work within a maximum of 8 weeks after receiving a binding job offer, working 80–100% of full-time hours .
Do you know our next specialist?
Then your recommendation is worth it, too.
If a qualified FBA Animal Care Specialist or Animal Keeper EFZ (f/m/d) is successfully hired based on your recommendation and meets the requirements of the bonus program, the maximum recruitment bonus will be split:
CHF 1,000 for you
CHF 1,000 for the new team member
Total bonus: CHF 2,000.00
Here's How the Recommendation Works
It's simple: When applying for the first time through JOIN, the applicant enters their first and last name in the "Recommended by" field provided for that purpose.
The recommendation must be specified at the time of the initial application. It is not possible to assign a recommendation retroactively.
Referrals by spouses, registered partners, domestic partners, individuals living in the same household, and the applicant's parents or children are excluded from the referral bonus.
The person being recommended must not have applied to Züripets® at the time of the recommendation and must not be—or have been—in the midst of a current or previous application process with Züripets®.
Only one recommender may be considered per successful hire. The person listed in the initial application submitted through JOIN is the one that counts.
Terms and Conditions for Participation and Payouts
The Welcome Bonus is subject to the terms and conditions of the Züripets® Welcome Bonus Program.
The bonus promotion applies exclusively to new applicants who have not previously applied to Züripets®, provided that the first application is submitted on or after August 21, 2026 via JOIN at Züripets®. The date of receipt of the initial application is decisive. Individuals who have previously applied to Züripets® or who are currently in—or have been in—an ongoing or previous application process are excluded from the bonus promotion. A renewed or repeated application does not entitle the applicant to a bonus.
Eligibility alone does not entitle you to a bonus. A bonus is awarded only upon successful hiring and full fulfillment of all requirements of the Züripets® Welcome Bonus Program.
The bonus promotion applies exclusively to the advertised positions as FBA Animal Caregiver or Animal Keeper EFZ with a work schedule of 80–100%. Dog walkers, temporary staff, and other forms of employment are excluded from the bonus promotion.
Current employees are not eligible for a welcome bonus. However, they may be eligible for a referral bonus as a referrer, subject to the applicable terms and conditions.
The recruitment bonus can be claimed only once per person per hire. Multiple or repeat applications do not entitle the applicant to an additional or renewed bonus. The Welcome Bonus and the Referral Bonus cannot be combined. The maximum recruiting bonus per successful hire is CHF 2,000.
Payment After the Probationary Period
The Welcome Bonus or Referral Bonus will be paid after the successful completion of the the originally agreed trial period , provided that it has not been extended, the employment relationship remains in effect and has not been terminated at that time, and all requirements of the Züripets® Welcome Bonus Program have been met.
If the probationary period is extended, the due date for the bonus is postponed until the successful completion of the extended probationary period. If the employment relationship is terminated during the original or extended probationary period, there is no entitlement to payment of the welcome bonus or the associated referral bonus.
If the employment relationship is terminated during the probationary period—regardless of which party initiates the termination—the employee is not entitled to receive the Welcome Bonus or the associated referral bonus.
Payment will be made with the next regular pay period following successful completion of the probationary period. In the case of a referral, the Welcome Bonus for the new team member and the referral bonus for the referrer are generally paid at the same time.
The amount, eligibility, due date, and payment of bonuses are determined by the respective qualification as well as the applicable participation and payment terms of Züripets® GmbH. Bonus payments are not part of the contractually agreed base salary.
Participation in the Züripets® Welcome Bonus Program is voluntary and does not imply any further legal obligation. The granting of a bonus, whether once or repeatedly, does not create any entitlement to future bonus payments or to the continuation of the program.
Züripets® GmbH reserves the right to at any time with future effect, to temporarily suspend it, to terminate it early, or to extend the promotional period. For applications already received, the terms and conditions published at the time the application was received apply, in conjunction with the terms of the Züripets® Welcome Bonus Program that govern the granting of the respective bonus; these terms will be brought to the applicant’s attention no later than upon the conclusion of a bonus agreement. Changes to or the termination of the program do not have retroactive effect on bonus entitlements that have already been bindingly granted.
