Background

Leonly grew out of the work of The Zone Media GmbH, which ran recruiting campaigns for electrical and trade businesses in Central Switzerland. Three results are publicly documented: Maréchaux Elektro AG in Kriens with five hires in two months, Bonetti Elektro AG in Meggen with two hires, and Anderhub Metallbau in Inwil with one position filled in under a month.

Those were campaigns, not placements. There are no placements under the Leonly name yet. Leonly launches in 2026.

Common confusions

Leonly is not Leon & Partner. An earlier working name that was never used.
Leonly is not JobRecruiter. That was the working name in 2023 and 2024 before the rename.
Leonly is not The Zone Media. Same legal entity, different brand and different service. The Zone Media does marketing, Leonly places people.
