Recruiters or employees, have you ever been able to get a company to sponsor a work visa even though the company initially said they don't do visa sponsorships?

I was told by a recruiter for a role in πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­ that my experience lined up well with the job opening, but the company is not sponsoring visas. Any advice?

One Swiss manager told me that the biggest hesitancy for him to sponsor visa is that he invests time and effort for the process/prove why they couldn't hire within πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­, only to find that the candidate doesn't want to stay in the country (language barrier, doesn't like living there). Are there any other reasons for this hesitancy?

Aside from my leadership and managerial experience, it has been my dream to live in πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­ for years, and as for languages, I am conversational in πŸ‡«πŸ‡·πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ and learning the other 2 national languages as well as Swiss German all for fun. I understand non-EU candidates are pretty much out of luck to get hired, but it's so discouraging that the visa issue is getting my application immediately rejected, as I am a serious candidate who is serious about moving to πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­ to live and work πŸ˜«πŸ˜–

It depends. If you’re from US (assuming US citizenship) then Swiss company has to prove that they can’t find same talent - not only in CH but in EU. They have to go through the similar process of H1b - labor market test, visa application, scrutiny and then visa insurance. It takes like 3-5 months. Not all companies are willing to wait almost half a year.

Hello
I was hired by a SaaS company for 95,000 Fr as a Senior Full Stack Developer. I have 9 years of experience and I worked in multiple startups and technologies. I also have relatively better experience in NodeJS, React, SQL, Elasticsearch.
I wouldn't say I am great at solving coding challenges but I believe with some practice I can get better.
Do you think I can get a better salary with my situation? (Swiss Wage calculator estimates 8500+ Fr. per month for Zurich area).
