Register and take advantage of the digital services offered by work.swiss!
User registration
In order to gain full access to all the digital services available on the work.swiss portal, you first need to register as a user on Job-Room (via Login).
To make access to the e-services of the unemployment insurance scheme (ALV) even more secure, registration is now done via the ALV’s Identity Access Management system (IAM ALV).
For employers and private employment agencies, the switch to registration via IAM ALV took effect on 20 March 2023, and for jobseekers on 18 July 2024.
In order to be able to carry out a reliable and secure identity check and to allow a person to be uniquely identified, the AHV number must be entered when registering via IAM ALV. The use of accounts that cannot be uniquely identified must be refused for security reasons. Reporting jobs under the job registration requirement does not require registration and can be done directly on Job-Room.
What the switch to registration via IAM ALV means for the various user groups and details of what they need to do to be able to continue to use the digital services of the work.swiss portal without any interruption can be found below.
Jobseekers
Registration via IAM ALV for jobseekers was introduced on 18 July 2024. If you were already a registered user of Job-Room before, you don’t need to do anything else.
Since 18 July 2024, registrations for Job-Room have been exclusively done via IAM ALV. You’ll find instructions on what to do below.

Employers and private employment agencies
By registering via IAM ALV, companies can issue their staff directly with access permissions for Job-Room. The roles available for this in IAM ALV are ‘main administrator’ (this needs to be confirmed by the company by means of a special authorisation), ‘administrator’ and ‘user’. Each company needs at least one main administrator who will issue the necessary permissions or roles to further members of staff as necessary.
When they register via IAM ALV (see instructions below) companies will be issued with a one-time password and sent an authorisation. Companies will be asked to complete the authorisation and upload it to IAM ALV. Checking the authorisation and assigning the role of ‘main administrator’ will take a few days.
