If you are an EU citizen, no. If you are from elsewhere, then yes. But many of these companies have the possibility to get you a visa. The question is if you have very strong credentials, so that a canton (quotas are assigned by canton) gives up one of the allocated visas for you.

And if those companies really want someone there is always a way, regarding how they advocate not finding anyone in Switzerland able to fulfill the role. I remember a few quite creative reasons, as I lived there before the EU agreements.

  Do you also remember how there's no way to get a job without a Swiss Arbeitszeugnis? Then there's also the fact that the EU immigration has been clamped down on, as Switzerland chose to exercise the quota clause of the bilateral agreement.

    I surely do remember, as I was never able to upgrade my student Visa. However I also remember getting to know people whose application was kind of sponsored, which was what I was referring to. I am just speaking of companies willing to go the extra mile to prove that (in theory) no Swiss or foreigners with Permis B or D (not sure about the letters) were found.

      One would have to be exceptional with an extremely rare and recognised specialisation to get sponsored nowadays (even back then, it was the same deal). The Swiss don't want any immigration or immigrants, not even from the EU any more, let alone from anywhere else. They are taking measures to close Switzerland off. The population doubled in the last ten years and the infrastructure can barely cope with such rapid population growth, not to mention social security and skyrocketing medical insurance costs. Whoever made it into Switzerland, made it, but it's over. They are the servants of the secret fire. None shall pass. That is the way of the Swiss, and the Swiss keep it. The way is shut. None shall pass! The way is shut.
