une dernière question ?
With Muzzo, you set the fee, between 5 and 30%, and you only pay it on hire: no deposit, no fixed fees. A simple reception role and filing sensitive documents don't require the same search. The fee follows this difficulty, and the Muzzo team helps you set it.
You have a double guarantee. If your new hire leaves within 3 months, for example because the real volume doesn't match the brief, we restart the search at no cost. Without a replacement found within 4 months, we refund 50% of the fees. On average, 94% of Muzzo hires are still in post after 3 months.

le constat
an administrative assistant is judged by what never goes lost
a good administrative assistant is already in post, not on job ads
Reception, schedules, mail, filing: they handle the daily administration of an entire service. A headhunter of this profession knows when and how to approach them.
organisation doesn't show on a CV
The role demands finding a file in seconds and never leaving mail without follow-up. The headhunter tests this rigour, not just software mastery.
a hiring mistake shows at the first crisis
A mis-noted appointment, a lost file, forgotten mail: the whole team pays the price. The headhunter checks the volume handled and filing method before introducing anyone.
les postes
the administrative assistant profiles our headhunters go after for you
From reception to filing documents, each search goes to a headhunter who has already hired this profile.
administrative assistant, multi-purpose
Il répond au téléphone, tient les agendas, traite le courrier et saisit les documents d'un service entier.
administrative assistant, reception and filing
Il reçoit le public ou les visiteurs et organise les dossiers papier et numériques d'un service ou d'une direction.
administrative assistant, public administration
Il traite les dossiers d'une collectivité ou d'un service public, avec des délais et des procédures encadrés par les textes.
back-office assistant
Il saisit et vérifie des dossiers pour un service qui ne reçoit pas de public, souvent en appui d'une équipe plus large.
la méthode
a headhunter for this profession, not an agency that does everything
The role is judged by what never goes lost. The method therefore starts from the real volume to handle.
we define the volume and tools to master
Number of calls, files, pieces of mail, document-management software: the brief describes the real work of the service, not just the title.

organisation checked before interview
The headhunter asks the profile to describe their filing method and file volumes handled, then cross-checks with references how deadlines were kept.

hiring an administrative assistant: what you need to know
why hire a headhunter to recruit an administrative assistant?
The administrative assistant handles reception, schedules, mail and filing for a service. It's a foundation role, judged by what never goes lost rather than a specific degree.
A headhunter of this profession knows how to assess this organisation: volume handled, filing method, deadlines met. This page covers reception and day-to-day administration; for a role centred on invoicing and basic accounting, see our business administration assistant page.
administrative assistant in a company or public body: what changes?
In a company, the role mainly follows a service's needs: mail, schedules, client or supplier files. In a local authority or public service, processes and deadlines are set by law, and the role demands more regulatory rigour.
This choice sets the profile to seek: private-sector experience or knowledge of public procedures. Stating it in the brief directly guides the headhunter's search.
is it hard to hire an administrative assistant in 2026?
According to France Travail's 2026 BMO survey, employers announced 26,750 recruitment projects for office secretaries and similar, a category covering the administrative assistant, with 29.8% of these projects judged difficult to fill.
10.1% of these projects are considered seasonal: a minority, which should not dictate the timeline of a search for a permanent role.
how do you assess an administrative assistant at interview?
The CV lists software: word processor, spreadsheet, electronic document-management tool. The interview must show something else: how the candidate organises their filing and prioritises when several requests arrive at once.
A short case study works well: a batch of files to sort and file in limited time. The headhunter does this first screen before introducing anyone.
