how do you hire a manager in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté?
Bourgogne-Franche-Comté hires around specific industries: winemaking, precision engineering, automotive, food processing. Muzzo hands your role to the headhunter who knows that job, wherever they're based in the region. The fee, from 5 to 30%, stays set by you and is only due when you hire. If your new hire leaves within 3 months, we restart the search at no cost.

one last question?
With Muzzo, you set the fee for each role, between 5 and 30%, and you only pay it once you hire. No retainer, no fixed fees. An engineer in Besançon is not hired like a site director in Dijon: the fee follows how hard the role is to fill, and the Muzzo team helps you set it.
You have a double guarantee. If your new hire leaves within 3 months, we restart the search at no cost. If we don't find a replacement within 4 months, we refund 50% of the fees. On average, 94% of Muzzo hires are still in post after 3 months.

the reality
in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, the talent pool fits in two or three cities
eight departments, three hubs that matter
Dijon, Besançon and Belfort-Montbéliard concentrate most of the executive roles. Between them, distances are measured in hours on the road, not neighbourhoods: a headhunter needs to know which hub they are searching in.
highly specialised industries
Winemaking around Beaune, precision engineering in Besançon, automotive in Sochaux: these jobs are not hired like a Paris head office role. At Muzzo, each role goes to the headhunter who knows that industry.
a local pool that runs dry fast
For a specialist role, the few available profiles on the ground are often already approached by other employers. Our headhunters also search in Lyon, Strasbourg or Paris when the role requires it.
the roles
the profiles our headhunters find for you in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté
From the vineyards of Côte-d'Or to the precision engineering workshops of Besançon, each role goes to a headhunter who knows that job.
site or plant director
The key role on an automotive, food processing or precision engineering site. We look for someone who has already run a comparable site.
quality and regulatory affairs manager
Food processing, pharma, winemaking: industries that demand real mastery of standards and client audits.
R&D and methods engineer
Precision engineering, automotive, nuclear: the region's design offices compete for the same engineering profiles.
export sales and key account manager
To sell wine, food products or industrial parts in France and abroad.
supply chain and logistics manager
The region sits on the Paris-Lyon corridor. Manufacturers look for managers able to run flows across several sites.
CFO and management controller
The region's SMEs and mid-sized firms look for finance profiles able to steer margins, often ahead of a handover.
the method
one headhunter per role, not one firm for everything
We have tracked every headhunter since November 2020, on three criteria: how many hires they make, the quality of their profiles, their speed.
you describe the role
You fill in the form, then we talk it through: the job, the workplace in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, the salary. You set the fee, between 5 and 30%.
we choose the headhunters
From more than 2,500 selected headhunters, we keep those with the most hires in your field.
you meet the right profiles
The headhunters approach and check every profile. You receive a handful of CVs, all of them relevant.

hiring in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté: what you need to know
how do you choose a recruitment agency in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté?
The region stretches from the Yonne to the Territoire de Belfort, with no dominant metropolis: an agency that knows Dijon does not necessarily know Besançon or Belfort-Montbéliard. The right choice comes down to three criteria: real knowledge of your field, verifiable results on comparable roles, and the ability to search beyond the local hub when needed.
That is how Muzzo works. We give your role to the headhunters with the best results in that field, chosen from more than 2,500 selected headhunters, wherever they are in France.
which industries are hiring in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté?
Burgundy's wine industry generates 45,200 jobs, 7% of total employment in the region, across 3,489 wine estates and 316 merchant houses, according to the Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne (BIVB, September 2024). Around Beaune and Dijon, it hires export salespeople, oenologists and estate managers.
Around Besançon, the precision engineering industry brings together 406 companies and 12,000 jobs in watchmaking, biomedical devices, telehealth and aerospace, according to Grand Besançon Développement. In Sochaux, the Stellantis car plant employs 5,400 permanent staff and 1,050 temps, 35% of them in vehicle development, according to a management count published in April 2026.
Around Dijon, food processing and healthcare remain major drivers of regional employment, alongside a nuclear hub based in Chalon-sur-Saône: see our dedicated page for the detail of those figures.
how much does a recruitment agency cost in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté?
Agencies most often charge a percentage of the new hire's gross annual salary, sometimes with a retainer on signature and a balance on presentation of profiles. If the search fails, that first part stays due.
With Muzzo, you set the fee yourself, between 5 and 30%, depending on how pressing the role is. Nothing is due before the hire: no retainer, no fixed fees. Getting started is free and non-exclusive.
which roles are hard to fill in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté?
According to France Travail's BMO 2026 survey, 47.5% of the region's 85,690 hiring plans are rated difficult by employers. IT study and development technicians top the list of study roles, with 240 plans and 58.3% rated difficult.
Accounting and finance managers (150 plans, 33.3% difficult) and sales and purchasing executives (160 plans, 31.3% difficult) are also in demand. These profiles are often already working for a regional manufacturer, or based in Lyon, Strasbourg or Paris.
how do you hire by department in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté?
Côte-d'Or, around Dijon, has 241,720 jobs, 18.2% of them managerial and higher intellectual professions. Doubs, around Besançon, has 217,699, with 15.8% managers, according to Insee. Two hubs of similar weight, but around an hour and a half apart by road, with different industries: food processing and nuclear on one side, precision engineering and watchmaking on the other.
To the north, the Territoire de Belfort and the Belfort-Montbéliard urban area carry weight through the Stellantis plant in Sochaux. To the west, the Yonne and the Nièvre remain more rural, with fewer executive roles but more direct access to Île-de-France. A leadership role in Belfort does not draw on the same talent pool as one in Dijon.
why use a headhunter in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté?
Because the right profile is often already in a job, in the region or in Lyon, Strasbourg and Paris. A headhunter who knows your field knows where to find them, how to check their background and how to pitch a project that makes them want to come to, or stay in, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
With Muzzo, your role goes to the headhunters with the most hires in that field, chosen from more than 2,500 selected headhunters. A hire is signed in 26 days on average, and you only pay when you hire.
your questions about hiring in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté
Yes, to a large extent. According to France Travail's BMO 2026 survey, 47.5% of the region's 85,690 hiring plans are rated difficult by employers, a level close to 2025.
According to France Travail's BMO 2026 survey, IT study and development technicians are among the hardest roles to fill, with 58.3% of plans rated difficult. Apec forecasts a stable level of executive hiring in 2026, 37% of it in industry.
No. Doubs and Côte-d'Or carry comparable weight in jobs, but across different industries: precision engineering and watchmaking around Besançon, food processing and nuclear around Dijon. Our headhunters know the market specific to each hub.
Often, yes, for the most specialised roles. With 81,430 private-sector managers according to Apec, the region remains a small market next to Lyon or Paris. Our headhunters search across all of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté and beyond when the role requires it.
By presenting the whole offer straight away: the project, the team, the salary, the exact workplace. The headhunter carries that message from the first call and answers questions about the region before the interview rather than after a refusal.
