one last question?
You set the fee for each role, between 5 and 30%, and you only pay it on hire. A junior inside sales rep and a works project manager who needs to land major sites don't call for the same search effort: the fee follows that difference.
You get a double guarantee. If your new hire leaves within 3 months, we restart the search at no cost. If no replacement is found within 4 months, we refund 50% of the fees. On average, 94% of Muzzo hires are still in post after 3 months.

the reality
a construction sales rep sells neither a catalogue nor a licence
the site decides the price, not the brochure
A works project manager or a builders' merchant technical sales rep needs to understand a quantity survey, a supply lead time and a site margin before quoting a price. The headhunter checks this technical level before the interview.
the decision chain runs through several trades
Architect, project owner's representative, site supervisor, merchant buyer: a good sales rep knows how to convince each of them, not just sign the purchase order.
the relationship plays out over several sites, not just one
A loyal construction or merchant client comes back site after site. The headhunter looks at how long accounts have been held, not just the last contract signed.
the roles
the sales profiles our headhunters go after for construction and building materials companies
From the building site to the merchant counter, each role goes to a headhunter who knows sales in construction.
works project manager
They quote and sell a site, from the tender response through to handover, often working directly with the site supervisor.
builders' merchant technical sales rep
They sell to tradespeople on site: craftsmen, general contractors, sometimes private individuals renovating. Their stock and lead times matter as much as their price.
inside sales rep and merchant account handler
They handle incoming requests from a branch or merchant outlet and turn quotes into orders. Batibig hired an inside sales rep with Muzzo.
construction sales engineer
They sell technical services or materials, insulation, structural work or HVAC, to project owners or general contractors.
property development sales rep
They sell new-build homes or premises to private buyers or investors, before or during construction.
the method
a headhunter who already sells in construction and building materials
Selling a construction project and selling over a merchant counter aren't the same job: the method starts from the type of sale.
the brief starts from the type of sale and the decision chain
Site, merchant trade or development: the brief sets out who decides, project owner, tradesperson or private buyer, and over what sales cycle.
a headhunter who specialises in construction sales
Among more than 2,500 selected headhunters, your role goes to those who sell the most in this construction and building materials field.
sites and merchant accounts checked
The headhunter looks at the sites sold and the merchant accounts held over time, not just the last contract signed.

why use a sales recruitment agency for construction?
A successful works project manager or builders' merchant technical sales rep isn't job hunting: they already hold a portfolio of sites or trade accounts.
A construction sales recruitment agency knows these profiles and knows what a book of sites or a merchant account is worth, rather than a simple job title.
works project manager, builders' merchant technical sales rep, property development sales rep: which profile should you hire?
read onThe works project manager quotes and sells a site, from the tender to handover. The builders' merchant technical sales rep sells materials to tradespeople on site, where stock and lead times matter as much as price.
The property development sales rep sells new-build homes or premises to private buyers or investors, a very different cycle and set of regulations from the first two profiles.
According to Urssaf, building construction and civil engineering had 320,739 private-sector employees combined at the end of June 2026, a volume of business that still needs sales reps to sell it, site after site.
