one last question?
With Muzzo, you set the fee, between 5 and 30%, and you only pay it on hire: no deposit, no fixed fees. A roofer starting out on site and a roofing and cladding team lead don't take the same search. The fee follows that 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 jobs offered don't match the brief, we restart the search at no cost. If we find no replacement within 4 months, we refund 50% of the fees. On average, 94% of Muzzo hires are still in post after 3 months.

A hire signed in under 26 days. You only pay when you hire.
the reality
a roofer is judged by the roof that still doesn't leak ten years on
a good roofer doesn't answer job ads
They're tied up on sites, sometimes at height all week. A construction headhunter knows where to find them and how to approach them without disrupting their schedule.
the craft matters more than the materials listed on a CV
Laying tiles, slate, soldering zinc, waterproofing: a CV doesn't show whether the work is clean. The headhunter checks real sites, not a list of materials.
a hiring mistake shows up with the first rain
A badly laid roof leaks, gets redone at your expense and damages your reputation. The headhunter checks the sites delivered and compliance with working-at-height safety rules before introducing anyone.
the roles
the roofing and cladding profiles our headhunters go after for you
From a first site to a team lead role, each search goes to a headhunter who has already hired that profile.
roofer
They lay and maintain roofs, tiles, slate or zinc, and handle waterproofing. The most requested profile, in both new builds and renovation.
traditional roofer
Specialised in tile and slate, often on heritage buildings or complex roofs to restore.
cladder
They work with zinc and aluminium: gutters, valleys, flashings and waterproofing at tricky roof junctions.
rope-access roofer
They work on hard-to-access roofs, with working-at-height or rope-access qualifications.
roofing and cladding team lead
They run a team on site, allocate tasks and report to the site manager.
the method
a construction headhunter, not an agency that does everything
Roofing leaves no room for approximation. So the method starts from sites that were actually delivered.
we define the craft the role requires
Tiles, slate, zinc, waterproofing, height: the brief describes the materials and the sites involved, not just the job title.
a headhunter who places roofers
From more than 2,500 selected headhunters, your role goes to those who place the most people in roofing and cladding.
sites checked before the interview
The headhunter asks the profile to describe a difficult job they handled: the install, the safety, the result. Then they cross-check with references.

hiring a roofer: what you need to know
why use a headhunter to hire a roofer?
A roofer works at height, often in bad weather, on jobs that can't be redone twice. Good profiles are in post, tied up by current sites, and don't answer job ads.
A construction headhunter knows how to approach them and ask the right questions: which materials, what height, which qualifications. They check sites that were actually delivered, not a list of tools mentioned on a CV.
traditional roofer, cladder or all-round roofer: which profile should you hire?
A traditional roofer focuses on tile and slate, sometimes on heritage buildings to restore. A cladder works with zinc and aluminium: gutters, valleys, flashings. An all-round roofer masters both and switches between them depending on the job.
This choice depends on your activity: new build, renovation or heritage work. State it in the brief before talking about the profile, not the other way round.
how do you assess a roofer at interview?
The CV lists materials and sites. The interview has to show something else: the quality of the work, compliance with working-at-height safety rules, and the ability to handle the unexpected on a roof.
Asking for photos of recent jobs and up-to-date qualifications (working at height, harness use, sometimes rope access) makes a useful first filter. The headhunter does this work before introducing anyone, and checks the jobs mentioned with references.
self-employed tradesperson or construction company: where should you hire a roofer?
A large share of roofers work in small, independent firms, sometimes self-employed. Getting them to join a larger company means making the case on equipment, safety and steady work, not just pay.
In a larger construction company, the role sits within a team run by a team lead or a site manager. The brief should set out this framework from the start.
is roofing really a seasonal job?
Less than you'd think. According to France Travail's 2026 BMO survey, only 4.4% of roofer hiring plans are seen as seasonal: most roles remain permanent, even if roofing work slows down in severe cold or heavy rain.
What is true, however, is how hard to fill the job is: 79.6% of the 9,070 roofer hiring plans are seen as hard to fill in 2026, one of the highest rates in construction. A headhunter who already knows this talent pool saves time.
your questions about hiring a roofer
Yes. According to France Travail's 2026 BMO survey, 79.6% of the 9,070 roofer hiring plans are seen as hard to fill, one of the highest rates in construction. Going through headhunters who already know this talent pool cuts that time down.
According to Urssaf, specialised construction work, which groups roofing and cladding with other finishing trades, counted 1,263,363 private-sector employees at end of June 2026. It's a large talent pool, but shared with other trades.
The roofer lays and repairs roofs, by hand, on site. The site manager organises and runs several sites, without necessarily climbing onto a roof. For that second profile, see our site manager page.
