they hire with muzzo
how do you hire a manager in the Landes through a recruitment agency?
Between Mont-de-Marsan, the agricultural capital, Dax and its spa industry, and the tourism coast from Hossegor to Capbreton, Muzzo hands every Landes role to the headhunters with the most placements in that field. You set the fee, from 5 to 30%, paid on hire.
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 deposit, no fixed fees. A permanent management role isn't hired like seasonal tourism reinforcement: the fee follows how hard the role is to fill.
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 fees. On average, 94% of Muzzo hires are still in post after 3 months.

the reality
in the Landes, the job market is the most seasonal in the batch
the most seasonal department in the batch
58.8% of Landes hiring plans are seasonal, driven by coastal tourism, spa culture and agriculture. Permanent management and administrative roles are hired against the grain of this rhythm.
a territory stretched between coast and interior
Hossegor, Seignosse and Capbreton live on tourism and surfing, Mont-de-Marsan and the interior on agriculture and industry. An agency that knows only the coast misses the other half of the department.
health roles in high demand around Dax's spa industry
Dax, France's top spa destination, drives a health and paramedical market under strain year-round, well beyond peak tourism season.
the roles
the profiles our headhunters find for you in the Landes
From Mont-de-Marsan to Dax and the coast, each role goes to a headhunter who knows that field.
executive and establishment leadership
CEO, spa or tourism establishment director. The headhunter approaches executives in post, in Mont-de-Marsan as much as on the coast.
finance and management
CFO, financial controller. Roles sought after by agricultural food SMEs and tourism groups in the department.
health and paramedical
Health manager, physiotherapist, nurse. Dax's spa culture and population ageing make these roles difficult to fill.
food industry and agriculture
Production manager, agricultural engineer. The corn sector and duck farming structure Landes agricultural economy.
tourism and hospitality
Accommodation director, spa establishment manager. The coast and Dax hire strongly on-season, and year-round for spa.
construction and industrial maintenance
Site manager, maintenance technician. Industrial zones around Dax and Tarnos seek these roles continuously.

hiring in the Landes: what you need to know
how do you choose a recruitment agency in the Landes?
The Landes pit a rural and administrative interior, around Mont-de-Marsan, against a tourism coast, from Hossegor to Capbreton, plus Dax and its spa economy. An agency focused on only one of these worlds rarely knows the other two.
Muzzo hands each Landes role to the headhunter, among over 2,500 selected, who gets the best results in that specific field, wherever the work site is in the department.
how much does a recruitment agency cost in the Landes?
In a highly seasonal department, an agency's fees vary sharply depending on whether it's a permanent management role or a seasonal boost. Some agencies ask for an upfront deposit regardless of outcome.
With Muzzo, the fee, from 5 to 30%, stays set by you based on the role's priority, and is due only on hire: no deposit, no fixed fees.
why is the Landes job market so seasonal?
According to France Travail, 58.8% of Landes hiring plans are seasonal in 2026, the highest share of the four departments in this batch. Coastal tourism, Dax's spa culture and agriculture drive most of this seasonality.
By contrast, permanent management, finance or health roles must be hired against this rhythm, often by reaching for profiles outside the department.
what does Dax's spa industry change for hiring?
Dax welcomes roughly 60,000 spa guests each year in its 16 establishments, including one thermal hospital, making it France's top spa destination, according to the City of Dax's official site.
This activity drives a health and paramedical market under strain year-round: physiotherapists, nurses and health managers are sought well beyond peak tourism season.
what are the main economic hubs in the Landes?
Mont-de-Marsan, the department's capital, remains the top municipality by jobs with 20,722 salaried positions at end of 2024, according to Insee, surrounded by agriculture structured by corn and duck farming.
Dax and Saint-Paul-lès-Dax concentrate spa culture and part of industry, while the coast, from Soorts-Hossegor to Capbreton through Seignosse and Mimizan, lives on tourism and surfing. The Gascony Landes forest, spanning parts of Landes, Gironde and Lot-et-Garonne, also feeds a historic timber sector.
how do our headhunters hire in the Landes?
The headhunter assigned to your role knows the relevant hub, whether Mont-de-Marsan, Dax or the coast, and the companies already hiring there in that field.
On average, 26 days suffice for a Muzzo hire, from brief to signature. If your new hire leaves before 3 months, the search restarts at once, at no cost.
your questions about hiring in the Landes
Yes: 46.7% of the 24,250 hiring plans forecast for 2026 are rated difficult by employers, according to France Travail.
Because 58.8% of Landes hiring plans are seasonal in 2026, the highest share of the four departments in this batch, according to France Travail: coastal tourism, spa culture and agriculture concentrate activity on a few months.
Because Dax welcomes roughly 60,000 spa guests each year in its 16 spa establishments, according to the City of Dax: a health and paramedical market active year-round, not just in peak tourism season.
Yes. The coast, from Hossegor to Capbreton, lives on tourism and surfing, with strong seasonality. Mont-de-Marsan and the interior rely on agriculture and industry. Our headhunters know the market specific to each of these two territories.
