they hire with muzzo
how do you hire an engineer in Lannion through a recruitment agency?
Lannion is home to the Photonics Park, a cluster that exports more than half its revenue, and Muzzo hands every engineering role to the headhunters with the most placements in that field. You set the fee, from 5 to 30%, paid on hire; a departure within 3 months reopens 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 on hire. No deposit, no fixed fees. A photonics engineer to convince to leave a Photonics Park company doesn't hire like an already open role: 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 the fees. On average, 94% of Muzzo hires are still in post after 3 months.

the reality
in Lannion, photonics profiles are getting rare
photonics profiles are getting rare
Twenty companies compete for the same optical engineers and fiber-optic technicians. A headhunter who knows this pool avoids recruiting in direct competition with the neighbour.
good profiles don't answer job ads
A senior R&D engineer or industrial quality manager already has a role at one of the Photonics Park players. You need to call them directly, not post an ad and wait.
a market with strong export dimension
With 55% of the cluster's revenue realised in exports, Lannion companies also hire sales profiles able to sell internationally, a different skill from engineering.
the roles
the profiles our headhunters find for you in Lannion
Photonics, industry and export: each role goes to a headhunter who knows that field.
optical and photonics engineering
Optical engineer, fiber engineer, photonics researcher. The headhunter approaches these profiles already in post, never publishing the company name until the first conversation.
research and development
R&D project manager, design engineer, lab technician: roles close to the Foton Institute and Photonics Park companies.
production and industrial quality
Production manager, fiber-optics technician, quality engineer. Manufacturing fibers, sensors and lasers requires rare skills on the local market.
executive and site leadership
Site director, subsidiary CEO, technical director. Photonics Park groups and SMEs hire rarely, but for highly skilled profiles.
export sales
Export sales engineer, international key account manager. Lannion companies sell predominantly outside France.
finance and financial control
Industrial financial controller, administrative and finance manager for SMEs and large groups in the territory.

hiring in Lannion: what you need to know
how do you choose a recruitment agency in Lannion?
In Lannion, the right agency depends on the role: an optical engineer, a fiber-optics technician and an export sales manager aren't hired from the same network. A generalist agency often misses candidates already in post at one of the twenty Photonics Park players.
Muzzo flips the problem: instead of handing Lannion to a generalist agency, we route your role to whichever of our 2,500 selected headhunters gets the best results in that specific field, and you only have one contact to manage.
how much does a recruitment agency cost in Lannion?
An agency's fees depend on role seniority and billing model: flat fee, salary percentage, or a non-refundable deposit when starting the search. For a rare photonics engineer in Lannion, the bill adds up fast with flat-fee agencies.
With Muzzo, you set the fee yourself, between 5 and 30%, and you only pay on hire. No deposit, no fees if the search doesn't work out.
what is the Lannion Photonics Park?
Created in 2017, the Photonics Park brings together around twenty companies, large groups and SMEs, specialising in the manufacture of optical fibers, sensors and lasers. Together, they achieved 420 million euros in revenue in 2022, of which 55% in exports, with an average growth of 15% per year.
Lumibird and Ekinops, two companies based in Lannion, count among the recognised players in this cluster alongside Exail, according to Lannion-Trégor Community. For an employer, this means a pool of engineers and technicians already trained in the demands of this precision industry.
what role does the Foton Institute play in Lannion?
The Foton Institute, a joint lab of the CNRS, the University of Rennes and INSA Rennes, has a site in Lannion hosted by ENSSAT, at 6 Rue de Kerampont. It works on materials, sensors and photonic systems, in close liaison with Photonics Park companies.
For an employer, this closeness between public research and industry means a pool of young researchers and engineers already trained locally, but also much sought after before they even finish their studies.
which profiles are most sought after in Lannion?
In the France Travail Lannion employment area, 4,550 hiring plans are forecast for 2026, and 48.6% of these are rated difficult to fill by employers, with a high proportion of seasonal roles (60.9%) that also reflects agricultural and tourism activity in the territory, beyond photonics alone.
In Lannion itself, industry's share of employment rose to 14.1% in 2023, after a dip to 9.2% in 2017, while the share of managers is slightly down, from 29.0% in 2017 to 26.1% in 2023. A sign that industry is gaining weight again, on a market where skilled profiles remain rare.
how do our headhunters hire in Lannion?
In Lannion, the headhunter checks the real scope of a technical role first: technologies mastered, team size, export share of the role. Inflated job titles don't pass this filter.
The average time, 26 days from brief to signature, covers Lannion: all roles combined. A replacement guarantee applies if the new hire leaves within 3 months.
