one last question?
You set the fee for each role, between 5 and 30%, and you only pay it on hire. A junior road transport sales rep and a key account manager who needs to grow major shipper accounts don't call for the same search effort.
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 transport sales rep doesn't sell a product or a subscription
the price is negotiated trip by trip, pallet by pallet
A road transport sales rep or a 3PL business developer negotiates a rate per trip, per pallet or per cubic metre, not a fixed package. The headhunter checks for this type of negotiation before the interview.
a shipper is judged on contract length, not the first quote
A shipper account that stays for three years is worth more than a one-off big volume. The headhunter looks at how loyal the accounts held are, not just the revenue signed on the first order.
selling freight and selling warehousing aren't hired the same way
A road transport sales rep knows fuel prices and fleet capacity. A 3PL business developer discusses square metres, warehouse management systems and service levels.
the roles

the method
a headhunter who already sells transport and logistics
Selling freight and selling warehousing don't attract the same headhunter: the method starts from the type of service sold.
the brief starts from the type of service and the target client
Road freight, warehousing, freight brokerage: the type of service and the size of the shipper matter more than the job title.

shipper accounts checked, not promised volumes
