the reality
in sport, passion isn’t enough to make the right hire
everyone applies, few match
A job ad in sport draws hundreds of enthusiasts. The right sales director or club manager is already in post. A headhunter familiar with the sector knows where they work and calls them directly.
a club, a gym, a brand: three different jobs
Running a club, running a gym network and selling sporting goods don’t call for the same strengths. At Muzzo, each role goes to the headhunter who knows that job.
the season doesn’t wait
A partnerships manager who arrives after the sponsors have signed means a lost season. Several headhunters can work in parallel, one per role.

From more than 2,500 selected headhunters, we keep those who make the most placements in your field.
you meet the right profiles
The headhunters approach and check every profile. You receive fewer CVs, but ones that match.
you only pay if you hire
Nothing to pay upfront. No fixed fees, no deposit.
hiring with a sport recruitment agency
why use a sport recruitment agency
A job ad in sport attracts plenty of enthusiasts, but few people who have already held the role. The club director who balanced a budget, the gym manager who grew a site, the partnerships manager who signed sponsors: they are already in post.
A sport recruitment agency approaches them directly, with a precise project, then only introduces people with results to show. A passion for sport is a plus; experience in the job remains the criterion.
clubs, gyms, federations, brands: four worlds
A professional or amateur club hires general managers, sales managers and ticketing managers. A gym network looks for club managers and regional directors who can deliver revenue targets and manage a team of coaches.
Federations and event organisers look for project managers and partnerships managers. Sporting goods brands hire product managers, marketing managers and key account salespeople. Each world has its own headhunters.
sports coaches: the obligations to check
In France, coaching a physical activity for pay requires a recognised diploma, title or qualification certificate, under article L212-1 of the Sports Code. Coaches must also hold a professional card, issued after a background check and renewed every 5 years.
For a coach, a strength and conditioning coach or a technical manager, our headhunters check these points from the first call. They also look at specialities: strength training, team sports, outdoor activities.
collective agreement and pay in sport
Most French clubs, associations and sport companies apply the national collective agreement for sport, with its job grades and specific rules for professional athletes and coaches. Fitness clubs may fall under other agreements.
Pay often combines a fixed salary and a variable part linked to memberships, ticketing or partnerships. Our headhunters know these practices and help you build an offer that wins over the best people.
how our headhunters find people in sport
Your role goes to the headhunters who have already recruited for that job, chosen from more than 2,500 selected headhunters. We have tracked them since November 2020 on three criteria: how many hires they make, the quality of their profiles, their speed.
They know the clubs, gym networks, brands and event organisers. They approach people in post, check their results and introduce few profiles, but the right ones.
cost, timing and guarantee for a hire in sport
You set the fee for each role, between 5 and 30%, and you only pay it when you hire. Launching is free, with no exclusivity. A Muzzo hire takes 26 days on average: launch the mission before the season starts.
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 new hires are still in the role after 3 months.
