You get a double guarantee. If the hire leaves within 3 months, we restart the search at no cost. If we can't find a replacement within 4 months, we refund 50% of the fee. On average, 94% of hires are still in the role after 3 months.

technical roles, generalist recruiters
Software engineer, R&D project manager, data scientist: these are specialist jobs. At Muzzo, each role goes to the headhunter who has already recruited for that job.

recruitment agency in Villeurbanne: what you need to know
how do you choose a recruitment agency in Villeurbanne?
In Villeurbanne, most recruitment agencies are based across the boulevard, in Lyon. That's not a problem: for the people you want to hire, Villeurbanne and Lyon are one job market. What matters is that the agency knows your field.
Ask which roles it has already filled in your area of expertise, and how it gets paid. An agency that recruits accountants won't necessarily find your embedded software engineer or your data engineer.

the job market in Villeurbanne: La Doua, Carré de Soie, Gratte-Ciel
Villeurbanne has its own engine: the LyonTech-la Doua campus, in the north of the city. It brings together INSA Lyon, Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University and the CPE Lyon engineering school, with their labs. Tech companies set up nearby to work with them and hire their graduates.
To the east, Carré de Soie, which straddles Vaulx-en-Velin, hosts offices and company headquarters. The centre, around the Gratte-Ciel, is home to shops and services. The result: strong demand for engineers, developers and data specialists, who are also courted by the whole Lyon area.
hard-to-fill roles in Villeurbanne
The roles that take the most effort in Villeurbanne are technical: R&D engineers, embedded software developers, data engineers, project managers who turn a lab result into a product, chemistry and materials engineers.
Fresh graduates from La Doua find jobs quickly. What's missing is people with five to fifteen years of experience: they have a job, they're well paid and they don't read job ads. To win them over, you have to approach them directly, with a clear project.
how much does a recruitment agency in Villeurbanne cost?
A recruitment agency in Villeurbanne usually charges a percentage of the hire's gross annual salary. The rate depends on the seniority of the role and how specialised the agency is: headhunting a CTO costs more than filling a mid-level developer role.
Look at how you pay, too. Some agencies ask for a retainer when you sign, then another payment when they present profiles. If the search fails, that money is gone.
With Muzzo, you set the fee, between 5 and 30%, and you only pay it on hire. No retainer, no fixed fees.

the types of recruitment agencies around Villeurbanne
Generalists cover every job. Specialists focus on one field: around Villeurbanne, that's often tech, engineering and manufacturing. Executive search firms headhunt leaders for the region's groups.
Muzzo combines specialisation and speed: each role goes to a headhunter who is an expert in that job, and several headhunters can work on the same role at the same time. You keep a single point of contact, the Muzzo team, however many headhunters are on the job.

why use a headhunter in Villeurbanne?
Because you're competing with the whole Lyon area. The developer you want also gets offers from Lyon, Grenoble and remote-first companies. A headhunter who knows their field knows what to tell them and when to call.
With Muzzo, your role goes to the headhunters who have made the most placements for that job, from more than 2,500 selected headhunters. A hire is signed in 26 days on average, and you only pay on hire.

your questions about hiring in Villeurbanne
On average, a Muzzo hire is signed in 26 days, from brief to signature, across all roles. The timeline depends mostly on the role, its seniority and the salary on offer. The Muzzo team gives you an estimate in the first conversation.
An agency hands your role to its own consultants, whatever the job. Muzzo hands it to the headhunters with the best track record in your field, chosen from more than 2,500 selected headhunters. You keep a single point of contact: the Muzzo team.
Spell out the stack, the level you expect, the salary and how much remote work you allow. Then hand the search to a headhunter who recruits developers all year round: they know who is in a job and open to an offer. With Muzzo, you only pay on hire.
A recruitment agency finds the right person for a role: it looks for profiles, approaches them, checks their background and presents the best ones. Muzzo hands each role to a headhunter who specialises in that job.
Yes. Villeurbanne and Lyon are one job market. Our headhunters recruit across the whole metropolitan area and beyond, depending on the job and where it is.
