how do you hire a manager in Corsica?
In Corsica, tourism and its seasonality weigh on hiring, even for managers. Muzzo hands your role to the headhunter who knows the island and searches the mainland if the pool falls short. The fee, from 5 to 30%, is set by you, due on hire. If your new hire leaves within 3 months, we restart 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 once you hire. No retainer, no fixed fees. Convincing a manager to move from the mainland often costs more than hiring in Dijon or Orléans: the fee follows how hard the role is to fill, and the Muzzo team helps you set it.
You have a double guarantee. If your new hire leaves within 3 months, for instance after a move that does not work out, 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 Corsica, the island changes the rules of hiring
one of the smallest talent pools in France
17,514 managerial jobs on the island, 12.1% of total employment, according to Insee. For a specialist role, the right profile is sometimes simply not there.
an economy that runs on tourism's rhythm
64.3% of the region's hiring plans are rated seasonal by employers, the highest rate in France, according to France Travail. Permanent executive roles get hired against that current.
bringing in a manager from the mainland
When the local pool is not enough, you need to convince someone to move to an island. At Muzzo, the headhunter who knows Corsica knows how to make that case from the first call.
the roles
the profiles our headhunters find for you in Corsica
From Ajaccio to Bastia, each managerial role goes to a headhunter who knows the island and its economy.
hotel or resort director
A role exposed to the island's very strong seasonality: running an activity that plays out over a few summer months.
real estate and development manager
The island's property market is tight. Developers and managers look for profiles who know the local rules.
site supervisor and construction manager
Housing, tourist infrastructure, roads: the island builds a lot, with fewer companies than elsewhere to take it on.
sales director and key account manager
For the island's food processing, wine and tourism sectors, often geared towards the mainland and export.
CFO
A key role for island SMEs, which have to factor in the extra cost of sea and air freight.
site director or CEO
The key role at an island business. We look for someone who has already run a comparable operation, on the island or elsewhere.

hiring in Corsica: what you need to know
how do you choose a recruitment agency in Corsica?
Hiring on an island changes the game: fewer agencies based locally, a small talent pool, and often the need to bring someone over from the mainland. The right agency knows your sector, whether tourism, real estate or food processing, and knows how to convince an outside profile to settle in Corsica.
That is how Muzzo works. We give your role to the headhunters with the best results in that field, chosen from more than 2,500 selected headhunters, in Corsica as on the mainland.
how much does tourism weigh on Corsica's economy?
In the second quarter of 2026, Corsica recorded 2.3 million passengers, a five-year record, driven by a strong early season, according to Insee. Regional salaried employment reached 129,300 jobs at the end of June 2026, with hospitality and catering employment up 1.2% year on year.
This tourism momentum drives the island's economy, but it is concentrated over a few months. For an employer hiring a permanent manager outside roles directly tied to tourism, that means a job market with a different rhythm from the rest of the year.
how much does a recruitment agency cost in Corsica?
Agencies most often charge a percentage of the new hire's gross annual salary, sometimes with a retainer on signature and a balance on presentation of profiles. If the search fails, that first part stays due.
With Muzzo, you set the fee yourself, between 5 and 30%, depending on how pressing the role is. Nothing is due before the hire: no retainer, no fixed fees. Getting started is free and non-exclusive.
which roles are hard to fill in Corsica?
According to France Travail's BMO 2026 survey, 49.7% of the island's 23,130 hiring plans are rated difficult by employers, and 64.3% are seasonal: the highest seasonality rate of any French region.
Hotel and catering owners and managers account for 140 hiring plans, 85.7% of them seasonal. Accounting and finance managers, on the other hand, are few in number but very hard to fill: 66.7% of plans rated difficult out of only 30 roles recorded.
how do you hire by department in Corsica?
Corse-du-Sud, around Ajaccio, has 71,649 jobs, 12.2% of them managerial and higher intellectual professions. Haute-Corse, around Bastia, has 73,622, with 11.9% managers, according to Insee: the two departments carry almost the same economic weight, with a comparable talent pool.
Ajaccio remains geared towards regional administration and services, while Bastia keeps a stronger link to the mainland through its port and airport. A leadership role hired in Bastia does not necessarily target the same profiles as an equivalent role in Ajaccio.
why use a headhunter in Corsica?
Because the local pool is small, and a headhunter who only knows the mainland will not know how to assess the island's constraints or convince someone to move there. A headhunter who knows Corsica knows how to present the lifestyle alongside the role, and check that an outside profile is ready to stay.
With Muzzo, your role goes to the headhunters with the most hires in that field, chosen from more than 2,500 selected headhunters. A hire is signed in 26 days on average, and you only pay when you hire.
your questions about hiring in Corsica
Yes, more so than elsewhere in France. According to France Travail's BMO 2026 survey, 49.7% of the island's 23,130 hiring plans are rated difficult by employers, and 64.3% are seasonal, the highest rate of any French region.
No. Apec does not publish a separate executive study for the island: it is grouped with the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, which counted 18,100 executive hires in 2025 and expects 18,800 in 2026. Our headhunters still track the Corsican market role by role.
Not quite. Corse-du-Sud and Haute-Corse carry comparable economic weight, but Bastia keeps a more direct link to the mainland through its port and airport, while Ajaccio concentrates more regional administration. Our headhunters know both markets.
Often, yes, for the most specialised roles: with only 17,514 managerial jobs across the whole island, according to Insee, the local pool runs out fast. Our headhunters search both in Corsica and on the mainland.
By presenting the whole offer straight away: the project, the team, the salary, and the real constraints of island life, housing included. The headhunter carries that message from the first call and answers questions before the interview rather than after a refusal.
