they hire with muzzo
how do you hire a manager in the Pyrénées-Orientales through a recruitment agency?
Between Perpignan and the Saint-Charles International platform, Europe's leading fresh fruit and vegetable marketing hub, Muzzo hands every role in the Pyrénées-Orientales 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 once you hire. No retainer, no fixed fees. A healthcare or management role isn't hired like an administrative 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
a department turned toward Spain, both agricultural and logistics-focused
the Saint-Charles International platform captures part of the department's hiring
Europe's leading fresh fruit and vegetable marketing hub, the Perpignan platform employs hundreds of import-export, transport and logistics companies. A generalist agency rarely knows these specific roles.
the share of managers is one of the lowest in the region
In the Pyrénées-Orientales, only one job in eight is held by a manager or senior professional. Skilled profiles are scarce, often already in post, and rarely available on the open market.
healthcare roles struggle to recruit
According to France Travail, more than eight in ten nursing recruitment plans are rated difficult in 2026, and more than nine in ten for doctors. An agency that doesn't work this pool specifically loses precious time.

hiring in the Pyrénées-Orientales: what you need to know
how do you choose a recruitment agency in the Pyrénées-Orientales?
The department mixes export agriculture, a logistics economy around Perpignan and a network of small businesses: an agency that places a sales role well isn't necessarily the right one for a logistics or healthcare role.
Rather than one agency for the whole department, Muzzo hands each role in the Pyrénées-Orientales to whichever of our 2,500 selected headhunters gets the best results in that specific field, whether in Perpignan or a smaller town in the department.
how much does a recruitment agency cost in the Pyrénées-Orientales?
An agency's fees mostly depend on how scarce the role is: a healthcare or management role costs more to approach than an administrative one, and some agencies ask for a retainer regardless of outcome.
With Muzzo, you choose the fee yourself, between 5 and 30%, and you only pay it on hire, wherever the role is in the Pyrénées-Orientales. No retainer, no commitment before the first interview.
what does the Saint-Charles International platform change for hiring?
Based in Perpignan since 1970, Saint-Charles International is Europe's leading fresh fruit and vegetable marketing, transport and logistics hub. It brings together more than 150 companies on 80 hectares, for more than 2,500 direct jobs, according to its own figures: it presents itself as the department's leading employment hub.
More than 1.8 million tonnes of fruit and vegetables pass through annually, 40% heading for export. The roles sought - international trade, logistics, cold chain - are rarely covered by a generalist agency that doesn't know this specific sector.
why are healthcare roles so tight in the Pyrénées-Orientales?
According to France Travail, 180 nursing and midwifery hiring plans are forecast for 2026 in the department, 83.3% rated difficult to fill. For doctors, difficulty climbs to 91.7%.
For a healthcare or medical facility, that means vacant roles for months if recruitment stays passive. A specialized headhunter approaches practitioners already in post directly, rather than waiting for applications that don't come.
does the rail link to Spain change the recruitment pool?
The high-speed rail line between Perpignan and Figueras, completed in 2009, saw its first commercial service on 19 December 2010, then its full service on 17 January 2013, once the Barcelona-Figueras line opened in turn.
For companies in the department, this link brings Perpignan closer to Girona and Barcelona, and can widen the pool of bilingual or cross-border profiles for certain roles, especially in international trade and logistics.
how do our headhunters hire in the Pyrénées-Orientales?
The headhunter assigned to your role knows the sector in question, whether trade around Saint-Charles International, healthcare or a management role, and the companies already hiring there. They approach profiles already in post directly rather than waiting for applications.
From Perpignan to the smallest town in the department, the average timeline stays the same: 26 days between briefing and signature. And if your new hire leaves within 3 months, we restart the search at no cost.
your questions about hiring in the Pyrénées-Orientales
Because demand far exceeds local supply: according to France Travail, 83.3% of nursing recruitment plans and 91.7% of doctor recruitment plans are rated difficult in 2026. A healthcare-specialized headhunter approaches practitioners in post directly.
More than 150 import-export, transport and logistics companies for fresh fruit and vegetables, for more than 2,500 direct jobs according to the platform itself. Roles range from international trade to logistics operations.
Yes. The high-speed rail link to Figueras, in service since 2013, brings Perpignan closer to Spanish Catalonia. For certain international trade roles, this can widen the pool of French-Spanish bilingual profiles.
