they hire with muzzo
how do you hire a manager in the Rhône through a recruitment agency?
Beyond Lyon and Villeurbanne, the Rhône also hires to the east of the metropolis: the Saint-Priest business parks bring together several thousand industrial and technology jobs. Muzzo hands every role in the department to the headhunter with the most placements in that field. You set the fee, from 5 to 30%, paid on hire.
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 highly sought-after IT engineer isn't hired like an operations role in Saint-Priest: 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.

hiring in the Rhône: what you need to know
how do you choose a recruitment agency in the Rhône?
The department isn't limited to the Lyon metropolis. To the east, the Saint-Priest business parks form an industrial and technology economy in their own right, with their own employers and their own hiring habits.
Muzzo doesn't impose a single agency for the whole department: your role goes to whichever of our 2,500 selected headhunters has signed the most hires in that specific field.
how much does a recruitment agency cost in the Rhône?
Agencies in the department most often charge a percentage of the annual salary, sometimes a flat fee, and often ask for a retainer before even presenting a profile.
With Muzzo, the fee is set between 5 and 30% depending on how hard the role is to fill, and you only pay it once the person is hired. A search that doesn't succeed costs you nothing.
why does Saint-Priest matter so much for employment in the Rhône?
According to the city of Saint-Priest, the Parc technologique brings together 7,000 jobs across 212 companies on 140 hectares, spanning health, biotechnology, engineering and IT.
A few kilometres away, the Mi-Plaine industrial zone, spanning Saint-Priest, Chassieu and Genas, brings together 1,370 companies and 20,000 jobs: the city presents it as the second-largest industrial zone in France by number of jobs.
why is the Rhône such a manager-heavy department?
According to Insee, 28.7% of jobs in the Rhône were held by managers and senior professionals in 2023, against 20.0% for the whole of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
For an employer, that means constant competition for the same experienced profiles. More than 1,000 IT engineer hiring plans are forecast each year in this department alone.
which sectors struggle most to hire in the Rhône?
The construction sector shows the highest difficulty rate in the department, at 69%, according to France Travail. Human health and social work follows closely, at 65%.
Sports professionals and instructors are the hardest role to fill in the department (95%), followed by medical technicians and preparers (90%): strains affecting sport as much as the medico-social sector.
how do our headhunters hire in the Rhône?
The headhunter chosen for your role knows the relevant area, the Lyon metropolis or the eastern business parks, and the companies already hiring there in that field. They approach people already in post directly.
Count on 26 days on average between the brief and the signing of a Muzzo hire in the department. If your new hire leaves before 3 months, we restart the search at our expense.
your questions about hiring in the Rhône
