they hire with muzzo
how do you hire a manager in Savoie through a recruitment agency?
In Savoie, mountain tourism sets the pace: more than one in two hiring plans is seasonal in 2026, around the ski resorts and Lake Bourget. 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 permanent role at Savoie Technolac isn't hired like a seasonal role in a resort: 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
in Savoie, seasonal work outweighs permanent work
more than one in two hiring plans is seasonal
Ski resorts and lake tourism mobilise part of the job market at the same time every year. A generalist agency quickly confuses a permanent role with a seasonal one.
Chambéry and Savoie Technolac hire all year round
Away from tourism, the Savoie Technolac business park brings together 240 companies and 4,000 permanent jobs around energy and digital technology.
construction is the hardest sector to fill
According to France Travail, 68% of hiring plans in the construction sector are rated difficult in the department, the highest rate of all sectors.
the roles
the profiles our headhunters find for you in Savoie
From Chambéry to the mountain resorts, each role goes to a headhunter who knows that field.
executive and institutional leadership
CEO, tourism establishment director, industrial site director. The headhunter approaches executives in post, discreetly, whether the activity is permanent or seasonal.
operations and tourism management
Operations director, accommodation manager, ski-lift manager. Roles that hire under the pressure of the season's calendar.
sales and business development
Sales director, sales engineer, sales manager. The headhunter checks the revenue genuinely signed, season after season.
construction and mountain building sites
Site manager, site supervisor, design engineer. Savoie's building sites hire in a sector where more than two-thirds of plans are rated difficult.
maintenance and quality control
Maintenance technician, quality manager, methods engineer. The hardest role to fill in the department, according to France Travail, is precisely quality control.
healthcare and care management
Healthcare manager, director of a medico-social institution, lead nurse. Hires that never stop, unlike the tourist season.

hiring in Savoie: what you need to know
how do you choose a recruitment agency in Savoie?
The department runs on two different rhythms: a tourism economy paced by the seasons, and a permanent service and technology economy around Chambéry. An agency that's good at placing seasonal roles isn't necessarily the right one for a permanent leadership role.
Muzzo doesn't impose a single agency for the whole of Savoie: your role goes to whichever of our 2,500 selected headhunters gets the best results in that specific field.
how much does a recruitment agency cost in Savoie?
An agency generally charges a percentage of the annual salary, sometimes a flat fee, and often asks 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.
why does seasonality weigh so heavily on hiring in Savoie?
According to France Travail, 51% of hiring plans forecast for 2026 in Savoie are linked to seasonal activity, one of the highest rates in the region. Accommodation and food service alone account for 30% of all the department's plans.
For café and restaurant waiting staff, the contrast is stark: 1,970 seasonal hiring plans are forecast for 2026, against only 360 outside the season. A permanent employer has to stand out in a market saturated by seasonal hiring at the same time.
how much does Savoie Technolac weigh in the department's economy?
In Chambéry, the Savoie Technolac business park, spanning La Motte-Servolex and Le Bourget-du-Lac, brings together 240 companies, 4,000 jobs, 1,000 researchers and 6,000 students across 150 hectares, according to the Grand Chambéry authority.
The site is geared towards energy and digital technology, far from the seasonal rhythm of the resorts. It's a permanent hiring area, with its own pools of technical managers.
which roles are hardest to hire for in Savoie?
The construction sector is the hardest to fill in the department, at 68%, according to France Travail. Quality control technicians show the highest rate of all roles, at 97%, an entirely non-seasonal role.
Albertville, which hosted the Winter Olympics in 1992, remains associated with the mountains and tourism: but most of the department's hard-to-fill roles are found elsewhere, in industry and services.
how do our headhunters hire in Savoie?
The headhunter assigned to your role knows the rhythm of the relevant area, permanent around Chambéry or seasonal in the resorts, and the companies already hiring there in that field.
Across the department, a Muzzo hire is signed in 26 days on average. If your new hire leaves before 3 months, we restart the search at no cost.
your questions about hiring in Savoie
Yes. More than one in two hiring plans is linked to seasonal activity in the department, according to France Travail. For a permanent role outside tourism, that means increased competition for available profiles at the same time of year. Our headhunters look for the right profiles all year round, not just out of season.
