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. 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, 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 Guadeloupe, one archipelago, two talent pools to know
Grande-Terre and Basse-Terre don't hire from the same pool
Pointe-à-Pitre and Les Abymes concentrate head offices and commerce, while Basse-Terre carries the departmental administration. A headhunter who only knows one of the two islands misses half the talent pool.
the population has been falling for over a decade
The department has fewer residents than in 2012. Experienced profiles sometimes leave for mainland France or elsewhere in the Caribbean, and hiring often has to go find them, or convince them to come back.
tourism and healthcare are driving the market
Hotels and restaurants hire year round, and healthcare workers are in short supply across the archipelago. These are the two sectors where roles stay open the longest.
the roles
the profiles our headhunters find for you in Guadeloupe
Site management, care leadership, financial management: each role goes to a headhunter who knows that job in the archipelago.
general management and site management
Hotel director, site director, branch director. The headhunter approaches executives already in post, discreetly, across Grande-Terre and Basse-Terre alike.
finance and management control
CFO, financial controller, accounting manager. The hotel groups and retailers of the archipelago hire for these roles all year round.
sales and key account managers
Sales manager, sales engineer, key account manager. The headhunter traces the revenue the person actually generated, not just their title.
operations and accommodation management
Accommodation director, residence manager, operations manager. The roles that keep the tourism offering running day to day.
healthcare leadership
Care leader, medico-social facility director, quality manager. Healthcare providers in the archipelago struggle to fill these leadership roles.
construction and site management
Site supervisor, foreman, works engineer. Public and private construction projects across the archipelago draw on these roles continuously.
the method
one headhunter per role, not one firm for everything
We have tracked every headhunter since November 2020, on three criteria: how many hires they make, the quality of their profiles, their speed.
you describe the role
You fill in the form, then we talk it through: the job, the workplace in Guadeloupe, the salary. You set the fee, between 5 and 30%.
we choose the headhunters
From more than 2,500 selected headhunters, we keep those with the most hires in your field.
you meet the right profiles
The headhunters approach and check every profile. You receive few CVs, but profiles that match.
you only pay if you hire
Nothing to pay upfront. No fixed fees, no deposit.

hiring in Guadeloupe: what you need to know
how do you choose a recruitment agency in Guadeloupe?
Choose a recruitment agency in Guadeloupe on three criteria: real knowledge of your field, verifiable results on comparable roles, and a good grasp of the archipelago. Hiring in Pointe-à-Pitre is nothing like hiring in Basse-Terre or in the Grands-Fonds.
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. You keep one point of contact, even when your role spans several towns across the archipelago.
how much does a recruitment agency cost in Guadeloupe?
Agencies charge in one of three ways: a flat fee, a success fee, or a mix of both with a retainer up front. The fee is usually a percentage of the new hire's gross annual salary.
With Muzzo, you set the fee yourself, between 5 and 30%, depending on how urgent the role is. No retainer, no fixed fees: everything is paid on hire, not before.
what is the job market like in Guadeloupe?
According to Insee, Guadeloupe had 135,735 jobs at the place of work in 2023, including 17,160 managerial and senior professional roles, or 12.6% of the department's jobs.
The population has been falling for over a decade: 384,160 residents in 2023, against 403,314 in 2012. For an employer, that means a shrinking local talent pool, and hiring that sometimes has to persuade someone to leave mainland France or move back home.
why does tourism weigh so heavily on hiring in Guadeloupe?
The archipelago had 52 hotels and 3,005 rooms as of 1 January 2026, according to Insee. By air, Guadeloupe Pôle Caraïbes airport welcomed 2,106,418 passengers in 2023, up 4.10% year on year, according to its own figures.
That flow shows up directly in hiring: in 2026, hotel staff and restaurant servers rank among the most sought-after roles in the department, with close to one in two hiring plans rated difficult, according to France Travail.
why is healthcare short-staffed in Guadeloupe?
In 2026, France Travail counts 260 hiring plans for nurses and midwives in Guadeloupe, 34.6% of them rated difficult, and 210 plans for care assistants.
Beyond frontline care, facilities also need leadership: care leaders, medico-social facility directors, quality managers. These are roles that general job ads struggle to fill.
how do our headhunters recruit in Guadeloupe?
You describe the role and its island, the most relevant headhunters get started, you meet profiles already approached and checked. The headhunter can also approach people currently working in mainland France.
On average, a Muzzo hire is signed in 26 days, across all roles. If your new hire leaves within 3 months, we restart the search at no cost, and if we don't find a replacement within 4 months, we refund 50% of the fees.
your questions about hiring in Guadeloupe
Yes, it's common: our headhunters also approach people from the archipelago who have settled elsewhere in France, often open to moving back if the role and terms make sense. They check real motivation before putting the profile forward.
Both areas have their own pressures: Pointe-à-Pitre and Les Abymes concentrate commerce and head offices, Basse-Terre carries the departmental administration. Our headhunters track both talent pools separately, because the roles in demand differ.
Because the good profiles, in hotels as in healthcare, already have a job and don't respond to job ads. A headhunter approaches them directly and checks their track record before putting them forward.
