one last question?
You set the fee for each role, between 5 and 30%, and you only pay it on hire. No deposit, no fixed fees. A developer on assignment and a director of IT projects do not call for the same search effort: the fee follows that difference.
You get a double guarantee. If your new hire leaves within 3 months, for example because the type of engagement or the client were not what was planned, we restart the search at no cost. If no replacement is found 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 firm's developer delivers for a client, not for a product
delivering to a brief, not a product roadmap
They need to understand the client's business, keep to an engagement schedule and meet their commitments. The headhunter checks this delivery experience, not just the stack.
several engagements, several stacks
A developer at an IT services firm sometimes changes stack and client from one engagement to the next. The headhunter checks their ability to adapt quickly, not just a stack of technologies on a CV.
the project manager owns the schedule and the client relationship
They don't necessarily code day to day, but they're accountable for the schedule, the budget and client satisfaction: a different profile from a product lead developer.

the method
a headhunter who knows client-engagement delivery
A product developer and a developer on client assignment don't have the same instincts. The method starts from the type of engagement and the client.
the brief starts from the type of engagement
Development, integration, managed services, time and materials or fixed price: the type of engagement and the client's sector matter more than the job title.
a headhunter who specialises in development at firms
Among more than 2,500 selected headhunters, your role goes to those with the most hires in this field at consulting firms or IT services companies.
engagements checked before the interview
The headhunter checks the engagements delivered for clients, the stacks used and the level of autonomy, not just the name of the previous firm.
hiring a developer for a consulting firm or IT services company
why use a developer recruitment agency for consulting?
A firm's developer or IT project manager works on assignment for one or several clients, with a schedule and a budget to keep to. This profile isn't hired the way a startup's product developer is, building for its own users.
A developer recruitment agency specialising in consulting knows this exercise: it knows what an engagement delivered on time is worth, and approaches profiles already in post at a competing firm or IT services company, the ones who never answer job ads.
is it hard to hire an IT project manager in 2026?
According to the France Travail BMO 2026 survey, 2,330 recruitment projects for IT project managers and service directors are planned nationally, and 45.9% of them are rated difficult, above the all-roles average (43.8%).
For a consulting firm or IT services company, this role weighs directly on client satisfaction: a schedule that slips or a budget overrun shows immediately, contract by contract.
developer on assignment, tech lead, project manager: whom should you hire?
The developer on assignment works for one or several clients, sometimes on different stacks from one engagement to the next: their work is judged on how fast they adapt. The tech lead manages a team of developers on assignment and is accountable for quality delivered to the client.
The IT project manager doesn't necessarily code day to day: they own the schedule, the budget and the client relationship. These three profiles are neither found in the same networks nor judged on the same criteria.
