they hire with muzzo
how do you hire a manager in Côtes-d'Armor through a recruitment agency?
Between Saint-Brieuc, Lannion and its telecoms sector, and Lamballe-Armor and its food production, Côtes-d'Armor hires for very different roles. Muzzo hands every position to the headhunter with the most placements in that specific field. You set the fee, from 5 to 30%, paid on hire: a departure within 3 months restarts 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 telecoms engineer in Lannion isn't hired like an administrative role in Saint-Brieuc: 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
the department has three distinct hiring areas
three economies, three areas
Saint-Brieuc concentrates administration and food production around the Zoopôle. Lannion keeps a historic centre for telecoms and photonics. Lamballe-Armor lives by pig farming. One headhunter doesn't necessarily know all three markets.
one in two positions is hard to fill
According to France Travail, 50.4% of the department's hiring plans are rated difficult by employers in 2026, above the national average.
rare skills don't come from job ads
Telecoms engineer in Lannion, quality manager for food production in Lamballe-Armor, animal health researcher at the Zoopôle: these profiles are few and already in post.
the roles
the profiles our headhunters find for you in Côtes-d'Armor
From Saint-Brieuc to Lamballe-Armor, each role goes to a headhunter who knows that field.
executive and site leadership
CEO, plant director, subsidiary director. The headhunter approaches executives in post, discreetly, around Saint-Brieuc as much as Lamballe-Armor.
finance and financial control
CFO, financial controller, accounting manager. Food production groups and industrial SMEs in the department hire constantly for these roles.
telecoms and photonics engineers

quality, production and animal health

hiring in Côtes-d'Armor: what you need to know
how do you choose a recruitment agency in Côtes-d'Armor?
The department unites three different economies: administration and food production around Saint-Brieuc, telecoms around Lannion, pig farming around Lamballe-Armor. An agency that places administrative managers well isn't necessarily right for an industrial or technical role.
Rather than one agency for the whole department, Muzzo hands each Côtes-d'Armor role to whichever of our 2,500 selected headhunters gets the best results in that specific field, whether it's in Saint-Brieuc, Lannion or Lamballe-Armor.
how much does a recruitment agency cost in Côtes-d'Armor?
An agency's fees mostly depend on the seniority and rarity of the role: a telecoms engineer in Lannion isn't hired like an administrative role, and some agencies ask for a retainer regardless of outcome.
With Muzzo, the principle stays the same across the department: a fee between 5 and 30% chosen by you, paid only on hire, with zero commitment beforehand.
what is the Ploufragan Zoopôle?
Created in 1989 near Saint-Brieuc, the Ploufragan Zoopôle today brings together over 50 companies and research and training organisations around animal health, food safety and biotechnology, including an Anses site. About 1,000 professionals work there.
For an employer in food production or animal health, this centre pools a good part of the researchers, technicians and quality engineers in the department, already pursued by companies on site.
why does Lannion stay a centre for telecoms and photonics?
Chosen in the 1960s to host the National Telecommunications Research Centre, Lannion has kept Orange and Alcatel sites around fibre optics and photonics, so much so it's nicknamed a Breton mini-Silicon Valley.
This industrial past leaves a pool of experienced network engineers and optical scientists, trained over decades, that sector companies and remote-hiring groups compete for.
what does food production around Lamballe-Armor mean?
Lamballe-Armor is home to Cooperl, an agricultural and food production cooperative founded in 1966 by local breeders, today structured around over 4,500 member breeders and 7,500 staff, over 4,800 in Brittany.
Around this headquarters, the entire pig farming chain hires production, quality and industrial maintenance profiles, roles where field experience counts as much as a diploma.
how do our headhunters hire in Côtes-d'Armor?
The headhunter assigned to your role knows the relevant area, Saint-Brieuc, Lannion or Lamballe-Armor, and the companies already hiring there in that field. They approach profiles already in post directly rather than waiting for applications.
Across the whole department, a Muzzo hire is signed in 26 days on average. The guarantee applies from day one: a departure within 3 months restarts the search at no extra cost.
your questions about hiring in Côtes-d'Armor
According to the 2026 BMO survey from France Travail, 22,320 hiring plans are forecast in the department, and 50.4% are rated difficult by employers, a share above the national average.
Located near Saint-Brieuc, the Zoopôle has brought together over 50 companies and research organisations since 1989 around animal health and food safety, including an Anses site. A headhunter who knows this pool gains time on a technical role.
Because the pool is old but limited: Lannion has trained and employed network engineers and optical scientists since the 1960s, and these experienced profiles are already in post, most often hired by direct approach rather than job ad.
Because the department has three different economies: administration and food production in Saint-Brieuc, telecoms in Lannion, pig farming in Lamballe-Armor. A headhunter who knows your role and your area moves faster than a generic job ad.
