one last question?
You set the fee for each role, between 5 and 30%. You only pay it once the person is hired. No fixed fees, no deposit. If you don't hire, you pay nothing. The Muzzo team helps you choose the right amount.
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 new hires are still in post after 3 months.
Click “get started” and describe your role in two steps. The Muzzo team gets back to you to refine what you need. Then the headhunters who make the most placements in that field get to work. Launching is free, with no exclusivity.

the reality
a good product person is judged on their decisions, not their CV
product manager and product owner: not the same role everywhere
In a scale-up, the product manager decides the roadmap. In a large group, the product owner writes the requirements for the tech team. The headhunter starts from your organisation, not from the title.
a CV doesn't show the trade-offs
A product career is judged on the choices made, the features dropped, the metrics tracked. The headhunter digs into these before introducing a profile.
designer and PM are hired together
The product designer works with the product manager every day. When both roles open, they go to two headhunters, each in their own field, and move forward at the same time.
the roles
the product and design profiles our headhunters find for you
From your first product owner to your head of product, from UX designer to design leadership, each role goes to a headhunter who knows that job.
product manager
The product manager decides what to build and why, with customers, tech and leadership. We look for people who have already launched a product people use.

product owner
The product owner turns needs into tasks for the development team and keeps delivery on pace. A key role in agile teams.

head of product and CPO
The head of product leads the product managers and champions the product vision with leadership. A hire that shapes the company for years.

product designer
The product designer designs the whole experience, from user journey to final screen. The headhunter looks at their portfolio and the results achieved.

UX/UI designer
The UX/UI designer designs interfaces that are easy to use and consistent with your brand. Often the first designer in a product team.

UX researcher
The UX researcher interviews and observes your users to guide product decisions. A role that is still rare and that few recruiters know how to assess.

product manager in traditional industries
In insurance, real estate or retail, the product manager (chef de produit) owns an offer end to end: design, pricing, launch.

the method
one headhunter per product role, not another tech recruiter
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 and your product team
You fill in the form, then we talk it through: the product, the organisation, the level, the salary. You set the fee, between 5 and 30%.
we choose the headhunters
From more than 2,500 selected headhunters, we keep those who make the most placements in product and design.
you meet people who have shipped
The headhunter checks what each profile has built and decided. You receive fewer CVs, but ones that match.
you only pay if you hire
Nothing to pay upfront. No fixed fees, no deposit.

why use a product recruitment agency
A product recruitment agency looks for the people who decide what the team builds: product managers, product owners, product designers, heads of product. These roles can't be judged on a job title. The same title covers a whole roadmap in a scale-up and the day-to-day organisation of a delivery team in a large group.
Strong product people are in post, often in the middle of a launch. They don't read job ads and rarely answer generic messages. A product headhunter knows what they have shipped and calls them with a specific project: yours.
hiring a product manager or a product owner: defining the right role
The Scrum Guide, the reference for agile teams, makes the product owner accountable for the value of the product and for managing the backlog. In many French companies the role is split: the product manager owns the vision, the trade-offs and the customer relationship, while the product owner runs the development team's day-to-day work.
Before the search starts, the Muzzo team helps you decide: who owns the roadmap, who talks to customers, who tracks the metrics. A well-defined role attracts the right people and saves the headhunter weeks.
hiring a product designer, a UX designer or a UX researcher
The product designer shapes the whole journey, the UX/UI designer designs the screens, the UX researcher interviews and observes users. Three related but distinct jobs. The headhunter looks at the portfolio, and above all at the decisions made and the results measured after launch.
Accessibility is now a requirement. Since mid-2025, the European Accessibility Act, Directive (EU) 2019/882, applies to e-commerce websites and apps and to consumer banking services, among others, with microenterprises exempt. A designer who knows the RGAA, the French digital accessibility standard, saves the whole team time.
how our headhunters assess a product profile
A product CV lists features. The headhunter digs into what it leaves out: the choices made, the features dropped, the metrics tracked, how they said no to a major customer. They also check the relationship with engineering: a product manager who can't talk to developers slows the whole team down.
For a product that uses AI, one more skill matters: scoping a use case, measuring its quality and anticipating the obligations of the EU AI Act, Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, which has applied in stages since 2025. The headhunter asks these questions before introducing anyone to you.
a tech recruitment agency or product headhunters?
A tech recruitment agency mostly looks for developers and treats product as a side line. At Muzzo, your role goes to the headhunters with the best results in that job, chosen from more than 2,500 selected headhunters. For Libeo, we recruited two product managers and a product designer. For Theodo, a VP of experience design.
You set the fee, between 5 and 30%, and you only pay on hire. Getting started is free, with no exclusivity. If your new hire leaves within 3 months, 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 hires are still in post after 3 months.
your questions about hiring in product and design
On average, a Muzzo hire takes 26 days, across all roles, over the last 12 months. For a product manager, the timing depends mostly on the sector, the level and the type of product. The Muzzo team gives you an estimate from your first conversation.
Yes: product designers, UX/UI designers and UX researchers, up to design leadership roles. For Theodo, we recruited a VP of experience design.
If you need someone to decide the roadmap, it's a product manager. If you need someone to organise the tech team's work day to day, it's a product owner. The Muzzo team helps you decide in your first conversation.
