they hire with muzzo
how do you hire a manager in the Puy-de-Dôme through a recruitment agency?
Beyond Clermont-Ferrand, the Puy-de-Dôme has two distinct industrial hubs: Riom, geared towards food processing, and Issoire, specialised in aerospace aluminium. 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 only 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. An aerospace quality engineer in Issoire isn't hired like an administrative role in Riom: 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 the Puy-de-Dôme, two hubs far from Clermont-Ferrand
Riom and Issoire carry more weight than their size suggests
Riom concentrates food processing and seed production, Issoire aerospace aluminium. An agency focused only on the prefecture overlooks these two industrial hubs of the department.
construction is the most strained sector
According to France Travail, 82% of hiring plans in the construction sector are rated difficult in the department, and 100% of plans for qualified bricklayers. Building sites are waiting for their crews.
IT hiring reaches far beyond the big cities
73% of hiring plans for IT design and development technicians are rated difficult in the Puy-de-Dôme. The department's industrial sites compete for the same technical profiles.
the roles
the profiles our headhunters find for you in the Puy-de-Dôme
From Clermont-Ferrand to Issoire, 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, whether the site is in Clermont-Ferrand, Riom or Issoire.
engineering and industrial production
Process engineer, quality engineer, production manager. Issoire's aerospace aluminium industry and Riom's food processing sector compete for the same highly skilled technical profiles.
maintenance and methods
Maintenance manager, methods technician, reliability engineer. The department's industrial sites run continuously and can't afford a vacant position.
sales and key accounts

hiring in the Puy-de-Dôme: what you need to know
how do you choose a recruitment agency in the Puy-de-Dôme?
The department is more than its prefecture. Riom, with its food processing and seed production, and Issoire, with its aerospace aluminium, each have their own companies and hiring norms, different from those of Clermont-Ferrand.
Rather than one agency for the whole department, Muzzo hands each role to whichever of our 2,500 selected headhunters gets the best results in that specific field, wherever the site is in the Puy-de-Dôme.
how much does a recruitment agency cost in the Puy-de-Dôme?
An agency's fees mostly depend on the seniority of the role and how rare it is: an aerospace quality engineer role costs more to fill than an administrative one, and some agencies ask for a retainer regardless of outcome.
With Muzzo, the principle stays the same everywhere in the department: a fee between 5 and 30% chosen by you, paid only on hire, with zero commitment beforehand.
why is construction so hard to hire for in the Puy-de-Dôme?
According to France Travail, 20,300 hiring plans are forecast for 2026 in the department, and 42% of them are rated difficult by employers. The construction sector is hit hardest, at 82%, and qualified bricklayers show 100% of plans rated difficult.
For an employer, it isn't just a building-site problem: lorry drivers and vehicle mechanics are also becoming scarce, and competition between companies is pushing salaries up.
how much do Riom and Issoire weigh in the department's economy?
In Issoire, the Constellium site employs 1,600 people across 94 hectares and makes aluminium parts for aerospace and space, for aircraft makers such as Airbus and Boeing: more than 80% of its revenue comes from that sector.
In Riom, the Portes de Riom business park brings together 146 companies across 50.8 hectares, including Limagrain Ingredients, a subsidiary of the Limagrain seed group. Two industrial hubs that the prefecture alone doesn't sum up.
which roles are hardest to fill in the Puy-de-Dôme?
After construction roles, IT design and development technicians show the highest difficulty rate in the department: 73% of hiring plans rated difficult in 2026, according to France Travail.
Care assistants, lorry drivers and vehicle mechanics complete a list of roles where demand far outstrips the available supply, whichever employment area of the department you look at.
how do our headhunters hire in the Puy-de-Dôme?
The headhunter assigned to your role knows the relevant area, Clermont-Ferrand, Riom or Issoire, and the companies already hiring there in that field. They approach profiles already in post directly rather than waiting for applications.
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.

According to France Travail, 100% of hiring plans for qualified bricklayers are rated difficult in the department in 2026, and 82% for the construction sector as a whole. Our headhunters widen the search to profiles already in post, rather than waiting for speculative applications.
