one last question?
You set the fee for each role, between 5 and 30%, and you only pay it on hire. No fixed fees, no deposit. A fiber technician and a senior radio engineer don't take the same effort: the fee follows how rare the profile is, and the Muzzo team helps you set it.
You have a double guarantee. If your new hire leaves within 3 months, for example because the project or scope changed, we restart the search at no cost. If we find no replacement within 4 months, we refund 50% of the fees. On average, 94% of hires stay in post after 3 months.

the reality
in telecom, networks are built by people already in post
a skilled fiber technician on schedule isn't looking
A good installation or maintenance technician is already booked on a project schedule. A telecom headhunter knows where to find them, often at a subcontractor, integrator or nearby operator.
deployment, operations, sales: three different jobs
An FTTH project manager doesn't run a network like a radio engineer, and a B2B salesperson selling to an operator doesn't sell the same way as one selling to an SME. The headhunter starts from the precise job, not the telecom title.
large groups snap up experienced profiles
Historic operators and large equipment makers hire continuously and pay well. A smaller equipment maker or integrator must convince them differently, and fast.
the roles
the telecom profiles our headhunters go after for you
From network deployment to its sale, each role goes to a headhunter who knows the field.
network and telecom technician
They install, connect and troubleshoot network equipment in fiber or mobile. A field role, often at an operator's subcontractor.
FTTH deployment project manager
They plan zone deployment, coordinate subcontractors and meet the operator or local authority's deadlines.
network engineer and radio engineer
They size, configure and supervise a fixed or mobile network, through to 5G coverage of a zone.
R&D engineer and manager in telecom research and development
At an equipment maker, they design the equipment and protocols for next-generation networks.
B2B telecom salesperson and key accounts manager
They sell network contracts to companies or operators, with a technical and lengthy sales cycle.
telecom technical support technician
They resolve network incidents for a professional client, often with a contractual service level to meet.
network operations manager and supervisor
They oversee daily network availability: incidents, maintenance, version upgrades.
the method
a telecom headhunter, not an agency that does everything
Deploying a network, running it and selling it are three jobs. So the method starts from the precise job.
we scope the job and network concerned
Fiber, mobile, core network or support: the brief sets out the technology, level and certifications needed.
one headhunter per telecom stream
From more than 2,500 selected headhunters, your role goes to those who place the most people in this job: deployment, operations, R&D or sales.
networks and projects checked before interview
The headhunter asks which networks or projects the profile delivered, with which volumes and timelines, then cross-checks with references.

hiring in telecom: what you need to know
A telecom recruitment agency finds the profiles who deploy, operate and sell network infrastructure: operators, equipment makers, network integrators. The sector employs 110,876 private employees as of June 2026 according to Urssaf, in a technical field where good profiles are rarely actively looking.
With Muzzo, your role is not posted as just another job ad. It goes to the headhunters who place the most people in this precise job. The one who places fiber technicians is not the one who places a sales director for an operator.
An operator or local authority deploying a zone needs FTTH project managers and installation technicians capable of keeping to a project schedule. An integrator or equipment maker needs network and radio engineers to size and evolve the infrastructure.
On the sales side, selling a network contract to an operator or large enterprise takes a long technical sales cycle, different from selling to an SME. The brief must say who the role sells to, not just what it sells.
According to France Travail's 2026 BMO survey, 48.5% of the 2,740 planned hires of technicians in installation, maintenance and technical support for telecom and low-voltage work are rated hard to fill. A figure across all levels, which mainly says these field jobs lack available candidates.
For these roles, a job ad isn't enough. Headhunters approach technicians already in post at an operator's subcontractor, integrator or other equipment maker, with a real project to present.
Many telecom technicians come from low-voltage work or general electrical installation, and many network engineers come from pure IT. Still, you need to verify what transfers: a low-voltage technician may not know the norms and equipment specific to fiber or mobile.
The headhunter verifies this before interview: technologies used, project or site volumes held, current certifications. They also tell you what the profile will need to learn with you.
what salary to offer in telecom in 2026?
According to Apec's 2025 pay study, managers in the IT and telecom network job family employed in the telecom sector earn €43k gross per year at the median, with 80% of them between €36k and €72k.
This benchmark is lower than the median across all sectors for the same job family, which includes network administrators and architects in other industries. Compare it to your pay grid before starting the search, taking into account experience level and the technology targeted.
A good telecom profile is in post, often in the middle of a deployment or operations project. Headhunters approach them directly at operators, equipment makers, integrators and their subcontractors. They verify the networks and projects actually delivered and introduce you to few profiles, all qualified.
Searches stay confidential: a new market, a won tender or a project lead's departure aren't announced until they are concluded. On an urgent role, multiple headhunters can search at once, each in their own network.
your questions about telecom hiring
Yes. Our headhunters have already hired network and telecom technicians and B2B salespeople for companies in the field. Each role goes to the headhunter who knows the technology involved: you don't search for an FTTH project manager in the same networks as a mobile core network engineer.
According to Apec, managers in the IT and telecom network job family employed in the telecom sector earn a median gross annual pay of €43k, with 80% earning between €36k and €72k (2025 edition). The same job family across all sectors has a higher median, at €51k.
Yes. According to France Travail's 2026 BMO survey, 48.5% of the 2,740 planned hires of technicians in installation, maintenance and technical support for telecom are rated hard to fill. For these field jobs, headhunters approach technicians already in post rather than waiting for job ad responses.
