they hire with muzzo
how do you hire staff in Angoulême through a recruitment agency?
Angoulême combines a recognized image hub (comics, animation, video games) and the functions of a prefectoral city, administration and healthcare. Muzzo hands your roles to the headhunter with the most placements in that field. You set the fee, from 5 to 30%, paid on hire: if your new hire leaves within 3 months, the search restarts at no cost.
one last question?
With Muzzo, you set the fee for each role, from 5 to 30%, and you only pay it on hire. No deposit, no fixed fees. A creative profile from the Magelis hub who needs persuading to leave a nearby studio costs differently to hire than an already open role: the fee matches the difficulty of the position.
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 Angoulême, two economies are hiring at once
the image sector and administration seek different profiles
An animation studio in the Magelis hub and a healthcare facility or regional administration hire for different skills and different talent pools. A generalist headhunter will miss one of the two markets.
experienced creative profiles are already employed
A technical director, video game developer or experienced creative director already has a role in a nearby studio. You need to approach them directly, not publish a job ad and wait.
healthcare and administration roles are short of candidates
Like elsewhere in France, Angoulême's healthcare and public services struggle to hire certain management and care profiles. A headhunter knows where and how to find them.
the roles
the profiles our headhunters will find for you in Angoulême
Image sector and prefectoral functions: each role goes to a headhunter who knows that field.
chief executive and studio director
Animation or video game studio director, site director, subsidiary director. The headhunter approaches these profiles in post, discreetly, never revealing the company name before the first conversation.
animation, video games and image production
Technical director, creative director, animation project manager, video game producer: the rare and highly sought roles in the Magelis hub.
video game developers and technicians
Gameplay developer, engine programmer, technical artist. Angoulême studios compete for these profiles, often trained at the image campus schools.
healthcare management and medical direction
Healthcare manager, medical coordinator, director of a care facility. Sensitive roles for Angoulême's healthcare services.
finance and financial control
CFO, financial controller, finance and admin manager: leadership functions for both studios and public sector organizations.
sales and business development
Sales manager, business developer, production manager. The headhunter verifies what the person has actually delivered, not just their stated portfolio.
the method
one headhunter per role, not one firm for everything
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
You fill in the form, then we talk it through: the job, the workplace in Angoulême, the salary. You set the fee, between 5 and 30%.
we choose the headhunters

you meet the right profiles
The headhunters approach and check every profile. You receive fewer CVs, but ones that match.

Nothing to pay upfront. No fixed fees, no deposit.

hiring in Angoulême: what you need to know
how do you choose a recruitment agency in Angoulême?
In Angoulême, a generalist agency often misses one of the two talent markets in the town: the creative profiles specific to the Magelis image hub, very specialized, and the management roles in healthcare or administration, just as specialized.
Muzzo takes a different approach: rather than hand Angoulême to a generalist agency, we direct your role to whichever of our 2,500 selected headhunters has the best record in that specific field, and you have just one point of contact.
how much does a recruitment agency cost in Angoulême?
The cost of a recruitment agency depends on the seniority of the role and the billing model chosen: fixed fee, percentage of salary, or non-refundable deposit at launch. For a senior role or healthcare role in Angoulême, the bill mounts fast with agencies charging fixed fees.
At Muzzo, you set your own fee, from 5 to 30%, and it is due only on hire. No deposit, no cost if the search doesn't result in a hire.
why does Angoulême have such a developed image hub?
Angoulême is designated a UNESCO Creative City and has hosted the Magelis image hub since the late 1990s, which brings together more than 200 businesses, more than 50 animation and video game studios, and more than 2,000 full-time equivalent jobs.
Cognac, on the other hand, remains a sector concentrated further west in the department, around Cognac and Jarnac: in Angoulême, wine-growing and wine trading do not weigh on the local job market the way the image sector does.
what does this mean for an employer in Angoulême?
For an animation or video game studio in Angoulême, it means a pool of young graduates nearby: 15 higher education schools of the image campus train around 2,000 students, a talent pool that studios compete for straight out of school.
For a healthcare facility or government body, it means competition with studios for the same management profiles, and a tight market for healthcare managers, like elsewhere in France.
which profiles are most sought in Angoulême?
43.1% of jobs in Angoulême are in public administration, education, healthcare and social action, almost level in 2023 with commerce, transport and services (43.3%, down from 45.2% in 2012).
The most sought profiles therefore split into two worlds: healthcare and administrative management on one side, creative and technical roles in the Magelis hub on the other: studio direction, video game development, animation production.
how do our headhunters hire in Angoulême?
In Angoulême, the headhunter focuses on verifying the true scope of a role: budget managed, team size, reporting line, and for a creative profile, the work actually delivered.
Average time: 26 days from brief to signature, which includes Angoulême across all fields. A replacement guarantee applies if your new hire leaves within 3 months.
your questions about hiring in Angoulême
Because the best creative and technical profiles are already in post at one of the nearby studios, and the talent pool stays concentrated in a tight employment area. A headhunter approaches them directly, with a prepared pitch, rather than waiting for applications.
