they hire with muzzo
how do you hire a manager in Bastia through a recruitment agency?
Corsica's leading passenger port and seat of the Haute-Corse prefecture, Bastia concentrates maritime, logistics and administrative functions. Muzzo hands every role in Bastia to the headhunter who places most hires in that field. A fee of 5 to 30%, paid on hire; a departure within 3 months reopens 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 deposit, no fixed fees. A port operations role is not hired like an administrative role: 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.

hiring in Bastia: what you need to know
how do you choose a recruitment agency in Bastia?

how much does a recruitment agency cost in Bastia?
An agency's price depends on the role level and the billing model chosen: flat fee, salary percentage, or non-refundable deposit at search start. For a management or port operations role in Bastia, the cost ramps up fast with flat-fee agencies.
With Muzzo, you set yourself the fee, from 5 to 30%, and it is owed only on hire. No deposit, no fees if the search doesn't work out.

which profiles are most sought in Bastia?
