What's a "placeur"?
"Quiconque entend exercer en Suisse, regulièrement et contre rérnunération, une activité de placeur, qui consiste à mettre employeurs et demandeurs d'emploi en contact afin qu'ils puissent conclure des contrats de travail, doit avoir obtenu, conformément a l'art. 2, al. 1, LSE, une autorisation de l'office cantonal du travail du canton dans lequel le placeur a son siège"

Well, I think this activity is what we call "placement":
"Sports agents act, first and foremost, as intermediaries between sportspersons and sports clubs/organisers of sports events with a view to employing or hiring an athlete or sportsperson. They bring together the parties interested in concluding an agreement concerning the practice of a sport as a remunerated activity. Finding a job placement for a sportsperson is the central and specific role of sports agents."

So "placement agent" seems to be the logical way to handle this:
"4. Conditions governing the operation of the sports agent’s activity
4.1. Contract
The placement contract may be temporary or permanent.
4.2. Remuneration
The placement agent’s remuneration may be a fixed amount or a fee or a combination of both."
