Testimonials
They trusted the Licorne Society team with their AI hiring
3 roles already filled: our lead dev, a biometrics expert and an iOS mobile developer. Currently hiring: a cryptography expert and a cybersecurity engineer. A very professional team that really listens. The candidates they put forward are excellent and match the original brief, even though these profiles are both rare and in high demand, which makes them hard to recruit.
We were hiring hybrid Data Scientist / Data Analyst / Analytics Engineer profiles with a solid technical background and real hands-on experience in Operations (Supply Chain, Logistics, Manufacturing...). We were introduced to very strong candidates from top schools, with relevant experience. The pre-screening and the way the process was managed were spot on. We successfully made several hires within a few months.
We worked with Licorne Society on key positions such as CTO and CEO, as well as on more technical roles. They put forward relevant candidates very quickly and helped us sharpen our brief. Licorne Society helps us target the right people and reach candidates who aren't necessarily on the market, which frees us to focus on the business and on building our HR function.
