Testimonials
They trusted the Licorne Society team with their CPO hiring
This was a strategic executive committee hire, and the last 2 people we had recruited into the role hadn't worked out. We hired our new CPO, who within a few months had reorganised the team and delivered tangible results. They are exactly what our teams and the executive committee were looking for to grow the company.
A key Head of Product hire, successfully made in just 2 weeks!
We work with Licorne Society on Head of Engineering and Head of Product roles, profiles that are rare for Betclic and very hard to find given how demanding our operational teams are. The process is smooth and efficient, and the candidates they put forward are always relevant. A genuinely trusted partner, and a pleasure to work with.
