Testimonials
They trusted the Licorne Society team with their Data hiring
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 brought in Licorne Society during our technology transformation, when we needed to hire new TECH skills across several areas: Product, Delivery, QA, Engineering. Not only were they very responsive, they also put forward the candidates who best matched the brief. Of the 4 agencies we worked with, Licorne Society had the highest success rate. Well done!
They found the candidate quickly, in the middle of summer. Great to work with, and the hire was made in record time! The role was vacant, so it was urgent and we needed a fast response over the summer.
