Testimonials
They trusted the Licorne Society team with their Finance hiring
We worked together on the confidential hire of a Head of Accounting who needed to start very quickly. Even though they were up against other agencies on this search, they fully grasped what was at stake and really listened to our needs, putting forward candidates who were well targeted in terms of both the profile we expected and the technical and software skills required.
We brought in Licorne Society to recruit our future CFO. We needed tailored support to find someone who was right for our organisation. The hiring process went perfectly. The candidates Malo put forward were well targeted and interesting, and the timeline was fully met. Working together was smooth and efficient, and saved us valuable time.
Licorne Society is helping us recruit Senior Consultants and Managers as we grow. They know the profiles we are looking for inside out and fully understood what we needed. They manage to source very strong candidates despite a highly competitive market! Thanks to Licorne, we hired 2 excellent candidates in a few months.
