Testimonials
They trusted the Licorne Society team with their IT hiring
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!
Lots of complex hires in a short space of time. Strong, high-quality candidates presented and shortlisted. Friendly people who understand the brief very well and are always available. We recommend them.
We were looking for experienced developers (SQL Server, SAP ABAP...). We were quickly put in touch with candidates, and 50% of the headcount we needed was hired in under a month. We also strengthened the team with a Group IT manager, a highly strategic hire.

Recruiting the right IT profile for your company
The challenges of recruiting in IT
IT hiring has become a real challenge for digital companies that want to build the best technical teams
- IT roles and skills are increasingly niche and specialised,
- Candidate communities for IT roles are hard to target,
- Competition for IT talent is fierce.
IT roles are therefore hard to fill, often take a long time and eat up a considerable amount of HR teams' time.
To benchmark pay levels by role, see our IT salary guide (in French).
