Testimonials
They trusted Licorne Society with their key roles
We wanted to hire a senior tech profile, a key hire for the development of our startup. Working with Licorne Society freed up valuable time on screening and first calls with candidates. André fully understood our needs and our mindset, and only put forward highly relevant candidates. Having that support took a real weight off our shoulders.
We worked together on the confidential hire of a Head of Accounting who needed to start very quickly. Even though other firms were working on the same search, this agency grasped what was at stake and listened carefully to our needs, putting forward candidates who matched both the expected profile and the technical and software skills required.
