Testimonials
They trusted Licorne Society with their industrial hiring
We needed to hire a replacement before the departure had even been announced internally. They helped us hire that person within an extremely short timeframe and without any online job ad. We were able to replace a departure on a very tight schedule, for a high-stakes role for us.
We were looking for experienced developers (SQL Server, SAP ABAP...). We were quickly put in touch with candidates and half of the roles were filled in under a month. We also strengthened the team with a Group IT manager, in a highly strategic hire.
We work with Licorne Society on our hiring strategy and needs, for specific roles. The team understood our challenges in a niche market, with strong industrial, quality and regulatory constraints. That is what makes the difference for us: a real understanding of the business challenges of our activity. A reliable, long-term recruitment partner that we highly recommend. The Licorne Society team and their tools made it easy for us to identify and approach relevant profiles!
