Testimonials
They trusted Licorne Society with their key MedTech and biotechnology roles
Lots of complex hires on a tight timeline. Strong, well-shortlisted candidates. A friendly team who really get what you need and are always available. Highly recommended.
The candidate was found quickly, in the middle of the summer. A great collaboration, with a hire made in record time! It was urgent and needed a quick response over the summer, as the position was vacant.
A strategic executive committee hire, for a role where our last 2 hires had not worked out. We hired our new CPO, who within a few months reorganised the team and delivered tangible results. The profile fully meets the expectations of the team and the executive committee for growing the company.
