Testimonials
They trusted the Licorne Society team with their Tech hiring
We turned to Licorne Society during our technology transformation, during which we needed to recruit new TECH skills across several areas: Product, Delivery, QA, Engineering. Not only were they highly responsive, they also put forward the candidates who best matched the brief. Of the 4 firms we worked with, Licorne Society had the highest success rate. Well done!
We wanted to recruit a senior tech profile, a key hire for the development of our startup. Working with Licorne Society saved us valuable time on screening and initial calls with candidates. André fully understood our needs and our mindset, and only put forward highly relevant candidates. Having support on this was a huge operational relief.
Recruitment of hybrid Data Scientist / Data Analyst / Analytics Engineer profiles, with a solid technical background and genuine business experience in Operations (Supply Chain, Logistics, Manufacturing...). We were offered very strong profiles, from top schools, with relevant experience. Pre-screening and process follow-up were spot on. We successfully closed several hires within a few months.
