We brought in Licorne Society during our technology transformation, when we needed to hire new tech talent across several areas: Product, Delivery, QA and Engineering. Not only were they very 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. Great work!

Throughout the process, I also saw that candidates were well looked after, with excellent follow-up from the agency.

The CTO role was by far our most strategic hire: in MedTech, the person in charge of technology also answers for the reliability of the product and the trust of clinicians. We could not afford to get it wrong. Licorne Society understood that, presented strong and relevant candidates, and ran the search with complete discretion. They kept us updated all the way to the signed offer. We are very happy with our new CTO.

We worked with Licorne Society on a hire, and so far the experience has been very positive! How they work: they are responsive and adapt to the way we do things.

Answers and progress updates came quickly, with plenty of flexibility when our initial brief changed. What they deliver: they take the time upfront to really understand the brief and what makes the profile specific, rather than just sending CVs. The candidates were relevant, and follow-up was regular and proactive throughout the process. I also appreciated how open they are to feedback, with a real willingness to adjust along the way, from kick-off to the end of the project. Smooth, responsive, high-quality work. I recommend them without hesitation!
