Licorn — Rethinking how candidates and companies connect
Licorn is a new approach to recruitment that flips the usual dynamic: instead of applicants applying to posted roles, employers search for people who already state what they want. The goal is to make job-seeking less time-consuming and hiring more efficient by matching expectations up front.
How the match process works
Candidates create a profile that acts like a ready-made CV. They specify their conditions — for example salary range, willingness to work remotely, and preferred locations — and then wait for interested recruiters to reach out. Employers can only contact candidates whose stated requirements exactly match the employer’s criteria, which puts transparency at the center of each contact.
Benefits for people looking for work
- Build a professional profile in minutes and have it visible to hiring teams without submitting applications.
- Choose the exact mix of compensation, location, and remote flexibility you want.
- Stay discoverable by recruiters without repeatedly searching and applying for roles.
Advantages for hiring teams
- Access a searchable, anonymized pool of candidates at no upfront cost.
- View applicant expectations in advance, making shortlists more accurate.
- Reduce reliance on job postings and resume screening and only pay a fee when a hire is completed, with fees starting from 1% of the yearly gross salary.
