LICA SCIENTIFIC LIMITED

LiCa Scientific specialises in chemistry and life science roles from bench up to board level

Recruitment of CTO

We operate with a strong network of candidates to begin with so are always in '2nd gear' for any projects such as this.

Our method was to first of all get the market understood and interested so we researched our network and beyond using a variety of candidate identification means.

This lead to interested parties in a diverse range of countries and we interviewed and selected a shortlist of candidates from here. The timeline from start-to-offer was short by standards of a headhunting agency, but long by standards of LiCa in 2 months (we aim for 3 weeks in more junior roles).

Our client was very satisfied with our work not least because another such headhunting agency had tried and failed on this exact project.

"We engaged LiCa Scientific to find our Chief Technology Officer, having utilised them successfully in hiring PhD Chemists into our business on several occasions. LiCa Scientific efficiently introduced strong candidates both from their network and also following their extensive wider searches on our behalf. We interviewed three strong prospects the following month and secured our favoured CTO candidate for the post who has since started. We found LiCa Scientific brought expert understanding of our CTO role and also a commitment to understand our business and needs, using this understanding to be effective in matching candidate prospects for our consideration, and adding efficiency to this process. We would recommend LiCa Scientific for recruitment of senior scientific roles such as this.” CEO - Chemical Technology Multinational in March 2018
