The client engaged our services after experiencing a prolonged challenge in sourcing a suitable candidate for a critical role. Over a four-month period, internal efforts to identify a highly qualified professional with both technical expertise and a strong academic background were unsuccessful. The urgency of the role, coupled with the need to review a substantial number of potential candidates, prompted the decision to partner with our agency to expand the talent pool.

  • Deep understanding of working with big data and analytics platforms (Hadoop, Spark, SQL, Python)
  • A higher education degree in mathematics, statistics, computer science, or a related discipline

We began by actively researching speakers from leading specialized data analytics courses.
Additionally, we explored professional conferences and seminars in the data field, which allowed us to compile a rare selection of specialists who were difficult to find through open sources.
Result
