It's easy to list a skill or qualification on a CV, but how can you test whether the candidate really has the know-how? There are certain key skills that people hiring data analysts and data engineers always need. For example: For Analysts: - Ability to use tools to visualise data - Communication - listening, understanding, explaining, presenting - Producing the right queries to get the right insights For Engineers: - Data pipeline generation & optimisation - Excellent programming & coding - Building, maintaining and managing data warehouses In the interview process, it's essential to ask questions designed to test these skills. Using real examples from your business is a good way of seeing whether candidates are able to relate their experience back to your vacancy. We can advise on interview techniques and questions designed to separate the so-so candidates from the exceptional talent that you need in your team. There are a few more suggestions in here https://lnkd.in/gCSi-dBJ Talk to David Pynor for more expert advice on what skills to look for... and, how to identify them. #dataanalyst #dataengineer #datajobs #datarecruitment

If you're looking for work, it's important to make sure recruitment agencies are up to date with your work experience. Even if you've previously registered with an agency, it's a good idea to re-register when you have new experience or qualifications on your CV. More so if you're a contractor who often changes role. A recruiter with the most recent version of your experience on your CV is more likely to contact you with opportunities that are suitable, for example - at the right seniority and salary level - in your preferred location - requiring your skill set - that build on your most recent experience - take into account personal circumstances and working environment We have lots of jobs at the moment in our Non-Profit Finance and Data & Technology practices.
