S2E2: An inside look at the Data Analytics team hiring process
content
Data analysts help the company take action based on numbers. Besides a technical test, how can you best communicate your skills to a hiring manager and recruiter? Triston Cossette, director of analytics, and Steve Rose, senior tech recruiter, walk us through the interview process for data analyst roles and drop hints on how to ace the interview.
On this episode of Talented, our guests take listeners through the technical and soft skills that a candidate needs to shine in an interview and separate themselves from their resume. The key here is business acumen and good communication. Yes, you have to nail the technical test execution, but analytics roles require looking at a business problem, solving it, and explaining those solutions to non-technical people.
As a recruiter who does the first screening and walks the candidate throughout the entire experience, Steve uses his air time to answer commonly asked applicant questions. He reveals the three key things he looks for in a screening.
The hiring manager and recruiter also give us a candid look inside their working relationship and how they synergize to bring the best possible candidates on board. Triston and Steve speak about how their hiring process has laid the groundwork for a strong team. Learn how their collaborative approach has contributed to the historically low turnover in our engineering and data product teams.
