Why Dataspace
Why We’re One of the Top Data Science Recruiters in the U.S.
Have you been burnt before by trusting a general-purpose recruiting and staffing firm for your data science hiring or contracting needs?
Even big-name firms with technical staffing arms can come up short when sourcing qualified data and analytics professionals. The reason is simple—recruiters and screeners at typical recruiting firms are not well-versed in the nuances of data science, data engineering, and data analytics—these are highly-complex fields of study that demand deep, technical knowledge. Our unique approach to data science hiring means you get the best fits for your data-focused roles.
How Dataspace compares to typical recruiters.
Our data and analytics background makes all the difference as to why we are a top data science recruiter. While our rates are comparable to general-purpose recruiting firms, you’ll get better candidates and spend less time on the hiring process when you work with Dataspace.
Typical: You get a “stack” of resumes, automatically selected via AI because they contain keywords that match the job description. It’s left to you to choose which candidate makes it to the next step.
Dataspace: Keyword matching is just the start. Every resume we receive is reviewed by a knowledgable recruiter. Promising candidates then go through two more levels of screening, including a final interview with a data expert. Only 1 – 2% of the applicants we interview make it through the screening process to be offered for consideration by our clients.
Typical: Recruitment agencies usually charge a 20 – 25% commission on hire, sometimes with additional fees and/or retainers.
Dataspace: Depending on your needs and budget, you have the option to engage our full-service recruitment at a set hourly rate—no commission or contingency fees, no retainer. And you can cap your weekly hours as you see fit. You’ll save 50 – 75% compared to a typical agency.
Typical: Data contractor candidates are sourced and reviewed by people who are career recruiters.
Dataspace: Candidates are vetted by people who work in data and analytics—who are up-to-date on and actually use the tools and techniques required.
Typical: You’ll get resumes for potential candidates, and that’s pretty much it.
Dataspace: Each resume is accompanied with a detailed assessment that rates the applicant’s skills against your needs and evaluates their career motivations and likely fit.
Typical: The standard contingency pay model means recruiters are in competition with your internal HR team to make the hire. There’s little incentive for collaboration.
Dataspace: We are happy to work closely with your in-house team, complementing your efforts where you need it. For example, if you already have plenty of applicants for role, we can handle the technical screening and assessment, easing the workload for your recruiters.
Typical: If you are filling the positions on your own, be prepared to invest at least 40 hours per job. With a typical agency, you’ll still do the bulk of the work filtering through all those unqualified applicants.
Dataspace: You can focus on other things while we do the heavy lifting to fill your position. On average, our clients spend 80% less time on the hiring process. We put about 6 hours of screening into every candidate we submit for your review. (And that doesn’t include hours spent filtering out those who don’t make the cut.)
Typical: Set-it-and-forget-it data hiring—you will have to contact the agency if you need anything.
Dataspace: Both you and your new data team members will get regular check-ins from Dataspace; at day 1, day 30, and periodically thereafter. We want to ensure a good, long-term fit for everyone.
