Data professionals always ask me how to navigate the current market, from both sides of fence (hiring and seeking a role).
Here’s my relatively succinct version of a response:
🙇♀️🙇♂️ Candidates
Whilst there are a lot of options out there, you must tread cautiously, read between the lines, and don’t let it get to your head. Ask the right questions when looking for a new role and be transparent with all parties you are dealing with. Maintaining and building good relationships are critical in this market.
🙋♂️🙋♀️ Clients
Make sure you are not falling into the “comparison” trap. Look for potential not perfection, in that candidate you are bringing in. Think about what you could mould when they join your business as a retention strategy. Be weary of time, momentum and keeping that up when hiring. Time kills deals.
