CHALLENGE
Spatially Health needed highly specialized professionals for their projects, specifically developers with data engineering experience. They sought
our Staff Augmentation Service to address this need.
For the project, we opened two distinct types of vacancies:
• Positions focused purely on data science.
• Programming roles with a strong emphasis
on data engineering expertise.
The second type of vacancy significantly narrowed the pool of candidates and demanded higher expertise from recruiters. To fulfill this specific request, our hiring team had to grasp the nuances of the specialty and effectively align data engineering experience with project requirements. This precision is crucial to upholding candidates' high quality and suitability for these technical roles, ensuring that only relevant candidates progress to the last interview stages.
GOAL
The positions required included:
Big Data Engineer
Senior Data Scientist
Senior Node.js Developer with Data Engineering experience
Senior Python Developer with Data Engineering experience
On-demand staffing of a continuously growing data engineering team with long-term commitment.
SOLUTION
To effectively address Spatially Health's staffing requirements, we began by conducting a thorough analysis to identify the specific skill sets needed for their innovative platform EQUITY EQUALIZER™. This initial phase involved determining an optimal number of positions and developing a comprehensive roadmap for scaling their data engineering team. We started with
a matching expectations call where the recruitment team got
a clear understanding of the project's objectives
and requirements:
Main Skill Set Requirement:
nice to have DevOps and data engineering experience (for development positions), but it’s a must for Data Engineering positions
Cultural Fit:
analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills
The model we have used enabled Spatially Health to remain agile and ready to expand or downsize the team depending on external and internal business needs.
