How to Write a Job Description for a Data Scientist Role

โ€‹Writing an accurate, concise job description for a Data Scientist role is a vital part of attracting the best candidates for the position, while sharing relevant information about the role on offer. Job descriptions not only assist hiring managers and HR teams to find top talent, but also helps them to compete against other leading employers for the attention of experienced professionals considering new roles. On the other hand, poor job descriptions can have the opposite effect, attracting the wrong or unqualified applicants, or even no applicants at all. When a job description fails to adequately communicate the expectations and requirements of the role, it can lead to a pool of candidates who are unqualified and may discourage qualified professionals from applying too. In this article, we will explore the process of writing a job description for a Data Scientist position that attracts the highest quality candidates.Writing a Data Scientist job description A job description should provide interested candidates with all the information they need to know about a vacant role. The key elements to include in a Data Scientist job description are:The official job title โ€“ With the growth of data teams, itโ€™s important to highlight the specific role youโ€™re looking for, whether thatโ€™s a Data Scientist, Data Analyst or Data Engineer. The purpose of the role and key responsibilities โ€“ Data Scientists are in high demand across a vast range of industries, so what makes this role different? Bear in mind that many experienced professionals are looking for a job with meaning and a purpose that aligns with their values.

The working hours and work location โ€“ If flexible working hours or remote working opportunities are available, this should be outlined clearly. Information about the company.Including this information ensures that your job description attracts positive attention without leaving candidates with unanswered questions about the nature of the role being offered.Main responsibilities of a Data ScientistResponsibilities vary by industry and the size of the data team in question, so accurately defining the responsibilities of an open role assists hiring managers in locating candidates who are best suited to the open position. However, the most common job responsibilities for Data Scientists include:Identifying and utilizing external and internal data sources to enhance business outcomesDesigning tools that improve data mining, data analysis, and validationDesigning and utilizing algorithms and data models to structure data setsDeveloping tools and models of testing that ensure the accuracy of dataPresenting reports of key findings, solutions, and future recommendationsCollaborating with co-workers across departments to maximize productivity and positive outcomesWhen summarizing the main responsibilities within a job description, itโ€™s also important to consider what matters most to potential candidates and highlight the responsibilities and projects that will capture professionalsโ€™ interest. The testimonial below highlights how an accurate and interesting job description can showcase to potential hires the projects they may be involved in and help to attract the right candidates:โ€œI was very interested in the NLP work that Glocomms sent over to me. It is rare to have so much impact on the NLP lifecycle at a large company โ€“ but working for this innovative group allowed me to have that technical roadmap.โ€ - Data ScientistImportant skills and qualifications required for a senior positionSenior Data Scientists are more deeply involved in long-term data driven projects and team management roles.Senior positions often require a bachelorโ€™s degree in data science, statistics, computer science or relevant fields, at least three years of experience in similar roles, and proven abilities in tasks such as preparing unstructured data, leading machine learning and modeling projects, and using SQL and Python for data science applications. Successful candidates also need hard skills like advanced knowledge of data preparation, analysis and cleaning, and experience in using scripting and programming languages like Python, Java, and C++.In addition to technical expertise and experience, soft skills are valuable for Data Scientists, particularly in senior positions.

Empowering Women in Technology: How to Hire More Women in Tech

โ€‹While women are gaining an ever-strong standing in the Technology workforce, more work is needed to ensure that they enjoy equal opportunity, compensation, and career growth opportunities. According to Deloitte's Women @ Work: A Global Outlook report, while women are becoming better represented in the sector, they still experience non-inclusive behaviors, with 44% of respondents noting that they experienced micro-aggressions or harassment in the workplace in 2023. In this article, we will explore how Tech organizations can empower women, improve their hiring strategies to include more female talent where available, and create a workplace culture that nurtures and supports women in Tech.The importance of diversity in the workplaceDiverse and inclusive workplaces build high-performing teams and motivated, goal-oriented individuals. Todayโ€™s candidates also prioritize and seek out diverse workforces in which they will be accepted, supported, and provided with sufficient growth and development opportunities.Creating a diverse workplace that includes women in the Tech industry will help to create stronger problem-solving approaches and bring new and innovative ideas to your organization.Eliminate unconscious bias in role descriptionsAn important, but often overlooked, factor that contributes to biases in the hiring process is unconscious bias in job titles and role descriptions. Unconscious bias perpetuates assumptions and stereotypes of certain genders, ethnicities, races, ages, and social classes, among other factors. Ensure that you re-frame role descriptions that contain any outdated or gender-biased language to create space for diversity in your hiring process. Use gender neutral pronouns, check your descriptions for biased language, and avoid presenting a โ€˜toxicโ€™ or gender-prejudiced work culture during interviews and communications with applicants.Involve female employees throughout the hiring processWhere possible, introducing your female candidates to current female employees during the hiring and interview processes will assist you in portraying your organization as a diverse and inclusive one. It may also help to improve the hiring experience for female candidates and could help you to attract referrals in the future. Promote family-friendly policiesAccording to Deloitte, women bear the largest responsibility for household tasks. While 88% of the respondents worked full time, almost half of the women polled by Deloitte were also primarily responsible for household tasks such as cooking, cleaning, shopping, or providing care for dependents.Including flexible and family-friendly policies in your hiring process can help to create a more supportive and inclusive work environment for women in the tech industry. Over half of women have noted that working from home has made them more productive, and offering remote working policies could assist your talent in striking a healthier and more sustainable work-life balance while driving your organization forward.Highlight learning and development opportunitiesCareer development is a leading priority for women in tech. Your organizationโ€™s learning and development opportunities and upskilling programs should be highlighted in role descriptions and throughout the hiring process to attract more valuable female candidates.Providing clear pathways for advancement and promoting a culture that values skill development also demonstrates that your company values the career progression and long-term success of its employees. Retaining your workforceOnce you have built a more diverse and inclusive workforce, itโ€™s important to focus on retaining your diverse spectrum of talent. Some of the most significant challenges in retaining talent in the technology industry include a lack of advancement opportunities and a poor work-life balance. To address these concerns, ensure that you provide sufficient career development opportunities and actively promote equal opportunities for advancement into leadership roles for all employees, including women. Additionally, promoting work-life balance through flexible working arrangements and a supportive company culture can help create an environment where current employees feel supported. Find diverse talent with GlocommsGlocomms specializes in assisting technology organizations to secure leading talent for their open roles.

How to Switch Industries as a Data Scientist

Data plays an integral part in almost all the technology that we use on a daily basis, whilst also enabling tech professionals to do their jobs. Skilled data professionals have never been in higher demand, and they therefore have the opportunity to work for a wide range of organizations across a variety of sectors, from banking and finance to business and government.For those data scientists looking for a new opportunity and wondering how to switch industries, the answer is almost certainly that itโ€™s much easier than you might think.Why do professionals consider switching industries?40% of the data professionals who participated in our survey are looking for a new career opportunity. Just over a third cited a lack of learning and development as a top factor for wanting to seek new opportunities โ€“ย a much higher proportion than in any other sector that we surveyed. Feeling either unchallenged or bored within their role fell closely behind a lack of learning and development as a reason to look for new opportunities. Quite often, what data scientists want most from their jobs can be found in other industries. Switching roles to work in Financial Services makes sense if you wish to earn a higher salary, for example: senior data scientists earn an impressive average salary of $127,000 in the finance industry. For those wanting to make a difference in society with their data expertise, considering a role in Life Sciences can be a good option, as you have the opportunity to impact whether a new life-saving product reaches the market. As with all of the other sectors included in our Tech Industry Report, higher compensation is the most important deciding factor for data professionals, with most data scientists looking for a 20%+ increase in pay. A desire for higher pay has served as another key reason for professionals across a wide range of industries to leave their jobs and consider switching industries. Flexible working and the option to work from home is very important to almost all of our data respondents. 48% of them said that they would leave their current role or reject a new offer if it were a full-time office role.Define your next stepIf youโ€™re thinking about how to change industries as a data scientist, your first step should be to ask yourself about the type of work that you most enjoy and the various industries that you find particularly interesting and inspiring.Itโ€™s also worth taking the time to research the market conditions of various industries. If there is a particularly high demand for data scientists with your skill set in certain sectors, you may have a strong hand when it comes to negotiating a high salary.

The Evolution of Big Data Recruitment

Discover 5 tips on how big data recruitment can help attract & retain talent. A shortage of talent in data means itโ€™s never been more important for hiring managers and HR to understand how to attract, and just as importantly, retain their talent. According to Agni Ghosh, Vice President of Data at Glocomms USA, while data has always been part of tech, it is now its own beast, and deserves recognition and in turn, creative recruitment strategies to fill the vacant roles that the sector is experiencing in abundance. Here, Agni shares five quick tips on adapting and retaining data talent for businesses and those hiring. Understanding the growth of big data analytics in recruitment Itโ€™s important to recognize just how much of a boom this area of technology has seen. Itโ€™s evolved massively and data skills are now very much sought across a number of industries and sectors that just a few years ago probably hadnโ€™t even heard of a Data Scientist. Because of this, competition for data talent has never been tougher and therefore clients need to get wise to who they are competing with. Itโ€™s also about staying up-to-date with the latest movers and shakers, and trends. Data specialists are seeing growth in new hot areas, such as AI and machine learning, and may make moves into there as opposed to a more traditional medium, so clients need to realize they too need to embrace and adapt to change. Machine Learning used to be part of Data, and has now become its own space in basically 12 months. Therefore, it is really enticing when attracting talent if you are able to say you are looking into machine learning and there may be opportunities to grow this area; this could help align your company to the big data recruitment agencies. Embracing new backgroundsBecause of this talent shortage, thanks to everyone wanting a piece of the data pool, itโ€™s time for employers to look at different, non-traditional backgrounds for their data dream team. Career paths have changed and people are a lot more open to transferring their skills, and thus employers should be too. We have seen emerging biotech firm data specialists head over to financial quant businesses and vice versa, so we all need to wrap our minds around non-traditional CVs and think about what fresh ideas they could bring to the table. Having an open mindset will also help you beat the competition, and when youโ€™re competing with big banks to big tech, itโ€™s important to embrace and evolve to a talent shortage. Attracting talent earlier We really embrace talent as soon as we can at Glocomms, and hiring managers shouldnโ€™t think any differently. Working with a number of colleges and student organizations, itโ€™s important to identify as soon as we know they are a good candidate, and sometimes that means job offers before someone has barely graduated. We have even seen a candidate get a job offer after being discovered via a research paper they produced at college. Remember, if candidates are getting their name out earlier, as a hiring manager, so should you. Motivations and movements Understanding how hot the market is will help to attract talent, but also discovering the real motivations behind wanting a new job will help to foster a positive working relationship. In terms of retention, it could also make the difference between someone staying and someone going. Flexible working policies and the ability to work from home comes up time and time again as the pandemic has indelibly changed the way we work. It has also made in our opinion, candidates a little more up for risk. Life is too short, and they seem so much more open to different career paths and trying something new. Long gone are the days of boomers staying in one company, and while big names used to help get people through the door, the abundance of start-ups with strong financial credentials has also meant hiring managers can no longer rely on names or reputation. Proof points such as evidence of opportunities to progress, as well as regular pay reviews, internal relocation programs, and training is key. Ultimately people stay for the people as well as the business, so ensuring your managers are fully trained to retain talent as well as possible is also crucial. How big data and recruitment can win talent Compensation is a huge driving factor, and weโ€™re seeing 60% plus in terms of inflation compared to last year. Outside of pay, one of the biggest ways to win talent is offering flexible working. We touched on it earlier, but we are advising clients to add it to their benefits package as the new normal. Otherwise, you will lose this talent and you need to stay competitive with the rest of the market. And, not just in terms of home/hybrid working, but also, can you give job seekers the chance to move elsewhere? If you have relocation opportunities, it could make a difference. For example, the pandemic highlighted the need for many to be close to friends and family, so if a company doesnโ€™t need someone in a big city office five days a week, can the role be based in another, smaller hub? Speed is also of the essence. Counteroffers and competing offers are becoming more common, and especially in terms of the older, more traditional clients such as big banks, time is crucial. A start-up without all those HR hoops and tech tests can move in three days flat. People are moving fast and therefore so should businesses. This is one of the areas we spend time educating clients on the most, and we can help facilitate a faster hiring process for you as your talent partner. If you are a start-up yourself, a big attraction is the lure of being part of something new and special. Ownership is exciting, so being able to offer an equity element in your compensation package helps. This is a bit of a cultural shift, but to attract the new generation of talent, weโ€™d recommend such policies. And, while it isnโ€™t always down to money, we have witnessed a $150,000 sign-on bonus before, and we envision it happening again. Especially if you need to buy people out of shares, stocks and equity, it is something to consider.
