It’s no secret that technology is a job rich, candidate short marketplace meaning organisations can be left feeling desperate for great people and great people don’t stick around for long.
Despite the high turnover of candidates and the quest to find them in the first place, clients are not holding back on their requirements for the ideal data scientist.
We surveyed our network to investigate what the ideal data scientist looks like and thought it might help you if you are seeking your next adventure or searching for a data scientist but not sure where to start.
Perhaps surprisingly, the ideal data scientist must have a degree in maths, physics or statistics as well as a masters or PHD in Artificial Intelligence. They will also be known to run their own projects, constantly challenge and upskill themselves and own a resume that screams self-improvement.
Do you agree that a desire for self-improvement is the most attractive quality in a data-scientist or will technical ability always prevail?
