Staffing

A better approach to delivering business intelligence resources and skill sets.

Dataspace has a long history of delivering the trained experts needed to staff business intelligence and data warehouse projects. Our approach is built on:

  • Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence Specialization: Candidates are screened and tested by professional data warehouse and business intelligence consultants, not by generic IT recruiters.
  • Stringent Filtration: All Dataspace candidates pass through a number of rigorous screens, including an in-person or video interview. In addition to technical skills, we screen for verbal communication, written communication, and initiative – all factors  to required for success in a business environment.  Finally, we also screen for average length of projects in the United States, a criteria traditionally correlated with success on client accounts.  Our filtering process typically eliminates 70% – 80% of all candidates.
  • Agency: We view our role as that of being an active agent representing the interests of our clients.  Therefore, rather than simply sending our resumes, we provide a Dataspace-generated description of each candidate, detailing their relative strengths and weaknesses.
  • Dataspace Candidate Comparator: We understand that it’s difficult to choose between candidates when you’re faced with a number of seemingly equal resumes.  Therefore we have pioneered the development of a tool for objectively comparing multiple candidates – the Dataspace Candidate Comparator.  The comparator is customized for each client and role, measuring the candidate along dimensions important for each, unique situation.  A sample comparator, covering three Informatica developers, appears below:

  • Rapid Response: Dataspace typically provides candidates for most needs in 1 – 2 business days.
  • Guarantee: If, for any reason, a consultant is not a good fit, notify Dataspace within that candidate’s first week of work. That consultant will be removed from the project and you will not be billed for the time.
  • Support: Dataspace maintains frequent contact with every consultant and customer, ensuring that expectations are understood and met.
  • Full Stack Coverage: We provide staff in all major business intelligence and data warehousing products and techniques.  Click below for a list of typical technologies.

Customer Comments

Natalie is doing a great job for us.  She has moved right through many of the harder reports and has brought up a few issues that others had missed.  It has been a great experience for me and for the company, I do appreciate the work she has done for us. — Food Service Client
