Hiring in Analytics and Improving Data Literacy with Tim Freestone - Ep. 40

A company’s success directly correlates with its people which is why employers and HR/talent acquisition personnel are constantly improving how they find, hire, and retain the best candidates. Data analytics plays a major role in this process.

In this episode of The Analytic Mind Podcast, Sam McKay is joined by Tim Freestone, founder of Alooba, to talk about hiring in analytics and data literacy.

From the big issues with CVs, and interviews, where companies typically go wrong to future trends in hiring and improving data literacy.

Tim Freestone has spent his career in analytics, starting initially as a financial analyst.
