The Evolution of the Data Scientist Role
Thursday, March 23, at 10:00am PT / 1:00pm ET
In the years since data scientist was declared the sexiest job, the role has evolved. As happens with any job, hiring managers have been adjusting their expectations for candidates, and executives are defining the role of this scientist in ways that meet the needs of their organizations.
Many organizations have abandoned the "unicorn" concept, which imposed so many technical and business requirements on the "ideal candidate" that said candidate could have been hired as a god. Some organizations are casting two people — one with strong business skills and one with deep technical skills — as a data science team. Others have created internal training programs, to build technical skills in business managers and business skills in technologists.
John Reed, senior executive director for recruiting firm Robert Half Technology, has been monitoring the data scientist job market, and will be discussing the changes that he has seen in this role. Join us at 1 pm (ET) on Thursday, March 23, to hear Reed’s insights into: - What employers are looking for
- How data scientists fit into an organization
- What data scientists can expect to earn
Whether you are a data scientist in your own right, striving to become one, or working to hire one, tune in to our interview with John Reed to learn more about the evolution of the data scientist role.
