How to fail the Data Science business case
2. Recruiting as quick-fix — “I am looking to recruit 150 Data Scientists in the next 12 months”. I am not kidding: I did get that phone call, and it was about recruiting ‘Data-Scientists-as-consultants’. Yes, expertise matters. Yes, there is a shortage of talent. And, yes, as companies struggle to build up data science capabilities they likely will be keen on consultancy services. However, the shortage of experts is real. Moreover, a senior data scientist likely prefers building products over project work, and impact with customers over project management meetings. Overall, I have seen quite a few attempts at using recruiting-as-a-fix, often failing at implementation already, either because of an unrealistic ‘unicorn’ wishlist or because the case couldn’t be made as to why an experienced Data Scientists should join the company. Moreover, Data Scientists frequently report that they are interviewed by non-experts.
