Hiring a Freelance Data Analyst

Why and when you need a Data Analyst?

Who is able to identify the business needs and recognize how data science can address them? The Data Analyst or business analyst is a type of consultant whose goal is to improve the results of the company by using data, that is, create a data driven organization.

A data analyst consultant defines the business needs, works together with the business and with data scientists to assess, analyze and define application strategies to achieve an impact, across any area of the organization but usually with a focus on commercial activities to drive revenue, operations to bring costs down and improve service and on quality and innovation.

What is not defined cannot be measured. What is not measured can not be improved. What is not improved, is always degraded. - William Thomson Kelvin

Data analyst use case for an European job search portal

Challenge, Context, Problems to be solved

The commercial director of one of the largest online job search portals in Europe needed help with pricing and product optimization.

The commercial offer was very different as they worked with all types of accounts, for example, staffing companies needing hundreds of CVs a year and SMEs looking for a few profiles only.

Mission, tools and methodology

The data analyst freelancer had to optimize the different prices per CV - cross use of CV with cost for what they paid. And from there the commercial team could work on the proposals they had to offer.

The work was to join 2 separate databases to obtain normalized metrics of the consumption of payments (monthly, quarterly, etc.) resulting in a matrix with 2 axes - CV consumption with costs.

Achieved results

The CV average cost that would have a good competitiveness in the market could be determined. This allowed the company to know the profitability of each client, the commercial workload needed, and adapt their prices and products to different clients.
