The Care and Feeding of Data Scientists: Recruiting and Hiring Data Scientists

This week’s episode is the second in a three-part interview series with Michelangelo D’Agostino, VP of Data Science at Shoprunner. This discussion centers on building a team, which means recruiting, interviewing and hiring data scientists. Since data science talent is in such high demand, and data scientists are understandably choosy about where they go to work, a good recruiting and hiring program can have a big impact on the size and quality of the team. Our chat covers much a couple of sections in our dual-authored O’Reilly report, “The Care and Feeding of Data Scientists,” which you can read at the link below. https://oreilly-ds-report.s3.amazonaws.com/Care_and_Feeding_of_Data_Scientists.pdf
