Questions about hiring data scientists
How much does it cost to hire a Data Scientist through NextPath?+
There is no upfront cost. As a performance-based staffing agency, you pay nothing until your data scientist starts. Final fees depend on the engagement type - contract, contract-to-hire or direct hire - and the seniority of the role.
How quickly can you deliver Data Scientist candidates?+
For most data science searches we deliver a qualified shortlist within 48 hours. Timelines vary with role complexity and interview availability, but our goal is always speed without sacrificing quality.
What skills do you screen Data Scientists for?+
We vet for hands-on experience with statistical analysis, Python or R, SQL, machine learning fundamentals, experimentation and A/B testing, and the ability to communicate findings to non-technical stakeholders.
What kinds of data science projects can your candidates support?+
From churn and demand forecasting to A/B testing, recommendation systems and causal inference - on contract, contract-to-hire or direct-hire terms, on-site, hybrid or remote.
What's the difference between a Data Scientist and a Data Analyst?+
Data Scientists typically build predictive models and run controlled experiments, while Data Analysts focus more on descriptive analysis, reporting and dashboards. We help you define the exact scope and hire the right fit.
