The company was looking to digitise their services, but were struggling to find the right people with the right skills to help them move forward.
DST advised on exactly the types of roles needed to to help the company move forward and targeted their job marketing to find the right candidates.

I hope he stays with us until he retires… I can’t thank you enough for finding him for us.”

“You managed to find better/more suitable candidates than any previous recruiters
so we’ll certainly always use you moving forward!”
Clare Kennedy, Associate Statistics Director
A leading healthcare market research company was looking to digitise their services and develop apps to keep up with the competition and customer needs. Previously, the company had been doing their own recruitment but had failed to secure any successful candidates.
They were looking for two team members to join their Data Science team. Each new member would need to have a strong visualisation mindset and the ability to develop apps.
The hiring managers were unclear about exactly what the job roles should be, so DST advised and provided clarity on the strengths, skills and role specification the team needed to push their digitisation forward. This meant that the Hiring Managers could understand the differences in the Data Science field and identify what their main focus should be. Because of DST’s deep understanding of the discipline, they were best-placed to support.
Having done an in-depth analysis of what the roles should look like, DST created specific marketing messaging to engage with the types of candidates that would resonate with the roles.
By strategically targeting the talent pool, this resulted in 350 profiles in the US for the Lead Data Scientist Manager role, and over 350 profiles for the UK-based Statistician Data Scientist role.
In qualifying shortlisted candidates, DST helped to reduce the hiring process time by only submitting the best individuals for interview.
“Really pleased we managed to find someone, I’ve got high hopes for the candidate so
thank you very much for finding her!”
Clare Kennedy, Associate Statistics Director
