Frequently Asked Question



Data Talent Advisors also has a unique fusion of extensive experience and large global connection in the Big Data & Analytics network which we optimize to build a talent pipeline and continue delivering top quality candidates to our clients.

No, our services are totally free for candidates. Recruitment agencies are paid by clients.


The truth is that, the cost of hiring a candidate often exceeds the salary, especially if it’s a bad hire. The salary is easy to calculate, but the non-wage overheads are pretty shifty. And that is the thin edge of the wedge.

 

HR staff, hiring managers and decision-makers alike in big companies repeatedly spend their precious resources for every job opening, advertisement, screening, initial and final interview, and background/reference verification. For small companies or startups whose employees are usually time-constrained, in-house recruiting is not a very wise investment of resources as it only takes so much of their valuable work time away, ultimately affecting the business.

 

This is when a dedicated headhunting partner comes in handy. Data Talent Advisors delivers exceptional candidates – screened, shortlisted, interviewed, guaranteed – for a price that saves you over 50% over the traditional recruiting fees.
