Analytics engineerThe work. The person. The fit.

Create consistent metrics and understandable analytical models.

01 / START WITH THE WORK

The work behind the job title.

Create consistent metrics and understandable analytical models.

Agree the reporting line, working arrangement, scope and first priorities. This gives candidates a concrete picture of the opportunity and gives interviewers a shared basis for their decision.

02 / LOOK FOR EVIDENCE

Better questions. Better signals.

A USEFUL STARTING POINT

Model a revenue metric and explain reconciliation and source freshness.

Keep the exercise proportionate and tell the candidate what you are assessing. Ask about their reasoning, constraints and alternatives. Record evidence against agreed criteria before the interview panel compares impressions.

BUILD AN INTERVIEW SCORECARD

Decide what counts before you meet anyone.

03 / JUDGEMENT OVER ASSUMPTIONS

Keep the decision grounded.

Resolve competing definitions before optimising a dashboard.

Separate missing evidence from negative evidence. A follow-up question may resolve uncertainty more fairly than an assumption. Keep the same core criteria across candidates while allowing different experiences to demonstrate the capability.

Agree the criteria, the evidence that would satisfy each one, and who owns the final decision. Write down what would change your mind, so a strong first impression cannot quietly replace the criteria.

04 / MAKE THE NEXT STEP CLEAR

A brief worth sharing.

Before starting, capture the role purpose, expected outcomes, rate or salary parameters, working location and interview owners. Confirm how feedback will be collected and who makes the final decision.
