Finding the right data expert, the first time

With a legacy spanning a century, this insurance company is on a mission to make New Zealand one of the healthiest nations globally.

Their vision is centred around guiding customers towards healthier lifestyles, one step at a time. They offer a comprehensive range of insurance products tailored for Kiwis.

The Challenge

The insurer aimed to expand their existing team to include a skilled data science manager, one who could navigate the tech landscape and translate it into real business value.

However, this is easier said than done, with challenges of picking the right candidate and the high costs of making the wrong choice. Our client needed confidence that the candidates had the technical and commercial capabilities for the role, and reached out to Data Insight to support this crucial step in the recruitment process.

Our Approach

  1. Creating the right test for the right role: We began by collaborating with the client to blend the roles’ requirements, the company’s culture, and our proven candidate testing capabilities into a tailored testing environment that would give our client the insights they needed to make a hiring decision.
  2. Finding the Perfect Fit: Armed with our candidate profile and a tailored recruitment process, we made the hiring process a breeze. Our in-house hiring professionals led the interview with the candidates and provided feedback and recommendations after each candidate. This gave our client the confidence to make sure they were making the right call, and ensured they found a perfect match for their team.
