Too Long; Didn't Read
Hiring the right talent for a data science role is challenging, but the answer isn’t to resort to traditional hiring practices. The LinkedIn 2020 Emerging Jobs Report ranks Data Scientist third on its list, with an annual growth rate of 37 percent. IBM predicts that the demand for Data Scientists will soar 28 percent by 2020. The job description should be specific but not too demanding in nature. Take-home tests, real-life data science projects, hackathons, and online AI competitions should be used instead of whiteboard interviews.
