Data Talent Advisors is a boutique talent advisory and headhunting firm which consists of high- performing and industry-expert headhunters and consultants. Our team is a mix of science and art. As a result, we are able to source talent, nurture leads and secure deals with both client and candidate. We are not generalist recruiters. We specialize mainly in data, analytics and AI and we are truly passionate about our area of expertise. We do what we do best. 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.

An employment agency registers a jobseeker and has the responsibility of placing the jobseeker in a temporary role that has a potential of becoming permanent. When vacancies come about, the employment agency forwards qualified candidates from their pool to the employers based on required experience and qualifications. Oftentimes, employers who are very specific about what they need seek the services of a recruitment agency. A recruitment agency works hand in hand with employers to source, screen and shortlist qualified candidates. The recruitment agency then ensures a perfect match between the clients (employers) and the candidates.

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

No, the fee is not taken out of the employee’s salary, although that is how it is calculated. Employers as our clients pay us directly.

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.

Yes, absolutely. If your company hires on a regular basis, getting stacks of resume per job opening is effortless and normal. But that demands a lot of time for screening, only to find out in the end that half of the applicants are underqualified! In hopes of finding the best candidate, chances are you’d spend or waste even more time in the long run. So, with Data Talent Advisors as your HR sidekick, all you have to do is focus your attention on the most qualified data talent presented and hire the one you prefer.

Absolutely! We offer a 6-month guarantee should the candidate we introduce to you leave, or if you require a replacement. Although, based on our experience, it is unlikely for a “perfect match” or properly screened candidate to leave a position. Behind our clients’ high retention rate is Data Talent Advisor’s efforts in evaluating potential candidates thoroughly and making sure that the candidate is suitable for the role, culture- and skills-wise. We also provide career advisory to our candidates and manage their expectations, so we’re almost certain you won’t need our guarantee.

As we are not only a headhunting firm but also a talent advisory, we do take the time to track the candidate’s career path, potential, motivation and cultural fit. So, normally, you’ll receive a bunch of resumes from us within 4 to 5 business days.
