The demand for Data & Analytics experts: Is there a real shortage?

The demand for Data & Analytics experts has sky-rocketed over the last decade, mainly due to the growth in data creation and storage facilities available to organisations. Our clients are increasingly fighting to secure the very best in Data & Analytics expertise, with lots of new and exciting opportunities in the industry. For job seekers, this is undoubtedly a fantastic time, but for our clients recruitment remains challenging due to the shortage of skilled labour in the market.

Here at Coforge, we believe data could be the driving force of a business, with Data & Analytics technologies providing a platform to provide access to the insights hidden within it. We have seen lots of great success stories from clients who have chosen to utilise our Data & Analytics expertise, growing new revenue streams or finding new cost saving opportunities.

The Financial Times (http://on.ft.com/1rt5VQ5) recently forecast that more than 50,000 Data & Analytics jobs are due to be created every year until 2020, but skills training remains low. Qualified Data Engineers, Analysts and Managers are in high demand, with many countries still lacking the required educational platform to train and educate the workforce in these skills.

The demand for Data & Analytics experts: Is there a real shortage?

It is becoming increasingly challenging to find experts in Data & Analytics who can explain and influence their work to a non-technical audience; for example, our new Marketing Executive, is required to have in-depth technical knowledge in order to explain this to our audience and partners.

In order to combat this shortage, Coforge is keen to hire the best and most experienced engineers and architects, in order to offer high quality solutions to our clients and help them negate the tricky conditions affecting the recruitment of Data & Analytics experts.

The skills that we look to employ at Coforge to provide the most comprehensive solutions for our clients include Core Hadoop, Data Security expertise, Data Pipeline Management and Spark experience.

As the Data & Analytics market is still in the early days of growth, we also look for candidates with a wide range of complimentary experience and a willingness to scale up their skillset.
