TOMORROW S WORLD Here at Darwin we believe that all future innovations will be firmly rooted in harnessing the tremendous volume of data that makes up today s Big Data world.

4 TOMORROW S WORLD Here at Darwin we believe that all future innovations will be firmly rooted in harnessing the tremendous volume of data that makes up today s Big Data world. With all aspects of technology moving towards AI and Automation, we are truly are living in a golden age of information and every day more businesses are wrangling, taming and putting to work immense stores of data and seeing tangible business value from doing so. Meanwhile, the world is undergoing digital transformation on an unfathomable scale; customers are interacting with these innovations on their desktops, laptops, phones, tablets or even newer iterations of hardware. These interfaces need to be built with efficacy, efficiency and usability in mind; and while many be able to build, not everyone is an architect. Digital transformation is becoming central to the corporate strategy of the majority of enterprises in 2017, and businesses pursuing this will need to exponentially increase the size of their digital teams to keep ahead of the curve, especially in terms of mobile and web development. A key competitive advantage will be enjoyed by those who can secure the vital talent to enable this transformation within their business, as they open up new digital streams of revenue and explore new ways of creating value for their customers. McKinsey predicts that the demand for deep analytical talent could be 40-50% greater than its supply by 2018; and whilst Big Data is on the radar of most if not all businesses, a third of them believe that the biggest obstacle to implementing a sound strategy is the lack of internal skill Today most enterprises are looking beyond their current workforce to expand their analytical capabilities, and the talent gap grows wider every day. In order to ensure innovation, first-in-class data teams need to be built and brought up to speed sooner rather than later. We have seen a huge shift towards data-driven recruitment over the past twelve months (please see page 7) which has enabled us to optimise our search and selection process both from the passive and active markets. The operations team have invested into their own analytics workforce, enabling them to gain deeper insights from our advertising campaigns, day-to-day activity and candidate client engagement. Sources: McKinsey Big Data: The next frontier for innovation, competition and productivity Wipro: Reaping the rewards of Big Data IDC FutureScape: Worldwide Digital Transformation Armed with these insights and in response to the dynamism in the market, the internal team also identifies growing talent gaps within the industry and feeds this back to the recruitment consultants. We take this opportunity to begin engaging with the to-be-in-demand candidates long before our clients even provide us with requirements. More often than not; as soon as the demand is there, our network is already built and we are able to provide a swift and expert service. Our clients benefit from this early market knowledge (from the recruitment perspective) as well as first access to the candidates before most other businesses catch onto the emerging trend. We ve found that, as leaders in Digital and Data recruitment in Europe and the USA, we re able to Futureproof ourselves and our clients simultaneously; often advising them on the skills they need to hire before they know they need to hire them. 3

RECRUITING IN THE In today s increasingly candidate short market, it is impossible to

be interviewing with another organisation.

10 RECRUITING IN THE In today s increasingly candidate short market, it is impossible to attract the talent your business needs by simply posting an advert on a selection of job boards. By sourcing solely in the active market, the chances are that anyone you find will already be interviewing with another organisation. The only way to successfully target a passive audience is to ensure that you have extensive online networks and access to a historical database of skilled professionals.
