Beating The BIG DATA Challenge !

Big Data Analytics is now need of the hour, Companies firmly believe that decision making could be more scientific and realistic by real time data analysis, which has created a huge demand for big data professionals in the talent market where as the supply of analytic talent in India is insufficient to meet requirements, resulting into a major challenge for recruiters. Here, will discuss about skills and resources to recruit analytic professionals with ease and speed.

Skills Required- What I have observed while hiring analytics professionals, is a combination of Mathematics/Statistics, Coding, Algorithms and Machine Learning makes a good analytics professional. whereas depending on the various needs the JD could be developed to satisfy the requirements.

Sources- The traditional job portals have been proved insufficient to hire Big Data Analytics Professional as we don't get enough number of candidates with relevant skill sets there. Social media could be a great help in hiring, being a professional networking site LinkedIn,Techgig and Hasgeek could be helpful in talent search. People working on Hadoop ,Mahout ,NLP, Machine Learning, Algorithms, Statistics and Analytics could be found in different groups to fetch out the most relevant profiles of Big Data Professionals. If we talk about various job portals we may try techgig.com, analytictalent.com, analyticsindiajobs.com, hirist.com, iimjobs.com, hasjobs.com, glassdoor.com, monster.com etc. for hiring Analytics Professionals.

Industry Mapping- Big Data Analytics is a developing industry and maximum companies in the industry are start-ups, if we talk about few significant startups; InnovAccer, Indix, Crayon Data, Flutura, Axtria, Flytxt, Ideal Analytics, Sapience Analytics, Guavus, Latentview are few to name. Some established organizations are Mu-sigma, Inductis, EXL Services, Evalueserve,Fractal, Absolutdata, Opera solutions, WNS analytics, Symphony Teleca, IBM Analytics, Cognizant Analytics, Dell Analytics, Deloitte Analytics etc almost 70 to 80 companies are there which are in to core data analytics.

Geographies- Maximum companies in the space of analytics are there in Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad Delhi NCR and Kolkata .

Colleges- Mainly IIT's, NIT's, BITs, BITS, VIT, few colleges from UPTU and other top-notch technology Institutions in the Country. As the technology is new, its spreading in India so other colleges are gradually including in their curriculum .
