The leading recruiter for analytics roles in South Africa

The Mission

How does it happen that TSR became the sole recruiting source for the South African office of a global, data analytics and technology solutions company? That they see us as the ‘leading recruiter for analytics roles in South Africa’.  Believe me, we’ve given this some thought and done our research, so we know – it is about connecting with the client, understanding their needs and business strategy, and truly partnering with them to fill skills gaps within their business.

This organisation has a 17-year track record in data science and artificial intelligence and operates across a range of industries, including FMCG, Property, Insurance and Healthcare. They employ proprietary methodologies and platforms to help their clients develop deep insight into the strategic and commercial value of their data.

Challenge and Outcome

The South African operation was established 3 years ago and now employs 20 people, of which, TSR has placed 65% of the current team, the rest having joined the business through global transfers and their own network.  Now, we are not talking about skills that are readily available in the market, their typical, team profile, around the world, includes actuaries, statisticians, data scientists, strategy consultants, software engineers and futurists.

We love working with businesses like this.  They are innovative, driven, cutting edge and client focused.
