DESCRIPTIONS

What do readers say? "This book represents an essential guide to terminologies and techniques that anyone working in Recruitment, Talent or Human Resources for the Data Science industry should know. I strongly advise anyone who has ever sat, bemused, as Data Scientists try to explain what their work involves - absorb this book in its entirety" - Robin Huggins (Director of Academy & Client Services at MBN Solutions & Data IQ 100 recipient) "I love the concept of this book. Anything to help recruiters be more engaging and understanding of their customers is key to their success" - Alex Moyle (Founder of Recruiting Gym) A.I. is driving an unprecedented demand for Data Scientists For those searching for talent, whether in-house or agency side - this handbook will give you a competitive edge in what is a fast paced, rapidly growing, and highly technical field Author Andrew Jones leans away from mathematical notation and jargon, explaining all the concepts and tools commonly listed on job descriptions and CVs in a lightweight, interesting, and fun manner throughout. The learnings will get you closer to the distinct needs of your clients, and a richer understanding of candidate skill and experience - of course resulting in a boost to your efficiency, but no doubt also causing impressed chirrups from your clients as you freely discuss the difference between Convolutional & Recurrent Neural Networks, TensorFlow & PyTorch, Python & R, and more!
