hire data analysts in africa

Companies hire a data analyst when decisions are piling up and the numbers sit scattered across spreadsheets, apps and systems. A good analyst gives you clean, trusted reports and tells you plainly what the figures mean for sales, costs or operations.

A few questions, one at a time, then pick a time for a 30-minute strategy call with our team.

What to check when screening

  • Ask to see dashboards or reports they built, with sensitive data removed.
  • Test SQL and Excel with a small, realistic dataset.
  • Check which visualisation tool they know, such as Power BI or Tableau.
  • Look at how clearly they explain a result to someone who is not technical.

Questions to ask in interview

  • How do you check that a dataset is reliable before you build a report on it?
  • Tell me about an analysis that changed a decision. What did you find?
  • How would you explain a drop in monthly sales to a manager with five minutes to spare?

Skills to look for

  • Advanced Excel
  • SQL
  • Power BI or Tableau
  • Python or R
  • Data cleaning
  • Data visualisation
