The bands are wide because, inevitably, there are differences depending on the industry, location, level of applicant experience and life stage of the organisation. We can provide more forensic data by industry on a case by case basis. And, we have also recently published a salary and contract rates guide for Data and Analytics roles.
We have a network of talented contractors who we know have delivered in previous projects, have already been assessed and interviewed by us, and who are guaranteed to make a positive, immediate impact. This case study shows how we have supported one of our clients since 2019 as they continue on their digital transformation journey.
Our network spans various industry sectors, including media outlets, media agencies, consultancies, e-commerce, retail, non-profits, technology and many others.
It covers all levels of seniority, experience and roles needed to staff an end-to-end project - from building requirements and scoping to testing and handover.
If you're interested in talking to us about our network and how we can support your project, get in touch with David Pynor, our Head of Data & Technology.
This is a fast-pased industry! Methods, technology and goals change constantly, equipping our contractor and candidate networks with new skills, experience and qualifications all the time.
If you work in any of the fields listed in our salary guide, get in touch and register with us so that we have your details for new opportunities that come up - we don't always advertise them.
And, if you've already spoken to us before, but things have changed, keep us updated. Get in touch with one of our Data & Technology team to discuss your career goals.
Salary bandings may vary according to which technology is being used. We can provide accuratebandsfor a specific technology, ERP or Finance System on request.
