    Frequently Asked Questions

    FAQ Data & AI Recruitment

    What makes Data & AI recruitment different from regular IT recruitment?

    Data & AI recruitment requires more than searching by job titles. The difference between a Data Analyst, Data Engineer, ML Engineer, AI Engineer and Head of Data is vast. Iduet therefore assesses the technical stack, maturity level, business context and the extent to which a candidate has experience with production environments, governance and stakeholder management.

    Iduet recruits include Data Scientists, Data Engineers, Analytics Engineers, BI specialists, Machine Learning Engineers, AI Engineers, MLOps Engineers, Data Architects, Heads of Data, AI Leads and AI transformation specialists.

    Yes We mediate both permanent Data & AI professionals and interim specialists for temporary projects, capacity pressures, data platform migrations, dashboarding, MLOps, AI product development and AI governance.

    We test candidates on experience with tools and platforms such as Python, SQL, Spark, Databricks, Azure Data Platform, AWS, Google Cloud, MLflow, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Power BI and modern MLOps processes. We also look at model lifecycle, data quality, explainability, security, communication and business impact.

    Iduet has experience within finance, SaaS, consulting, healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, retail, government and scale-ups. The focus is on roles where data and AI directly contribute to better decision making, automation, forecasting, personalization or operational improvement.

    Depending on role and scarcity, we can often present an initial shortlist within 7-15 working days. For interim assignments, this can sometimes be faster, as we actively liaise with experienced independent Data & AI professionals.
