Find the analytics experience needed to turn your data into trusted reporting, clear measures and useful business decisions.

Start with the decisions reporting must support
Describe the people using the reports, the questions they need answered and where existing information is unreliable. A request for a dashboard can hide missing data ownership, inconsistent definitions or a pipeline problem. Clarify the source of the difficulty before deciding which specialist to hire.
Distinguish analysis from data engineering
A Power BI specialist may develop semantic models, measures and reports. An analyst may frame business questions and interpret evidence. A data engineer may be needed when source integration and data reliability are the main gaps. These responsibilities can overlap, but the brief should explain where the person will receive support.
Ask for evidence of trusted reporting
Invite the specialist to describe a disagreement about a metric or a report that produced unexpected results. How did they trace the issue, agree definitions and explain the impact to users? Discuss modelling, access and maintainability alongside visual presentation. Attractive charts alone do not demonstrate dependable analysis.
Connect analytics to your wider AI foundations
Clear definitions, reliable data and accountable ownership help teams evaluate whether an AI use case has useful inputs and meaningful outcomes. Do not turn every reporting role into an AI engineering vacancy. Explain the interfaces with your data and AI teams, and hire for the actual responsibilities. Theseus helps focus that requirement on relevant specialist experience.
For each engagement, clarify the scope, duration, working arrangements, agreed services and client dependencies. Plan access and handover so the knowledge gained stays with your team. Theseus focuses on UK resourcing and considers European and international requirements individually.
