Marteq's insight:
With business, communication and flexibility skills embedded into the Data Scientist, and the Marketer taking on more of an analytical role, which would you hire?

Digest... So how do you find and hire these newly essential employees? Not easily, according to data scientists Max Song and Carl Shan, who are working on a Data Science Handbook, and have published 120 Data Science Interview Questions.
Roughly 140,000 people are employed as data scientists right now, but by 2018, we’ll need 440,000 to 490,000, according to that report. The shortfall is due to the fact that this job is so new there’s not a direct educational equivalent, or an obvious career path. There’s no data science major in college, with the closest equivalent being perhaps a rare statistics major. But data scientists also need a firm grounding in computer science.
Employers and recruiters need to broaden their search to people who may not have the title of data scientist, and may have followed diverse educational and career paths.

Marteq's insight:
It'll be more than 500K data scientists needed, as more technology will drive the need beyond what we can see today. Tough to find and hire today: the skills are there but spread across multiple individuals.

Called the sexiest job of the 21st century by Harvard Business Review, the rise of Big Data has fueled demand for data scientists.
Marteq's insight:
Depending on the size of your organization, you're going to need one of these.
