Question 1

Data quality & maturity

Accepted Answer

The race for AI is creating an urgency for companies to bolster data engineering capabilities. Through a data maturity assessment (DMA), Lumenalta evaluates your organization’s current state and tailors strategies to address specific needs that move the needle.

Question 2

What is a typical interview process and timeline?

Accepted Answer

Upon completion of your application, our team will thoroughly review your profile. If deemed eligible based on the provided information, you will be directed to either undergo a technical test or to participate in a first interview. The order of these two options may vary, but both must be successfully completed before advancing in the process.

Next, a recruitment manager will assess your profile, paving the way for your second interview with a technical expert in your applied area. If accepted, candidates can either be hired directly onto a client project, or be placed in our database as an “Active Relationship” until a new client need arises.

Please note that the timeline from application to project placement can span between 2 to 8 months, contingent upon the availability of roles.

This empowers clients to move quickly and in the right direction without prolonging the problem.
