Why enterprise Big Data solutions need the right talent

The skills gap for IT talent with skills in Big Data arises from the rapid growth of data and the evolving technologies and tools used to analyze it. There is a shortage of professionals who possess the necessary expertise in data management, data processing, statistical analysis, and machine learning.
Bridging this gap requires training and upskilling initiatives to equip individuals with the specialized skills needed to handle complex data sets, extract insights, and apply advanced analytics techniques.

Our point of contact at Procom goes above and beyond for our account and is my go-to vendor for market-related questions.

FAQs

Straight answers for smart hires 

Discover the facts about timing, talent, and how we work with you. 

Book a quick discovery call. We’ll define your tech stack, project goals, timeframe, and engagement model, then deliver a shortlist of pre-vetted candidates and handle onboarding end-to-end.

Staffing augments your team with individual experts; consulting supplies outcome-focused teams or leadership. Procom does both: you can hire a single Spark developer or an entire pod—whatever gets you to insight faster.

In the U.S. we follow IRS/DOL guidelines (1099 vs. W-2). In Canada we adhere to CRA and provincial tests for independent contractors. Procom manages worker classification, contracts, and multi-currency payroll to keep you risk-free.

For common skill sets we present qualified candidates within 5-7 business days. Niche combinations (e.g., Spark + Kafka + GCP) may take up to two weeks—still faster than most in-house searches.

  • U.S.: Data Engineers average ≈ US $125K base or US $80-$110/hr.
  • Canada (Ontario example): averages ≈ CA $63/hr (about CA $120K annualized).

Actual numbers vary by city, seniority, and tech stack—ask us for a custom market snapshot.

Each candidate passes a multi-step process: résumé review, technical assessment (coding + data-pipeline scenarios), behavioural interview, and reference checks. For senior roles we add architecture deep dives to confirm real-world design ability.

Must-have skills typically include Python or Scala, SQL, distributed systems (Hadoop, Spark), cloud platforms (AWS EMR, Azure Synapse, GCP BigQuery), and workflow tools like Airflow or Databricks. Soft skills—problem solving and communication—are just as important.

We source and vet Data Engineers, Hadoop/Spark Developers, ETL Specialists, Data Architects, Machine-Learning Engineers, and Analytics Leads, covering the full stack from ingestion to visualization.

Big Data talent refers to engineers, architects, and analysts who design pipelines, manage massive datasets, and turn raw information into insights. Companies hire them when traditional databases hit volume, velocity, or variety limits and they need technologies like Hadoop, Spark, or cloud data lakes to stay competitive.

Yes. We regularly place on-site, hybrid, and fully remote cybersecurity professionals, ensuring cross-border tax and labor compliance for both countries.
