"A first class service from personable people"

I've dealt with Data Idols both as a candidate and someone receiving candidate CV's to interview from them.

I can say without any hesitation that it was the best experience I've ever had dealing with a recruiter. Very professional, personable with real hands on coding experience at the top which really helps with trusting the quality of CV's coming through.

I would have no hesitation in working with them again.

"Great data professionals"

Data Idols is one of the best agencies I have had the pleasure of working with. They are honest, professional and very personable.

They have sourced my last two contracts, one with an e-commerce and one with a FinTech company.

Highly recommended.

"Top Recruitment Agency"

I worked with Data Idols on a new contract placement back in 2018. They did a fantastic job during the interviewing process and ensured I had the best possible chance of getting a good offer. Whilst in the contract, I regularly met with the owner/Founder, David and he always ensured everything was ticking along nicely. David was always very happy to grab a coffee and catch up. Data Idols are without doubt one of the best Recruitment Agencies I have worked with.

"Professional, authentic recruiter in the data science space"

I met Adam from DataIdols at the Data Science Festival and engaged with him about a role in the data science space.

Adam was very supportive and helpful through the process, taking an authentic interest in me and my situation. He is very approachable and professional, and took the stress out of the ordeal that is searching for a new role. Although I decided to go with a different role in the end, I wouldn't hesitate to work with DataIdols again.

It's great that they engage with the community through things like the data science festival, it makes them stand out as great recruiters!

"Recruiters who genuinely care and provide suitable roles!"

Data Idols couldn't have provided a better experience for me in helping my search for a job. Unlike many other recruiters who bombard you with irrelevant or not suitable roles, it was clear that the data idols team had spent the time to look through my LinkedIn profile and CV and only provide me with jobs that suited my interests and experience level.
Throughout the recruitment processes, they kept in regular contact, provided clear information on what could be expected at each interview stage and made sure I received clear feedback when I wasn't successful with a role.
Whilst Charlotte was responsible for helping me find a job, another of her colleagues stepped in whilst she was away for 1 week and it was clear that they care about the people they are trying to help find jobs.
They finally also help run a community of data scientists/engineers/analysts and have regular talks called Data Science Festival. With regular talks this was also a great place to network with people from potential employers to hear about their roles.
Would definitely recommend getting in touch with them if you're looking for a job in this area!

"I felt David was very knowledgable…"

I felt David was very knowledgable about the data industry, having worked in it himself, and I was able to have a very candid discussion regarding my skill set and aspirations. He did not try to simply push the latest job advertised but advised what employers are looking for and what kind of position I could take at this stage which would give me the skills and experience to progress my career. My contact with Data Idols was very professional throughout and David checked in frequently to provide encouragement and support in my application. Unfortunately I was not offered the job that I applied for however if an alternative position became available I would not hesitate to work with Data Idols again.

"Great experience working with DataIdols"

I had a great experience working through Data Idols for a leading e-commerce client in 2018. I found David to be available and very approachable, meaning any questions that I had were quickly answered. David gave me a good honest insight into the client before I started and the Data Idols met all of my expectations from an admin/invoicing perspective. I'd happily work with them again.

"My idols at Data Idols. Too twee?"

David over at Data Idols saved me from a dire contract in Amsterdam and landed me a gig at Trainline.

Despite being an ocean away he sorted the interview process incredibly quickly, allowing me to fly back and meet the team within a week.

Throughout my year-long contract we met frequently face to face for catchups, averting any crises & sorting out the occasional contract extension.

When you find a recruiter you can trust, you hold on to them for dear life. Sadly the contract ended, but if there's ever a chance to work with him and the rest of the team again I'd jump on it.

"I had a really great experience working…"

I had a really great experience working with Data Idols.

They process of finding a contract and dealing with all the admin and paper work involved was made extremely easy.

I'd definetly work with them again if I had the chance.

"Excellent at finding top-level Data Engineers"

Great experience working with David and his team at Data Idols when I was building the Data Engineering team at Trainline. They took the time to properly understand my overall aims for the team, as well as specific needs of the roles. I particularly appreciated their diligent screening of candidates, never putting forward candidates who lacked 'must have' skills. Data Idols are a hard working team, and it has been my pleasure to recommend them to former colleagues working at other organisations.
