What to look for in a Data Analysis freelancer
A strong data analyst should translate numbers into decisions and explain the story behind them, not just produce charts. Look for:
- A focus on the decision, not just a pretty dashboard.
- Core tooling: SQL, Excel or Sheets, and Looker, Power BI, or Tableau.
- Rigor with the data: clean sources, sound methods, and honesty about caveats.
- Clear communication that turns findings into plain-language recommendations.
- A portfolio of real analyses, ideally with the decisions they informed.
Ask a candidate to walk through a past analysis and what changed because of it, or commission a small paid test on a sample of your own data.
