Hiring guide

What to look for in a Looker freelancer

A strong Looker expert treats the semantic model as the source of truth, not an afterthought. Look for:

  • Deep LookML skills, including derived tables and reusable dimensions.
  • A metrics-modeling mindset, so one number means the same thing everywhere.
  • Warehouse SQL fluency, because Looker is only as fast as the queries under it.
  • An eye for usable dashboards, not just charts crammed onto a page.
  • Governance experience: access controls, folders, and version-controlled LookML.

Ask how they would model a core metric so every dashboard reports it the same way.
