Hiring guide

What to look for in a R freelancer

A strong R developer should understand the statistics behind the code, since the wrong method gives confident but wrong answers. Look for:

  • Genuine statistical grounding, not just the ability to call a function.
  • Fluent tidyverse and ggplot2 for wrangling and clear visuals.
  • Reproducible habits: R Markdown, Quarto, and version-controlled scripts.
  • Shiny experience if you need interactive dashboards for your team.
  • Analyses they can show, ideally in a field close to yours.

Ask them to explain a result in plain language. Someone who cannot translate the stats will not help your team act on them.
