Know why they’re right.

01 / DEFINE THE ROLE

We help your people team identify relevant candidate profiles, shape outreach and review the pipeline. We bring technical judgment to the shortlist so the search stays focused on the experience your business needs.

WHAT YOU GETA targeted search approach and technical input on which candidates to progress.

03 / VET THE CANDIDATES

See how they approach the work.

We design and run structured technical interviews and practical assessments. Evaluate problem-solving, data modeling, engineering judgment and the ability to explain decisions to the people who will use the results.

WHAT YOU GETConsistent, role-specific assessments with clear evidence of strengths, gaps and follow-up questions.

04 / HIRE & ONBOARD

Make the decision with confidence.

We help your team compare finalists, resolve technical questions and plan the new hire’s first priorities. Your people team leads the offer and employment process; Orchard helps the person get ready to own the data work.

FROM YOUR FIRST HIRE TO A FULL DATA TEAM

The right expertise.
At the right stage.

We can help you assess data engineers, analytics engineers, analysts and data leaders. We shape the evaluation around your stack, business questions and the level of ownership you need.

Pipelines, integrations, reliability and infrastructure.

MODEL

Analytics engineers

Transformations, definitions, testing and usable data models.

EXPLAIN

Data analysts

FLEXIBLE SUPPORT

A second opinion.
Or help through the whole hire.

Bring us in for a technical interview, support across an open role or a broader plan for building your team. We work alongside your people team and existing recruiting partners.

If Orchard is already supporting your data work, we can help you hire toward an in-house team and plan the handover, with documentation, training and ongoing support where you need it.

LET'S GET INTO IT.

What business problem
are you trying to solve?

Tell us what you're working on and who's on your team.
