Hiring tips from our team
Advice for finding the right analytics specialist
Test SQL skills with a real business scenario — not textbook queries. Give them a messy dataset and ask what story the data tells.
Look for communication skills as much as technical ability. The best analysts translate complex findings into clear business recommendations.
Ask about a time they changed a business decision with data. The answer reveals their impact beyond just creating charts.
Prioritize candidates who ask "why" before diving into analysis — understanding the business context matters more than speed.

Feedback from founders who hired through us
Keto Software
€1.7M ARR startup • Hired 4+ positions • Focus on European expansion hires
What we've delivered:
"Working with Herizon has been an absolute turning point for our hiring. They have already helped us successfully bring on board a Growth Marketing Manager and a RevOps Manager, and are now supporting us in finding the right AEs and a Partnership Development Manager. What sets Herizon apart is not only their deep understanding of every role in a revenue organization, but also their ability to truly grasp what we are looking for as if they were part of our own team. They don't just present candidates — they challenge our thinking, help us sort through priorities, and go deep with candidates to ensure we're meeting the right people. I couldn't recommend Herizon highly enough for any company looking to build out their revenue teams with the right people."
"Found people who actually understand the problem. They're from regions where sustainability challenges are real and motivation to solve them is high."
