Data Recruitment, AI Hiring and Analytics Talent Expertise

You’re not imagining the pressure

When Others Can’t Find the Talent, MCS Does

Finding the right data talent has become a challenge in itself. Teams need Data Engineers, Data Scientists, Data Analysts, BI Developers, Machine Learning Engineers and AI Specialists who can handle real-world complexity, not just theory. But the people who can do that work well are still in very short supply.

You’ve probably seen it too. Strong Data Engineer CVs that fall short on pipeline experience. Data Scientists confident in the maths but not in production. AI and ML roles with almost no available talent. Analysts and BI specialists who can build dashboards but struggle to draw conclusions. Even niche roles like Data Architect or ETL Developer stalling projects because the balance of skills isn’t quite right.

If you are trying to hire data engineers, hire data analysts or hire BI specialists in this environment, it can feel like a constant uphill push. MCS Group helps bridge that gap.

Opportunities in Data, AI and Analytics

Join teams that take Data and AI seriously

Data, AI and analytics roles suit people who want real ownership of complex problems. We work with Data Engineers, Analysts, Data Scientists and ML specialists who are looking for teams that value strong pipelines, applied modelling and clear insight. If you want to work with modern tooling and projects that actually reach production, we can help you find the right fit.

Whether you focus on BI, visualisation or deeper analytics, we connect you with teams that want more than dashboards. These roles give you space to interpret insight and influence real business decisions.

Explore Latest Roles

Modern data teams need engineers who can design and run reliable pipelines. If you want to work on ingestion, orchestration, optimisation or cloud data platforms, we support roles that give you ownership of the full flow.

Building strong data teams starts with solving the real problems

Data roles can look similar on paper but be worlds apart in practice. Pipelines, models, dashboards and governance all break for different reasons. You need people who understand the difference and can guide you to the right skill set without wasting time.

Our consultants specialise in the details most teams struggle to assess. Pipeline design, SQL depth, model deployment, feature engineering, MLOps, BI stack differences, governance frameworks. We know what strong looks like because we speak to data professionals about this work every day.

Example link

If you need cleaner pipelines, you meet Data Engineers with real ingestion and orchestration experience.
If your models are stuck in notebooks, you meet ML Engineers who can push code into production.
If reporting is unclear, you meet BI and analytics specialists who can interpret insight, not just visualise it.

Data hiring often becomes noisy. Stakeholders want different things, requirements shift and timelines shorten. We keep everything organised, communicate quickly and give feedback that helps you make decisions with confidence.

Whether you need one Data Engineer to stabilise a system, a Data Scientist who can deliver applied modelling, a BI specialist to bring clarity or a wider team to support AI adoption, we adapt around your priorities. No fixed templates. Just support that matches the work ahead.
