Data Operations IL: From the Other Side of the Interview Table
Job hunting is tough for everyone these days - but if you are looking for a role in data operations, it can feel especially murky.
From vague job titles and misleading descriptions to recruiters who don’t quite get your skillset, hiring managers unsure what they actually need, and role responsibilities that shift from one company to the next - navigating the job market in this space takes some serious detective work.
Join us for an open, honest conversation with people who sit on the other side of the hiring table for various data operations roles, and a series of 3 mini workshops to help you think through a hiring process.
We’ll be joined by speakers from different stages of the hiring process, who will share with us their perspective on recruiting for data operations roles (such as data labelers, data operations managers, data collection, data quality, etc.):
Hani Erel, Co-founder @ StartingUP
Yaniv Yakubovich, Senior Talent Acquisition @ UVeye
Rinat Moatty, Talent Acquisition & HR Manager @ Airis Labs
Dvir Horovitz, Data Research Team Lead @ Cyera
Tamar Paz, NLP Data Analytics Manager @ Walmart-Aspectiva
Ben Ben David, Head of Data @ Airis Labs
This isn’t a night of formal lectures. The event will be split into two parts:
Part 1: 2 Guided Panel Discussions
Expect candid insights, space for real questions, and practical advice.
Recruiting Panel: We’ll talk with Hani - Israel’s only Strategic Recruiter specializing in data operations (and the full spectrum of data roles); Yaniv - who recruited most of UVeye’s data ops team; and Rinat - who hired for a wide range of data roles, from student-level data operations positions to experienced data science and data engineering roles
Hiring Manager Panel: We'll talk with Dvir - who recently recruited Cyera’s first data operations manager; Tamar - who’s been hiring in this space since before it had a name; and Ben - who’s recruited data operations juniors for the past 8 years.
Part 2: Mini Hands-On Workshops
We'll break into three small-group workshops led by our experts, tackling real-life interview scenarios:
Recruiter interviews
Hiring manager interviews
Technical interviews
Whether you’re actively job searching or just curious about what’s next, this event is for anyone working (or aspiring to work) in data operations who wants to better understand how to navigate a very fuzzy job market.
