Ask them what they would do if they realized the data in a report was wrong after they already presented it to a client.

I also ask them how they would do an exercise using a tool like excel or tableau ga, etc. Just to see they know how to efficiently use the tools they claim

It depends on what you need these analysts to do. I like to always understand how they think and how they handle stressful situations so tailor questions to get a sense of which candidate will be able to excel in the role

like

I would give them take home projects to complete over the course of a week. Take home projects are a great way to test their analytical skills plus their presentations skills (assuming you have them come in and present).

@DA1 it’s about how they go about approaching the question, communicating their logic and how they perform under pressure. Also really shows who actually prepared for the interview

you guys are killin it with the questions!

FCB 1 - absolutely.

How would you measure creative effectiveness?

That’s such a broad question DA1. But I guess maybe that’s the point?

What item on your resume are you the most proud of and why?

Hands down favourite: Tell me about a project you're currently working on or have worked on that you're MOST proud about.

Look for:
1. Their level of involvement: are they just executing commands or did they ask the question (and the questions after)
2. Understanding the true business question and business value the solution would bring
3. Tools they used to solve it: were they the right Tools?

Bonus follow-up question:
Now that we are taking about it... any ideas how you could have done it differently?

Look for:
1. Continuous improvement of ideas. Spit balling ideas
2. Did they learn a new method that they thought could be used?i.e. learned python last week and maybe they can do... this is continuous learning & development.
