Why This Hire Matters

Fintech companies need to build compliant products at startup speed in a heavily regulated environment. The data science talent pool has been diluted by bootcamp graduates who can train a model in a notebook but struggle to deploy one in production. Chennai's talent market is more relationship-driven than Bangalore's — referrals and network-based hiring outperform cold outreach significantly the difference between a great lead and an average one multiplies across every team member they influence — this is the highest-leverage individual contributor hire
