Reply to: Data Modeller? Really???

[shaunbhoy]

Isn't sasguru a "data modeller"? That being so, £10 a hour would seem to be at the high end!

Last time I was involved with data input teams, I had the whole lot outsourced to India. 12 Data Stewards all on £8000 per year and all Uni graduates.

It was over 10 years ago...

Very true. The last time I was in that environment they used be in bands, wear black and never take their shades off...

Wear hair bands and never take their socks off?

Last time I worked with a load of data entry people I was surprised to find that the experienced enterers were about 3 times quicker than the rookies, and got paid a lot more (but not 3 times more). And they're usually the coolest people in the building.

True, it's a shame that they're only paying DE rates, however. I'd expect even interns to get a bit more than that...

£10 ph is pretty good for Data Entry. I would suggest that just above minimum wage is the usual rate for DE work in the Midlands.

This role would suit someone either new to or already in the IT field

That's everyone then isn't it?

Top marks for imagination in calling it data modelling. What they really mean is "entering data into a system that we haven't finished building and haven't completely worked out the rules of".

Oh Dear,

It looks like they think that Data Modelling and Data Entry are one and the same thing...

See comments in other thread re CVs...

You couldn't make this up. How come such ignorant pigs are running IT recruitment?

The job description sounds like something an intern might do though
