Development
Candidates come to support projects. Candidates are screened, interviewed, coached, developed, directed and supervised directly by Data Means. With this level of control it is easier and faster to develop junior candidates. This can take about 6 to 9 months.

Exposure

On site consulting, contracting or project assignment. Data Means supports both client and candidate to ensure successful completion of assignment or projects. This should last at least 6 months.
