How Consortia recruits business analysts
We recruit business analysts (BAs) across the UK, Europe, the US and the UAE, on permanent and contract terms. We place BAs into product teams, transformation programmes and data projects.
Business analysts earn their keep in almost any change a business makes. Briefs increasingly ask for analysts who are comfortable with data and product ways of working, not just documentation.
Every search starts with the role itself. The line between business analyst and product owner is blurring, so we check early which one you need. The answer can change the title, the pay and the people you reach.
We then look at where the analyst will work. In regulated sectors, we focus on people who have worked under similar rules. Where AI is part of delivery, we look for analysts who have written specifications for AI-built software and tested what came back.
Contract work makes up a large share of the BA market, so we talk through the engagement early. A defined programme of change often suits a contractor. A role that will shape how the team works over time usually suits a permanent hire.
Throughout, we look for the basics that haven't changed: clear communication, and user stories and epics a team can build from.
