Our strengths at your fingertips
Insights Wizards is a unique recruiter as we are researchers ourselves. As such, we know how to ensure the perfect match and hence apply strict screening standards.
Being part of the wider One Inch Whale company, we have access to their thought leadership for all questions related to AI & Research
Marketing teams build their own mix of tools for survey (Qualtrics, Medallia), analysis (SPSS, SAS), reporting and visualization (Tableau, Power BI). Also programming languages like R, Python and SQL are increasingly finding their way to marketing departments. Although our Wizards have a broad expertise, they are not an expert in everything. That’s where our network shines—our freelancers can tap fellow experts with the exact skills you need.
As we specialize in insights, strategy and analytics, we know and propose other freelancer profiles than what the more generic recruiters might do
Our Wizards have at least 10 years of experience in market research or the data and insights industry. Many also bring leadership or advisory experience from companies, agencies, or organizations like ESOMAR, UBA or CIM, blending scientific methods with practical insight.
The increased volume and diversity of data is greatly complexifying the understanding of markets and consumers. As such, some projects demand a more flexible, tailored approach due to their unique complexities, a mix of research & insight, analytics and strategy/innovation. We work closely with the client to assess the challenges and identify the necessary skill sets - then propose a smart, effective way forward. Fortunately, we are seeing more and more “T-shaped” profiles who have deep expertise in one area and broad knowledge across multiple disciplines

the interim intervention
When our lead insights expert became a mom, we were thrilled for her, but her absence hit hard. Thankfully, an Insights Wizard was ready to step in and keep the magic going without missing a beat.
the strategic intervention
Honestly, we were stuck. Torn over how to launch our new product, and tensions were running high. We asked Insights Wizard to step in. Backed by solid data and sharp strategic thinking, they gave us the clarity and direction we desperately needed.
