If you have a friend, ex-colleague or someone you have collaborated in the past and feel that they've the right skills and breathe the same dh values then talent scout is the right platform to initiate their journey into dunnhumby.

Recently one of my friends approached me that his younger brother was not getting the right opportunities in his current organisation to learn and grow. Since I had mentored his younger brother in the past, it gave me confidence to recommend his name in the Talent Scout referral programme.

I'm so glad that I took this decision as once I initiated the process, the interview process started within a couple of days, and I was able to track all the interview stages. Everything about the referral felt great, from interacting with dunnhumby's hiring team, to him actually being evaluated for the right kind of opportunities for the first time in his career.

I am so happy that I was able to help my referral get a much awaited break in his career.

It feels wonderful to learn that not only have you made a positive impact in someone's life, but have been able to help dunnhumby hire the right talent!

Now I'm waiting for my referral bonus to celebrate the completion of my referred fellow dunnhumbian's probation.

 

Kartik Chhabra, Big Data Engineer (India), shares how it felt to be on the other side

Kartik Chhabra

On completing three years with my first organisation, I decided to switch and created a list of companies that excelled in their work related to data and data engineering. One of them being dunnhumby.

I consulted my elder brother who informed me that his friend Gandharv Kapoor works for dunnhumby. Gandharv briefed me about dunnhumby's purpose, its science and values. This knowledge made me more determined to crack the selection process.

After getting referred by him, my interview got scheduled. It has been a great experience at dunnhumby so far. I'm grateful I got a chance to work here.

Please note, Talent Scout (our referral reward scheme) is only applicable to dunnhumby employees.
