BI analyst guide: weekly work, skills to test, interview questions and India vs Philippines
What a BI analyst handles in a typical week
- Triage the report request queue and push back on one-off dashboards that duplicate existing ones
- Keep a KPI glossary so revenue, active users and churn mean the same thing in every view
- Watch scheduled refreshes and fix broken data sources before the Monday leadership meeting
- Tune slow reports: trim visuals, pre-aggregate tables and rewrite heavy DAX or calculated fields
- Manage workspaces, row-level security and sharing so people see only the numbers they should
- Run office hours that teach managers to filter, drill and export on their own
- Retire stale reports and keep a short catalog of certified dashboards
BI skills worth testing
| Skill | What good looks like |
|---|---|
| BI tool depth | Builds clean semantic models in Power BI, Tableau or Looker |
| SQL | Writes readable queries and checks totals against the source |
| Visual design | Puts the one number that matters at the top of every page |
| Governance | Certifies dashboards, documents KPIs and controls access |
| Performance | Makes a sluggish report load quickly without losing detail |
| Stakeholder handling | Turns a vague ask into a clear spec before building |
Interview questions and the Exordiom vetting process
- Two dashboards show different revenue for the same month. How do you find out why?
- Walk us through how you would speed up a report that takes a minute to load.
- How do you decide whether a request needs a new dashboard or a filter on an old one?
- Show us a dashboard you built and the decision it changed.
- How do you set up row-level security for regional managers?
- What belongs in a KPI glossary, and who signs off on each definition?
Warning signs: cluttered pages with a dozen charts, no habit of reconciling numbers, building every request as asked, and no documentation.
Shortlisted analysts stay in their current jobs until your offer is signed, so nobody waits on a bench. Exordiom runs an AI interview shaped to your BI stack, followed by human rounds on character, acumen, grit and experience. Hypercare check-ins run in weeks 1 and 2, then every four weeks from week 6.

In the Philippines, JLL is recruiting a business intelligence developer in Taguig, RELX lists a BI developer in Manila and Manulife wants a BI developer in Quezon City.
