Hiring a Business Analyst — questions employers ask
Business Analyst or Product Manager?
A BA specifies what the business asked for and ensures it is built correctly; a PM decides what is worth building at all. Confusing them in a job advert attracts the wrong candidates.
Does domain experience matter?
In BFSI, healthcare and insurance, considerably — the vocabulary and regulatory constraints take months to learn. In general software, transferable analysis skill matters more.
How do we measure a BA?
Rework after sign-off, and how often engineering has to go back for clarification. Both are visible within a couple of sprints.
