June 2015 by Marc Jacob
Apt Search, the UK’s first recruitment specialists fully dedicated to the data driven markets of e-discovery and information governance, and BigRed Consulting, UK-based information governance experts, have released a joint whitepaper to help organisations recruit successfully in the areas of e-discovery, security and information governance. The whitepaper, Information governance – the skills and knowledge organisations need, looks at current personnel challenges faced by organisations and career opportunities now open for individuals.
28 percent of organisations [1] plan to hire for security, compliance and governance roles in 2015. Enticing good prospective candidates to the recruitment table with specialist knowledge of their career paths and aspirations – and the appropriate level of remuneration – is key. According to Apt Search, the shortfall of talent will create a significant gap between what the market is able to supply in terms of skilled staff and what businesses will need. The whitepaper, titled ‘Information governance – the skills and knowledge organisations need’, is targeted at organisations that want to boost their in-house capabilities in the areas of e-discovery, security and compliance. It provides strategies that can be put in place now to manage the expected skills shortfall.
Key issues covered by the whitepaper include:
• The information governance challenge
• What makes a good information governance person
• Shifting importance of information governance at board level
• Tips for in-house recruiters in identifying the best candidates
• Tips for individuals seeking a role in information governance.
