Cybersecurity consultancy CCL on recruitment push

Global e-discovery market CCL plays in worth more than $10bn in 2015, according to IDC

Digital forensics provider CCL Solutions Group has launched a recruitment drive as it claims the services it provides are becoming increasingly sought after.

CCL is looking to increase its headcount by 20 per cent, bringing in new recruits to its Stratford upon Avon HQ and London office, to take its total to more than 150 staff.

Jon Blows, CCL Group CEO, said the recruitment campaign comes at a time of rising interest in the industry.

"This is an exciting time for CCL, with our robust order book and an increasing requirement for our range of digital investigations services, e-disclosure services and cybersecurity consultancy," he said. "Not only are we responding to market demand, [we are] investing in new skills in order to broaden and deepen our service offering.

"We are especially pleased to have so many openings for graduates, who will become the next generation of digital forensics specialists, an industry that we are proud to be the UK's largest provider of."

News of CCL's recruitment push comes in the same week as IDC said it forecasted the global e-discovery services market to be at $8.2bn (£5.6bn) at the end of 2015. Coupled with the e-discovery software market, of more than $2bn, this means the worldwide e-discovery market is worth more than $10bn, the analyst said.

IDC expects the e-discovery market to grow at 9.8 per cent compound annual growth rate (CAGR), meaning by 2019 the software and services segments will together be worth more than $14.7bn.
