In 2022 hiring will remain the top obstacle to business fulfillment across the e-discovery, data privacy, and cybersecurity landscapes. Here's how to stay a cut above the competition — whether you are an employer or a job seeker.
2021 was an unprecedented year of economic growth, with staffing challenges at the forefront of nearly every sector of the global economy. Legal technology was no exception, and in 2022 hiring will remain the top obstacle to business fulfillment across the e-discovery, data privacy, and cybersecurity landscapes. Here are the top 10 predictions for 2022's job market and some advice on how to stay a cut above the competition — whether you are an employer or a job seeker.

For data privacy and security, the timetables are not much different. CPO hiring cycles went from three to six months, to now three to six weeks on average. Virtual interviewing and quick hiring decisions are no longer just competitive advantages — they will be requirements to win the war for talent.
