Acumin Launches US Recruitment Services

September 30, 2011 – Acumin Consulting, a U.K. recruitment services specialist to the information security and risk management markets, has launched its services to the U.S. market. The expansion comes as a result of demand from U.S.-based vendors that Acumin has previously serviced within Europe and Acumin's desire to build a global information security recruitment practice. Recruitment professionals Bill McGowan and Jeff Combs will spearhead the launch, duplicating the executive search, permanent and contract recruitment services currently provided by Acumin across EMEA. Mr. Combs, director, Acumin Consulting USA, said: “While the U.S. economy is still working its way out of the recession, companies are starting to reinvest in their Information Security and IT Risk functions again. Emerging risks, regulatory and compliance drivers and the need to remain competitive from a business perspective require an investment in qualified Information Security professionals. This is true whether you're an enterprise-scale organization or a small business and as a result, companies are hiring.”
