How long does it take to become a Data Recovery Expert?

In his book Outliers, pop psych writer Malcolm Gladwell popularized the “10,000 Hour Rule”. Gladwell claimed that it takes roughly 10,000 hours of dedicated practice to become a world-class expert in any field. While the idea has largely been debunked, the concept behind it is sound.

If you look at the geniuses in the world—great artists, virtuoso musicians, chess grandmasters—you will find that they all worked very hard for a long time to get where they are. At any rate, our most skilled data recovery technicians have been with us for years and have put in well over 10,000 hours of hard work into data recovery services. At Gillware, our data recovery lab is filled with world-class data recovery experts.

Our data recovery lab here at Gillware sees more than 100 data recovery cases come into our doors every week. And over 100 successfully-completed data recovery cases leave our lab every week.

With our full-time data recovery technicians spending an average of 2,000-2,500 hours on data recovery services per year, it can take only a few years for somebody in our engineering department to go from data recovery neophyte to data recovery expert.
