In her recent article on Recruitment International, Randstad Sourceright CEO Rebecca Henderson discusses global HR technology adoption trends, based on findings from our 2017 Talent Trends research.
A surprising discovery from our global survey of more than 700 C-suite and human capital leaders is that the demand for technologies seems greatest in those fields that have previously lagged behind. The same holds true for emerging markets where the adoption of new innovations is providing a competitive advantage.

“Market maturity isn’t the only determining factor when it comes to adoption rates,” writes Henderson. “The nature of the organization’s business also indicates how quickly organizations react to new technologies. Some industries, such as IT & technology and automotive & manufacturing, have been on the forefront of robotics, automation and AI for decades. Others are picking up momentum.”
