Get on the right side of AI for talent acquisition's adoption curve to secure a lasting competitive advantage

For those who are unfamiliar, the concept of the technology adoption curve was popularized by Everett Rogers in his book Diffusion of Innovations. Although some HR tech writers have joked that the overall HR technology adoption curve looks markedly different, with a majority of HR tech buyers disproportionately disposed to the far left of the curve, the true speed of adoption of AI in talent acquisition tracks closely to the standard curve. Innovators and early adopters are exposed to the greatest amount of risk from adopting new often unproven technologies. However, due to the considerable competitive advantages that may be realized by implementing breakthrough technology, they also stand to benefit the most. While the innovators and adopters have a greater appetite for and ability to manage risk, for the majority of companies shooting to be part of the early majority is the most strategically advantageous way to implement new technology.
