The Fourth Industrial Revolution commenced a few years ago with the advent of “cyber-physical systems” that will profoundly change the way we live and work. Examples are the steps forward and integration of artificial technology, virtual reality, robotics, block-chain, self-driving cars and predictive analytics, to name a few. Previous industrial revolutions have brought efficiencies and price-performance benefits, as well as a massive increase in employment. Now new technology, this digital disruption, could be a job destroyer. > **Related: [The Staffing Industry and Government Regulation –                 A Global Discussion](https://blog.hhmc.com.au/2013/06/the-staffing-industry-and-government-regulation-a-global-discussion)** Once again recruitment agency owners and managers need to consider these changes as they may impact their niche and their customers and candidates. The take-up of technology is always quicker, deeper and more profound than imagined, despite the inevitable over-hyping from suppliers to early adopters. ![SIA Report on Digital Disruption](https://blog.hhmc.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Digital-disruption-img-350x200.jpg?width=497&name=Digital-disruption-img-350x200.jpg "SIA Report on Digital Disruption") The full report can be read [here](http://www2.staffingindustry.com/row_member/Research/Research-Topics-Reports/APAC/Digital-Disruption-and-the-Staffing-Industry) **Staffing Industry Analysts is the global advisor on contingent work.
