Presented at 2014 HR Technology Conference. Lockheed Martin doesn’t just talk about people as their greatest organizational asset – its backed by a topnotch talent- acquisition process aimed at strengthening its team, now 116,000 strong. But, to maintain its competitive advantage, it needs to stay on the forward edge of recruiting. So when the company needed a way to bring all its separate initiatives together into a cohesive strategy for greater efficiency and also to gain the full visibility integral to improve overall resource allocation and decision-making, it implemented a Recruitment Marketing Platform to build a data-driven recruitment strategy. Now, the insights from the data help their teams foster engagement and community with the specialized candidates they need to attract. Marvin Smith will show you how to promote and leverage employment brand, social media, employee referrals, alumni networks and digital campaigns to discover and attract hard-to-find skilled candidates and the kinds of people needed to drive your business forward.
Introduction was provided by Mike Hennessy on the evolving role of recruitment marketing in how companies attract the right qualified talent to the organization.

This means that everything = I mean EVERYTYHING that we do to market jobs – all flows through SmashFly. No one scrapes our ATS career site for jobs – if they do – it would cut off our metrics and visibility to what’s happening there. Jobs flow from our ATS into SmashFly – a landing pages of our career site and jobs are all marketed form there and this drives flow that is both tracked and captured - If it’s a ppc campaign or a banner placed tracking pixel, if it’s a job board or aggregator – they all to through SmashFly and are tracked centrally – and consistently invited to first join our talent network before proceeding into our ATS. This means we can capture a huge portion of folks who otherwise have dropped out of the process before they become applicants – we’ve found about half will drop prior to completion…we then have integrations with BrassRing for additional data information.
