SmashFly Technologies Forms Strategic Advisory Board

CONCORD, Mass., Feb. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SmashFly Technologies, the leading Recruitment Marketing Platform provider, today announced the formation of a Strategic Advisory Board comprised of human resources, marketing and technology experts who will support SmashFly as it enables companies to master the art and science of attracting and hiring people who fit with their organization's purpose.

The board will work to advance the discipline of recruitment marketing through the convergence of HR, IT and marketing best practices. One of the board's key charters will be to establish the industry's first-ever Recruitment Marketing Executive Council of Chief HR Officers, CIOs, CTOs and CMOs to develop recommendations for how enterprises can modernize their recruiting strategy and technology to adapt to changing workforce dynamics. There has been a fundamental shift in what people expect from work – they choose to work with a company rather than for a company – and consider how their personal purpose for working aligns with an organization's mission, culture and values. Successfully hiring and retaining talent that fits will be vital to remaining agile and competitive today and tomorrow.
