SmashFly Integration - Overview
SmashFly is a Recruitment Marketing and Candidate Relationshp Management solution. SmashFly helps you find, initiate and nurture candidate relationships so you both can better determine fit before hire to reduce costs, improve engagement, and increase retention.
With the SmashFly integration, jobs created in the Applicant Tracking System will be sent seamlessly into SmashFly so that you can market these jobs across the web. With SmashFly, you can capture job seeker details in the Candidate Relationshp Management via opt-in forms before they apply to a job. You may then use SmashFly to conduct email marketing campaigns targeting these candidates in the Candidate Relationshp Management. Finally, with the SmashFly Cornerstone integration, you can view metrics on your recruitment marketing campaigns to see how a job seeker has progressed from a passive job seeker into an applicant in the Applicant Tracking System, and then into a hire.

Business Value
Organizations spend a lot of resources to attract new leads through job ads and various marketing but lack the tools to monitor the return on investment. Which ads lead to the most clicks, new submissions, and eventually new hires?
SmashFly allows you to widen the funnel to attract more qualified leads, market to those who started but did not complete an application, nurture passive talent, and identify which sources impact hiring key performance indicators and yield the strongest new employees. By measuring the success of every campaign and source, you can optimize your spending cost.
Not only can you spend where it counts but you can also increase your conversion rate. Real time funnel conversion metrics allow you to see who dropped off on the career site search page, job ad, or application workflow. Re-market to these applicants so that they come back and complete their application. Re-market to these applicants with similar jobs or helpful content, thereby building your relationship with a potential new employee.

Use Cases

Acme Co's Talent Acquisition team uses both Cornerstone and SmashFly as part of their recruiting tech stack. Amy, a Recruiter at Acme with "CRM Integration - Manage" permissions, wants to market a job in SmashFly that she has just created in the Applicant Tracking System. After creating the requisition, she returns to the Manage Requisitions page, clicks the drop-down arrow next to the requisition she wants to manage in SmashFly, and then clicks the "Manage" option. She is already logged into SmashFly, so the appropriate requisition to be marketed appears in her SmashFly view. She can take action on it from this view.

A candidate, Jane, is interested in jobs at Acme Co. The candidate conducts an online search for "Acme Co. Jobs" and sees a SmashFly-generated search engine optimized landing page in the search results. Jane clicks the link to visit the landing page that is advertising jobs. She then clicks "Apply Now" for a specific job and is sent to the SmashFly Opt-In form. She submits her name and email address on the form and is then sent directly to the first page of the Cornerstone application for that job.
Implementation
This functionality is only available for organizations that have signed a contract with SmashFly and are using Recruiting. This integration is available for free via Edge Marketplace.
