This week's is going to be a little different... Instead of a fact about our team, we'll share a fun fact about our messaging software, Slack.

The organizations that win talent today are aligning their marketing, data, and technology to create a cohesive experience from top-of-the-funnel awareness, to bottom-of-the-funnel conversion.

Where does your recruitment marketing strategy stand?
