  7. LM Recruiting Model Background Mid-90s: Many legacy company units, each with own staffing Many empty seats - Slow time to fill 1997: HR VP opens Washington Post, sees 6 LM recruitment ads…. • “Has to be a better way!” 1998: LM Regional Recruiting Center (RRC) concept born Lockheed Martin Corporation - CSLE

  8. 1. Improve recruitment service and hiring performance 2. Develop a system that introduces significant cost savings 3. Create a transferable concept LM Recruiting Model Regional Recruiting Centers (RRCs) Objectives: Cost per Hire Candidate Experience Cycle Time • Eliminate duplication:ads, job fairs, sourcing efforts • Interview once, but be seen by many BUs (one stop shopping) • 24-hour offers Lockheed Martin Corporation - CSLE

  9. LM Recruiting Model RRC Process Process successful: • Washington Metro • Tyson’s corner satellite • Delaware Valley • Two centers: NJ and PA • Third satellite in Owego, NY • Orlando • Silicon Valley • Plus Rocky Mountain satellite near Denver • Aeronautics – Ft. Worth Today, LM hires10-12,000 people per year Over 80% hired through RRC process Lockheed Martin Corporation - CSLE

  11. LM Strategic Sourcing Model SSG – Evolution • Beginnings • In WMA RRC, initially identified need to proactively address increasing shortage of ‘cleared’ candidates (TS/SCI w/Polygraph) • Included study of state of clearances & potential candidate population • Small separate group formed within Staffing - Strategic Sourcing Group - to research, identify, ‘tag’ and source for these and other ‘critical skills’ • Critical skills defined as those skill sets that are: • Needed for maintaining & expanding LM’s core businesses • Needed in significant quantities across multiple LM Business Units • Always difficult to find and hire 2003 Lockheed Martin Corporation - CSLE

  12. LM Strategic Sourcing Model SSG – Evolution • Beginnings (cont.) • Developed critical skill list – hard work! • Set up initial ‘central repository’ of sourcing knowledge (Strategic Sourcing SharePoint) • Developed specialized research on critical skills • Began development of critical skill pipelines, with limited staff 2004-2006 Lockheed Martin Corporation - CSLE

  13. LM Strategic Sourcing Model SSG – Evolution • Business case to expand team to accommodate more pipelines • Based on existing research, focused LM’s need to tap into broader labor market (‘passive’ candidates) • Highlighted other companies’ best practices re: passive candidates • Gap analysis: present state vs. desired state • Showed considerable groundwork already established ! • Role of RRCs vs. SSG re: pipelining candidates – tactical vs. strategic: different approach, different tools • Benefits of dedicated work on pipelines • Resources needed to close the gaps • Gained buy-in from RRC stakeholders Early 2007 Lockheed Martin Corporation - CSLE

  14. LM Strategic Sourcing Model SSG – Evolution • Current State • 5 strategic sourcers • 9 major skill pipelines in progress (since 3Q07) and producing viable, critical skill candidates • Established Service Level Agreement, early 2008 • Contributing on hard-to-find sourcing assignments • Completing research requests • Establishing credibility as we go Lockheed Martin Corporation - CSLE

  15. LM Strategic Sourcing Model Why ‘Expro’ Pipelines? • Industry research: > 50% of Labor Market is ‘passive’ • For LM critical skills, considerably higher • Build predictable talent pipelines in advance of need, given tightening market of critical talent • Enhance positioning relative to our competitors; attract more than our share of critical skill talent • Gain talent advantage by maintaining relationships with top talent over time, to convert the best candidates quickly • Break ahead of ‘business as usual’ to improve key recruiting outcomes A focus purely on active candidates ignores over half the talent market Lockheed Martin Corporation - CSLE

  16. Internal External Pipeline LM Strategic Sourcing Model Filling the Pipelines Mine/Research LM Candidate Database ‘Soft-Sell’ Advertising/Outreach Mine Web: Any/Every Way Strategic Sourcer Engage ‘Silver Medalists’ Employ Social Networking Tools Contacts the Prospect(email or phone) Begins the dialogue Obtains basic profileor resume Sets framework for follow-up w/prospect Completes CRM form Enters info/resume as Pipeline prospect/candidate Continues to update prospect record over time Research, Research, Research… LM Proprietary Web Tools Lockheed Martin Corporation - CSLE

  17. Strategic Sourcing Leads Contacts RRCs Candidates Hires LM Strategic Sourcing Model From Pipelines to Applicants • Passives to Actives • When the prospect’s timing is right • When we have a particular opportunity that we market to them and they’re interested • Strategic Sourcer refers the candidate • To the appropriate recruiter (if actual requisition is known) • To RRC manager if just area of fit is known • Candidate type changed: ‘passive’ to ‘external’ • Smooth transition is important! • Candidate shouldn’t feel like they’re starting over • Still working this process Lockheed Martin Corporation - CSLE

  18. LM Strategic Sourcing Model SSG – Services Provided • Primary Services • Critical skill pipeline development, sourcing support • Special Research Requests • New Market Research, Acquisition Support, other research • Additional Activity/Output • Update/maintenance of critical skill list, sharepoint, industry conferences, etc. All services defined inService Level Agreement Lockheed Martin Corporation - CSLE

  19. LM Strategic Sourcing Model What Works • All-Sourcers List • Soft-sell advertising • Focused use of specialized tools • Elevator Pitches – for campaigns • Varied backgrounds of sourcers • Building relationships over time Lockheed Martin Corporation - CSLE

  20. LM Strategic Sourcing Model What Needs Work • Transitioning passives to RRC recruiters • Soft-sell advertising • More automated data capture • Identifying skill pools in the corporation • Integrating understanding of SSG into dynamic staff changes at RRCs • Verifying ‘real’ needs Lockheed Martin Corporation - CSLE

  21.
