Recruiting military students is a smart move for any school. The value that student veterans bring to a campus (or online classroom) is seen in their graduation rates, grade point averages and their leadership qualities. According to Student Veterans of America's 2017 "Profile of the Contemporary Student Veteran," student veterans have GPAs that far outpace their non-veteran peers, coming in at 3.35 compared to 2.95. The study also proclaims that student veterans have higher graduation rates than non-veterans, along with an interest in pursuing degrees in STEM.

Content marketing plays a more prominent role in the recruitment landscape than ever before. Marketers have gotten smarter about the way they produce content, personalizing it for their target audience and even automating when and where that content is shown. Personalizing content makes for a more relatable experience for the audience, which in turn leads them to develop loyalty.

Facebook is one of the most powerful social recruitment tools at your disposal. Along with being the largest social media network in the world, Facebook is also home to millions of job candidates. With the ability to reach both active and passive job candidates, it is a platform that any recruiter or recruitment marketer can't afford not to be using.

In fact, you're probably either using or viewing some form of content marketing on a daily basis and you might not even know it, especially if you use social media. The Content Marketing Institute defines content marketing as "...a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly-defined audience — and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action."
