EMPLOYEE WELL-BEING

Along with this, Stiles continues to work with schools that have been a powerhouse of talent for the industry, including
North Carolina State University, Virginia Tech, the University of Kentucky, Eastern Carolina University, the Colorado School
of Mines, Missouri University of Science and Technology, and various others including moving beyond in-person recruiting
events and starting with a new, digital tool to connect with potential new hires.

Handshake, a modernized digital recruiting tool, has allowed the team to reach out directly to possible candidates who
match various job requirements. Through this program, Stiles has contacted college students ready to start a career by
using precise targeting methods. This was a significant tool following a recent Florida acquisition. After Martin Marietta
acquired the new site, the team could use Handshake to zone in on rising industry leaders looking to enter the mining
world.

By the end of 2024, the recruiting team led almost 30 digital campaigns and had received approximately 2,000
applications for open jobs. Historically, many college students who have begun a career with Martin Marietta have done
so through the Internship Program, which is explicitly geared toward active students, or the Management Associate
Program, designed for recent college graduates. While those programs have been expanding for several years, Stiles says
they grew substantially in 2024, with nearly 85 interns and 45 management associates joining the company.

Feedback on the ground, he says, has also been incredibly positive. One of those management associates, Samantha
Mitchell, is having a “full-circle moment” as she works closely with Stiles to recruit future students to the program.

“It is a great experience to see so many positive, potential applicants,” Mitchell said. “And with so much being thrown at
them from other companies, I’ve learned from Stanley that simply showing up isn’t enough. We have to actively work to
build connections and show them all our company offers.”

As 2025 begins and the team starts traveling to schools, Stiles said the future looks bright. “We’re seeing great growth,
but we know it’s going to take some time,” he says. “We’re speaking about who we are, sharing our values, and helping
Martin Marietta build its reputation. It’s all starting to come together.
