National Distinguished Candidate Hiring Conferences

Hire Top Military Officer Talent through these National Events

UPCOMING DISTINGUISHED CANDIDATE CONFERENCES

Since 1991, our clients have told us that the most important factor in deciding to hire military through an agency is the Quality of Candidate. Our unique Distinguished Candidate Conferences are designed to recruit, assess, screen, and present the top military candidates for your hiring needs. In 2018, 130 client companies interviewed Orion's Military Officers at our Distinguished Candidate Conferences, with 30% making multiple hires.
