National Distinguished Candidate Hiring Conferences

Hire Top Military Officer Talent through these National Events

UPCOMING DISTINGUISHED CANDIDATE CONFERENCES

Our National Distinguished Candidate Conferences (DCCs) offer a unique format, designed to maximize your chances of connecting with the right candidate. We created the DCC to present you with the top military candidates to help fill your hiring needs. All candidates are already screened by us, saving you time in the hiring process. You will only be presented with candidates that specifically meet the qualifications you are seeking, ensuring the event is an efficient and productive use of your time. In 2018, 130 client companies interviewed Orion's Military Officers at our Distinguished Candidate Conferences, with 30% making multiple hires.

Orion's DCCs help you to hire future leaders for your organization, boosting key growth and development in your company. Our DCCs showcase the very top tier of Military Officers transitioning from Active Duty. These veterans have consistently distinguished themselves from their peers in their education, military background and performance.
