Operations Supervisor

Midwest
US Navy, O-3

I couldn't be happier with the work Todd Phillips did for me, and I would recommend him to anyone looking to make a transition.  My needs were very specific, as I needed to be close to my family in Madison, Wisconsin, and Todd listened to my needs, rather than trying to talk me out of them like some other recruiters. He quickly found me the perfect job.

I am now the Operations Supervisor at an Ocean Spray plant.  My responsibilities now are very similar to those of a department head in the Navy. My military background did wonders to prepare me for a leadership and management position.  Not only do I have much more experience than civilians my age, I am accustomed to meeting a much higher standard.

Orion completely blew the competition out of the water.  I worked with two other recruiting companies at different points in my transition, and neither of them was capable of meeting my needs.  One treated me as if they were doing me a favor and used scare tactics to convince me to sacrifice my geographic needs in a new career.  Another recruiter ‘left the company’ a week before a scheduled hiring conference, and I was left high and dry.  I received no communication from the company until two weeks after the conference (which I missed), when someone new called to ask if I was still searching for a job. 

Needless to say, Orion had none of those problems.  Todd stayed in constant communication with me, working with me to find realistic opportunities that matched my needs.
