Success can be measured in many different ways, whether through an acquisition to create something stronger, or by data and metrics that capture a snapshot of growth in a program.

Earlier this month, HRO Today Magazine and Orion Novotus released the Global Employment - 1Q 2019 report, designed to provide global labor market intelligence employers can use to inform critical decisions around the best countries and regions in which to grow.

Is high time-to-fill affecting your company? Time-to-fill is the number of days between a requisition's launch date and offer acceptance date. Hiring Manager frustration, current employee workload and productivity, and recruiting costs are all negatively impacted as time-to-fill increases.

Earlier this month, Orion hosted a live #OrionChat on Twitter with Lee Temple, Sales Manager at Schlumberger, and Steve Casey, VP of Client Solutions at Orion Talent, about veterans in the oil and gas industry. The chat was a vibrant discussion with important takeaways for companies in the oil and gas industry considering hiring veterans.

Thanks to a wide array of online platforms, today’s job seekers have many ways to quickly apply to a variety of positions. This, coupled with a very low unemployment rate, means it is more important than ever to engage newly hired candidates from the very beginning and rethink your onboarding strategy.

If you are like most employers, you realize the many benefits of hiring veterans, know that the quality of military candidates is second to none, and aim to incorporate veterans into your hiring initiatives. You know that veterans possess experience, training, and education that is unmatched by their peers. But, do you know how to best reach this talent?

“Where do you see yourself in five years?” “What is your biggest weakness?” These types of interview questions may be contributing to the revolving door of employees your company is experiencing. Companies lacking an effective interviewing strategy risk high turnover. Increased turnover leads to increased costs and shared burden, as well as decreased morale and productivity. As demonstrated by our recent infographic, it is estimated that this type of turnover costs between 100% to 300% of an employee’s salary.

Does your company’s hiring process lack structure? Do you need a slate of quality candidates from which to hire? Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) through Orion Novotus, an Orion Talent company, is the answer.

A recent blog post on Social Talent titled, “Use Employer Branding to Build Outstanding Talent Pipelines” explores a key aspect of Brand Marketing and Outreach. In his article, author William Ryan writes, “According to a recent poll by Glassdoor – 84% of candidates would leave their current position for a company with a great employer brand.” This is an impressive stat that drives home the importance of a proactive recruiting program that implements Brand Marketing.
