Orion Insights

As we all experience travel restrictions, social distancing, and stay-at-home orders, Orion Talent has shifted our upcoming Hiring Events to our Virtual platform.

We invite you to peruse these new resource pages and get an in-depth look at who our candidates are and how you can go about hiring them.

Employee retention is critical, but the old days of handing out a bonus and conducting a performance review once a year are gone.

Orion Talent presents our 10 most popular blog posts of 2019.

Many Hiring Managers and TA professionals are busy fine-tuning their recruiting goals and budget for 2020, possibly even with an eye on a potential recession. With this in mind, Cory Kruse, President of Orion Novotus, recently shared five tips that companies should keep in mind with HR Morning.

In our latest employer resource, we explore Leadership Development Programs (LDP) in depth and the ingenious method they present for mentoring your company's next generation of leaders. At Orion, we have matched many forward-thinking companies, like Siemens, Ardagh Group, Nucor, Owens Corning, and Lutron with Junior Military Officers to fuel these programs and drive business growth.

The first step to better recruiting is to understand what it is costing you. And recruiting a new team member costs far more than you might think. Both internal and external activities affect your cost-per-hire. This ratio, the total dollars spent for sourcing, recruiting and staffing for the total number of hires during a specific time period, is an essential metric.

Thankfulness is a theme that deserves more than just a month. And in corporate culture, encouraging gratitude goes a long toward ensuring positive employee engagement. As long as this gratitude is genuine, it can have broad effects throughout a company in addition to engagement, including productivity and customer service.

Great; your star candidate accepted your job offer! You breathe a sigh of relief. That hard-to-fill position is dealt with! Not so fast -- Hiring a new employee is just the beginning. Onboarding is an integral part of the recruiting process.

Ghouls, goblins, and ghosts! It’s that spooky time of the year when children and adults alike don a new and often scary persona to earn tricks or treats. You may open your door tonight to a few ghosts, and, at Orion, that’s where we like them -- at your door, not in your recruiting process.
