Orion Insights

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?

The New Year is just around the corner. And there is no better time to start planning for your 2019 recruiting needs. Veteran unemployment is at a near-record low, and, as more and more companies leverage this top talent, it is important to stay competitive. Orion Talent Hiring Conferences offer companies the opportunity to do just that! Our 2019 Hiring Conference schedule is full of excellent recruiting events that combine networking, interviewing, and opportunity to assess our candidates.
