Orion Insights

Once you have interviewed that candidate, you need to close the deal (often virtually).

Steve Casey, VP of Talent Programs at Orion Talent, had the opportunity to attend The Veterans Lounge, hosted by MediaTech Ventures at SXSW in Austin, TX last month.

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.

During this time of social distancing, virtual interviews are becoming the preferred method of interviewing for both employers and job seekers.

Hiring has changed for the short-term and has companies facing a need for surge hiring on a temporary basis.

In addition to meeting social distancing recommendations, virtual interviews are becoming a preferred method of interview due to ease of scheduling and budget friendliness for both the job seeker and employer.

CONEXPO-CON/AGG is in the books, and Orion Talent thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the opportunity to discuss the excellent fit between military veterans and construction careers in both our presentation and conversations.

This week, we’re proud to profile Eric Cila, a former US Navy Boiler Technician who is now a General Manager with Monroe Truck Equipment.

Marine, Police Officer, Account Manager, Pageant Contestant, and Philanthropist - these are a few of the titles Orion alumna Melissa Matis has had throughout her career.

The Construction industry presents an exciting and challenging opportunity for the right candidate. Transitioning military members and veterans are a natural fit for the Construction industry, which demands problem-solving, loyalty and onsite decision making, all of which are skills the military instills in its servicemembers.
