This post explores the valuable qualities military veterans bring to the table and why their experiences can be on par with, if not surpass, the benefits of a bachelor's degree.

Here are 5 actionable steps Sarah says you can take to increase veteran retention and job satisfaction within your company.

A generic Careers website doesn't speak to veterans, since many are coming straight out of the military.

Orion Talent CEO Sarah Peiker recently joined Meghan M. Biro, Founder of Talent Culture, for a #WorkTrends podcast episode, Diversity, Inclusion & Business Success with Military Hiring.

Last month, Orion Talent gathered a panel of talent acquisition leaders and military veterans to explore the numerous and often surprising benefits of hiring military in our webinar, The Unexpected Workplace Advantages of Veterans: How to Leverage Military Success for Workplace Victory.

In their recent article for Recruiting Daily, Mike Starich and Tim Isacco, CEO and COO of Orion Talent, explore why Corporate America should hire Junior Military Officers (JMOs).

Regardless of the type of industry, companies are looking for one major quality when actively hiring - an individual who has a leadership acumen.

If you are transitioning from the military and looking for a civilian career, you’ve probably heard the phrase “soft skills” to describe the unique qualities that you possess that companies are looking for. But what are “soft skills?”

Over the years, I have talked with many thousands of Veterans getting ready to transition from active duty. A very small percentage of those people think they are interested in considering sales-related positions.

One of the first questions to cross a veteran's mind when they consider transitioning to the civilian world is when to begin the career search. Many veterans wait until a few months before they separate or retire. But, in most cases, the right answer is that it is never too early to start working with a military recruiting firm to find your civilian career.
