Orion Insights for Employers, Managers, and HR and TA Leadership

As the construction industry continues to face a chronic workforce shortage, the large number of service members leaving active duty each year has created a growing talent pool for skilled trades.

Are you spending too much time and money on turnover and hiring new employees?

Love is in the air! And as the dating scene goes, so go recruiting trends. So what is in store for those who have weathered ghosting?

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

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.

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.

In our newest case study, Orion Novotus is excited to share how QAD, a provider of complete, integrated business software for manufacturing companies, partnered with us to create structure, consistency, and stability in its talent acquisition process, with implementation across the business.

Veterans Day may have been Monday; but, at Orion, every day is about veterans! Founded in 1991 by five former Junior Military Officers to help veterans find meaningful careers, we are proud to continue our mission 28 years later. And we are thankful to partner with companies that understand the technical expertise and leadership former service members bring to their civilian careers.

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.
