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

Orion Talent is excited to announce the launch of Call To Order, a weekly podcast featuring two Army veterans discussing a variety of recruiting trends and the value veterans bring to the civilian business world.

Retaining the best-performing employees is valuable for any company. Those with high employee engagement usually enjoy success and are more profitable. Let’s see how you can plan recruitment strategies and witness a high retention rate.

When in comes to strategic recruiting, there really isn’t any type of formal body in the recruiting industry that codifies established practices. That means that most recruiting leaders are pretty much making it up as they go, rather than following a defined set of principles.

In his most recent article for Recruiting Daily, Mike Starich, CEO of Orion Talent, examines the prospect of a recession within the next year and what that means for the recruiting industry. The article, “Recruiters Preparing for the Recession of 2020,” explores how recruiters can be part of the solution rather part of the problem, by providing four ways to prepare in advance.

Success can be measured in many different ways, whether through an acquisition to create something stronger, or by data and metrics that capture a snapshot of growth in a program.

Earlier this month, HRO Today Magazine and Orion Novotus released the Global Employment - 1Q 2019 report, designed to provide global labor market intelligence employers can use to inform critical decisions around the best countries and regions in which to grow.

Is high time-to-fill affecting your company? Time-to-fill is the number of days between a requisition's launch date and offer acceptance date. Hiring Manager frustration, current employee workload and productivity, and recruiting costs are all negatively impacted as time-to-fill increases.

Orion Talent has amassed a great deal of knowledge and expertise in our nearly 30 years in business, and we are continually investing our time and resources in thought leadership, striving to become greater subject matter experts in our field.

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?

“Where do you see yourself in five years?” “What is your biggest weakness?” These types of interview questions may be contributing to the revolving door of employees your company is experiencing. Companies lacking an effective interviewing strategy risk high turnover. Increased turnover leads to increased costs and shared burden, as well as decreased morale and productivity. As demonstrated by our recent infographic, it is estimated that this type of turnover costs between 100% to 300% of an employee’s salary.
