Orion Insights

We invite you to peruse these new resource pages and get an in-depth look at how we match your skills and career goals with opportunities within America’s finest companies.

This week, we’re proud to profile Patrick Byrne, a former Army Infantry Officer who is now a Human Resources Development Specialist with Thomas Built Buses, the leading school bus manufacturer.

Orion Talent is kicking off 2020 with our first Distinguished Candidate Conferences of the year. If you are a transitioning or recently transitioned Military Officer or Senior NCO with a Bachelor's degree, don’t miss one of these events!

Over the last 29 years, Orion has matched over 45,000 Veterans with rewarding careers, including more than 4,000 Marine Corps Technicians, and we are particularly proud of the high caliber opportunities we have available for our nation’s Enlisted USMC personnel.

Orion’s From the Battlefield to the Boardroom podcast is dedicated to supporting military job seekers throughout the transition process and beyond, by providing valuable insight and guidance from other Veterans and business leaders. Whether you’re planning your military transition or have already landed your dream job, our podcast covers resume assistance, interview tips, financial resources, relocation advice, and everything in between.

It’s that time of the year when we are all in the holiday spirit, listening to Christmas music, decorating, buying gifts for the ones we love, eating food galore, gathering with co-workers, friends, and family, and of course wearing ugly holiday sweaters.

It’s no surprise to veterans that they possess leadership skills, mostly learned from their time in the military. A recent study by the Center for Creative Leadership revealed that Army leaders showed a greater proficiency of core leadership qualities than their civilian industry leader counterparts.

According to a recent LinkedIn report, veterans are more likely to be underemployed than their civilian counterparts. While the unemployment rate for veterans is 3.2 percent (and lower than the national average for civilians), veterans still struggle to find a career that matches their qualifications gained in the military.

LinkedIn recently released their Veteran Opportunity Report, which highlights the current state of veteran employment and how challenging it is for veterans to find a career that properly utilizes all of the skills and talents that they received in the military. The report, pulled from LinkedIn data and additional insights, is helpful for both veterans and employers.

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday and reflect on all that we have to be thankful for, we want to take a moment here at Orion Talent to extend a special thank you to the servicemen and women of the military.
