New Jersey Distinguished Candidate Hiring Conference

Hire Top Military Officers through our New Jersey National Event

New Jersey Military Hiring Conference

Monday, August 28 - Tuesday, August 29, 2017
Northern New Jersey

Since 1991, our clients have told us that the most important factor in deciding to hire military through an agency is the Quality of Candidate. Our unique Distinguished Candidate Conferences are designed to recruit, assess, screen, and present the top military candidates for your hiring needs. In 2014, more than 170 client companies strategically hired Orion's Military Officers through our Distinguished Candidate Conferences, with nearly 50% making multiple hires.

Our Distinguished Candidate Conference enables you to develop a strong pipeline of future leaders and fosters strategic organizational growth.

Orion's Distinguished Candidates have been carefully selected and represent the very top tier of Military Officers transitioning from Active Duty. They are seeking careers in growth roles including Leadership Development, Operations Management, Engineering, and Sales.
