Orion's Featured Employers Rank Among America's Best Employers

As the nation's leading provider of best-in-class Military Talent Programs to organizations across America, Orion enables clients to attract, hire, develop and retain Military Talent. We work hard to attract companies from a wide array of industries for career opportunities for our Veteran Job Seekers.

We are pleased to note that several of our Featured Employers ranked among Fortune's "America's Best Employers." The companies on Fortune's "America's Best Employers" list were chosen through an independent, anonymous survey of 30,000 American employees working at companies with at least 1,000 people.

A few of Orion's Featured Employers on this list include BASF (#84), Siemens (#202), Ingersoll-Rand (#222), Honda Motor (#239), Phillips 66 (#342), and PPL (#354).

These clients have not only distinguished themselves in their commitment to hiring Military, but also by being chosen as one of America's Best Employers. They realize the value that Veterans bring to the workforce and continually seek to add transitioning and former Military service members to their ranks.

If you would like your company to join the ranks of these commendable organizations that value veterans in the civilian workplace, you can learn more about Orion's Military Talent Programs here.
