The word is out. Military leaders make excellent employees and quickly rise through the ranks at civilian companies. Their experience, leadership, and commitment are unparalleled, making them a hot commodity on the job market. The key to accessing this outstanding talent is to reach them before they transition out of the service, and a National Distinguished Candidate Conference (DCC) from Orion Talent provides just that opportunity.
