Orion ICS, LLC provides specialized military and veteran hiring solutions, coupled with Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) and expert recruiting services, to enhance talent acquisition for organizations across various sectors. Founded in 1991 and headquartered in Cary, US, Orion Talent specializes in connecting employers with military personnel and veterans. The company was acquired in December 2018 by L2 Capital and Lakewood Capital, which marked a significant transition in its operational strategy. The founder, Steve Amsden, has a strong background in recruitment, having previously established other ventures in the talent acquisition space.

Orion Talent specializes in providing military and veteran hiring solutions, Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), and expert recruiting services aimed at organizations seeking to enhance their talent acquisition strategies. Their core offerings include tailored hiring solutions specifically designed for employers aiming to capitalize on the unique skills and experiences of veterans. Key services encompass Military Hiring Conferences, which facilitate direct engagement with military candidates, and the HirePurpose® programmatic advertising that enhances talent attraction through targeted sourcing. Additionally, the company offers HireSkills® upskilling and training programs for industries such as Semiconductor, Logistics, Manufacturing, and Energy, enabling organizations to manage workforce development efficiently.

Orion Talent’s customer base includes a range of employers across various sectors, with a focus on clients in the United States who seek skilled military and veteran talent. Orion Talent generates revenue through its consulting and recruiting services, structured around partnerships with businesses in need of staffing solutions. Clients typically engage with Orion Talent through agreements for their RPO services, where organizations contract the company to manage their entire recruitment process, often on a project basis. The pricing structure reflects the scope of services provided, including fixed fees for hiring events or variable pricing based on the number of candidates sourced.

By leveraging their extensive network of military personnel and veterans, Orion Talent aims to deliver value to clients through effective recruitment solutions, thus enhancing their operational efficiency and talent acquisition success. As of December 2018, following their acquisition, Orion Talent is focused on expanding its offerings and geographic presence. The company plans to introduce new products aimed at enhancing recruitment processes for military talent and is actively pursuing expansion into new markets beyond the US, although specific regions have not been disclosed. The recent acquisition funding is expected to be utilized to develop these new products and to support expansion initiatives, enhancing their capacity to provide effective hiring solutions.
