While asking a lot of Orion and our CVRs this year, pulling on our resources across multiple regions. Throughout, though, I’ve found Orion to be accommodating and proactive in our efforts to provide suitable coverage across all our projects. The quality of CVRs has been generally excellent, and Andy McNair’s efforts at coordinating the team throughout have also been invaluable.

Just earlier this year, Ian Hunter of the Orion Group emailed me of another Senior Electrical Engineer role in Central London, UK.

Orion Partner Plus was a fantastic hire when we were looking for an Environmental Services Director for our Baghouse group. They stunned me when they found over 120 candidates, which they vetted down to 12-15, and selected one that we felt would be a great fit for our team. I would definitely use Orion again and very much appreciate their efforts.

Agent RJ McLeod

The recruitment personnel have been very effective at communicating with me about possible vacancies, keeping me updated on progress and dealing with any questions I may have.
