The Benefits of Partnering with Orion Group

Why Clients Need Specialist Recruitment Agencies like Orion Group.

If you’re a company that is expanding, has a new projects in the pipeline, or looking for niche personnel, then take note that hiring new engineering and technical staff comes with its own distinct challenges.

You’ll have to overcome the very real talent shortage and skills gap in specialised fields, as well as the shortage of young professionals within an aging workforce (which is a whole new topic in itself). Then there’s the competitive market, with many industries fighting over the same limited number of candidates. If that’s not enough, you have the hiring process itself, which can be both lengthy and costly, and exacerbated even further if the hire declines at a late stage, or isn’t the right fit, resulting in starting all over again.

To overcome these challenges requires strategic, well-resourced recruitment processes, strong employer branding, speed, and flexibility. Hiring companies need to move away from internal hiring practices, job boards, or using high-street / generalist service providers, and turn to specialist recruitment agencies, like Orion Group.

Specialised agencies prove especially valuable as roles become more technical, and talent shortages drive demand for proactive, targeted, and precise recruitment strategies – something that generalist or in-house teams may struggle to deliver.
