Retained Search Services

Retained Search and Executive Search Specialists

Unlocking Top Talent, Delivering Peace of Mind

At Orion Group, we understand how difficult it can be to find reliable, specific, and talented permanent staff, especially with a talent shortage. 

Skills mismatches can further exacerbate this, how time-consuming the process can be, and the associated costs. That’s why we have a specific focus on identifying and hiring permanent staff for you as part of our retained service for qualified technical and engineering professionals, as well as carrying out executive search capabilities.

Our clients vary from international blue chip companies covering a range of industry sectors like Manufacturing, Filtration, Industrial, Water, and Nonwovens. Our retained search services ensure that you have nothing but the best when it comes to hiring.

More than anything, you are guaranteed peace of mind. Orion have a proven track record of delivering the talent you need without the fuss. By forging a long-term partnership with us, we get to understand you more and build stronger relationships, leading to better understanding of your company culture, current and future needs.

Partner with the Retained Search Experts

PartnerPlus provides access to a wider pool of talent, including those who may not be actively job seeking, allowing for a more personalised and thorough search process. Explore the Orion difference with PartnerPlus...

number 1
Higher Success Rate

Retained search recruitment demonstrates significantly higher success rates compared to contingent searches. At Orion, our focused approach means we can concentrate on your needs directly and conduct a more dedicated and thorough search of our talent pool.

number 2
Targeted Talent Selection

Our retained recruitment searches focus on thorough talent selection, often targeting passive candidates and employing extensive screening processes to identify top-tier professionals and executive searches who align closely with your organisation's culture and specific role requirements, guaranteeing only the best candidates are selected.

number 3
Industry Expertise

With our industry experts, we can leverage deep industry experience to map out markets in detail, access passive talent pools, and provide valuable market intelligence, enabling us to identify and attract top-tier candidates for specialised roles.

number 4
Build Lasting Relationships

At Orion, we want to build a strong relationship with our partners, collaborating with them to navigate the selection process by drawing on our experience, knowledge, and unique market intelligence. That way, we ensure we hire the right person, rather than the most available.

PartnerPlus – Solving your toughest hiring challenges

Finding the right specialist talent in industries like Filtration, Energy and Non-Wovens can be slow, expensive and frustrating. Vacancies drag on, the right skills seem out of reach and offers don’t land. PartnerPlus exists to remove those barriers for market leaders by delivering guaranteed results and market insight.

Sitting between standard contingent recruitment and traditional retained search, PartnerPlus moves beyond outdated methods like scanning job boards. Instead, we deliver a proactive, tailored service that focuses on high-quality candidates and industry-specific expertise.

Key roles sitting open for weeks or months disrupt projects and cost money. PartnerPlus offers faster hiring with guaranteed shortlists in 7 to 10 days, backed by dedicated subject matter experts in your sector.

The best people are rarely on job boards. PartnerPlus approaches the market directly and manages a passive talent pool to uncover candidates you wouldn’t normally see, giving you access to hidden expertise in Filtration, Energy and Non-Wovens.

Guessing at salaries or working with unclear terms can make hiring riskier. PartnerPlus provides market intelligence and salary benchmarking so you can make competitive offers with confidence. Our failsafe, transparent fee structure and nominal instruction fee create a committed relationship that works.

A bad hire costs time and money. PartnerPlus focuses on cultural and organisational fit, uses psychometric testing where appropriate and provides a consultative, results-driven service at every stage to reduce turnover and strengthen your team.
