Orion International Named No. 1 Executive Recruiter in Raleigh, N.C.


RALEIGH, N.C., Jan. 22, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Orion International, the single largest provider of military-trained talent to corporate America, is listed Number One among the Raleigh, N.C. List of Executive Recruiters. The Triangle Business Journal, which compiles and maintains the List as part of its Book of Lists publications, recently released the newest rankings. Rankings are based solely on the revenue range of the local Raleigh, N.C. office of Orion International as well as number of placements over a twelve-month period. Orion's Raleigh location has served as the company's corporate headquarters since its inception in January of 1991.

Orion specializes in presenting the unique leadership talents of former military personnel to the great majority of Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 companies. Orion developed a patented hiring format, the "Mini-Conference(tm)," which holds hiring events for single clients at a location of their choosing, and often brings selected military leaders right to the plant floors and offices of their clients. By holding close to 100 of these unique events per quarter, as well as nearly 60 larger National Hiring Conferences each year, Orion is able to provide a steady flow of leadership and technical talent to corporate America. In addition, Orion enables hundreds of direct-placement opportunities. Orion's current clients reported close to a 90% total satisfaction rate in 2001, citing the value of Orion's customized matching service and commitment to placing the right person in the right job, as the service that brings them back to grow their companies.

Orion's ten offices are located close to major military markets to offer a customized service to separating Military Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers and former Enlisted, enabling them to expand their job search globally should they so desire it, and place them permanently into the civilian workforce, where they remain in high demand. Operation Enduring Freedom has shown a bright spotlight on the daily commitments of thousands of military personnel, who manage and maintain billions of dollars worth of resources in combat and peacetime conditions around the world.

"We started our business because we believe in what the military does," said Chief Financial Officer Randy Nelson, a former Navy nuclear engineer, "and in the leadership qualities our candidates can bring to their jobs on the outside. Their success has fueled our success. We will continue to provide the best and brightest to corporate America, while keeping America strong."

Orion International is the single largest placement firm in America that specializes in military-trained talent, and is owned and operated exclusively by former military personnel.
