Outsourced HR Consulting Helps Recruiting Efforts

Orion Recruiting, a financial industry recruiting firm based in Chicago, has announced a new practice area called Orion Consulting Services. The new offerings provide a range of Human Resource services for Orion's financial and trading clients - from the outsourcing of an entire human resource department to the writing of job descriptions, competitive salary analysis, evaluation of the firm's environment, and even the option to have a recruiter working on site throughout the duration of a particular candidate search.

By expanding its service set to include HR-based consulting, Orion presents a revolutionary type of recruiting that goes beyond simply searching for talent. Andrea Persico, President of Orion Recruiting, states, "We recognize the fact that a great many of our clients don't require full-time Human Resources staff - Orion's new practice area allows those types of firms to utilize our professional, high-quality services on an as-needed basis. We believe the industry has required this for quite some time."

Another facet of this practice area focuses on Orion's ability to setup, from start to finish, a firm's foray into the world of college & campus recruiting.

"Many of the financial firms are looking for top talent right out of school. However, to be effective at this type of recruiting, there's a great deal of planning, marketing and tactical execution that's required to ultimately be successful. This is where we come in - leveraging our specialized industry experience in the campus arena to get our clients high-quality hires. At the end of the day, most firms simply want to focus on trading, yet not neglect the other areas of their business. We feel our outsourced college-recruiting service will go a long way towards helping companies achieve those goals," Persico said.
