The @Orchard Difference

We Don't Just Fill Roles—We Deliver Outcomes.

Most firms start with job descriptions. We start with what success looks like.

Our Performance Profile methodology defines measurable outcomes before the search begins—so hiring becomes a disciplined, outcome-driven process, not a transactional exercise. By combining modern automation and sourcing intelligence with experienced recruiters who understand your business, we deliver the right people at the speed critical initiatives demand.

Example outcomes include launching a new capability, stabilizing a transition, or staffing mission-critical roles under clearance and location constraints.

For HR, we deploy seasoned leaders fractionally to run complex initiatives and transitions—without the fixed cost of standing up internal HR teams.

Key Metrics

  • 5-10 days to first qualified slate

  • 80%+ offer acceptance rate

  • 90%+ six-month retention

  • 50% faster time-to-hire than traditional search

  • 20-40% lower cost than full-time HR overhead (while maintaining enterprise-grade coverage)

Metrics reflect historical performance across engagements; results vary by role and market conditions.
