Recruitment for the Australian Meat and Food Manufacturing Industries

A boutique search and recruitment agency that are specialists in
permanent recruitment throughout Australia's Meat Industry
ESTABLISHED SINCE 2014
"Recruitment for the Meat Industry"
We assist Primary Processors (Abattoirs & Boning Rooms) and Further Processors (Value Added Meat, Ready To Eat & Smallgoods) within Beef, Lamb, Pork and Poultry employ their hard to find, permanent staff all across Australia.
OUR APPROACH
Orion Search uses social media, networking, talent databases, headhunting and online job boards to tap into as many people possible in order to find the right applicant. Advertising solely online will not reach all the talent possible.

As we work with a smaller number of clients across a wide range of positions, we can be flexible to both your needs and current market conditions. This approach allows for a true partnership to occur which results in high quality, consistent and personal service.
OUR STORY
In Greek mythology, Orion was a 'mighty hunter' that believed he could hunt anything that was made of earth. We chose to name our company Orion as the name reflected our desire to hunt talent, anywhere at anytime.

This desire to hunt talent, anywhere at anytime led us to incorporate an arctic fox into our logo. The arctic fox is an adept hunter, that can locate the precise position of prey 'hidden' up to 3 feet beneath the snow.

Our aim is to find this 'hidden' talent for you, just like the Arctic Fox.
OUR FOCUS
Finding the right professionals definitely doesn’t happen by chance. It happens through having the right software, a network across Australia's meat industry and the learnt ability to identify only the very best candidates.

Determined and driven, we are all about ensuring that our customers have access to the best talent available because we know the positive differences an employee can make and how they can help your company achieve their goals.
Who do we help?
As a result of our niche focus of the meat industry, we have an excellent network that covers the entire meat industry. What this means is that we have access to candidates that aren't on social media, aren't actively looking and have been referred to us that will suit your vacancy and add value straight away!
