Research shows referred candidates get hired at a rate of 30% compared to just 7% for applicants sourced through traditional job boards.
Today's employers face an unprecedented challenge: quality candidates no longer fill the top of the funnel the way they once did, rendering traditional job board strategies obsolete. Candidates have stopped downloading job board apps and browsing corporate career sites. Instead, they rely on trust, transparency, and referrals from their professional networks. In an era of Glassdoor and rapid Gen Z information sharing, employer reputation spreads faster than ever, demanding authenticity at every touchpoint. Companies that ignore online conversations or misalign their employer brand with actual employee experience risk losing top talent before interviews begin.

In this episode of the Time to Hire podcast, host Lamees Abourahma speaks with Diana Doro, VP of Business Development at Orion Talent and RPO Association founding member, to explore how organizations can build authentic employer brands that resonate across diverse talent pools. The conversation focuses on military and veteran candidates, the second-largest unique talent pool in the workforce, while demonstrating measurable effects on business through retention, time-to-fill, and quality of hire metrics.
