What Hirepurpose does

Hirepurpose is a B2B military veteran sourcing and talent attraction solution operated as a service brand by Orion Talent (legal entity Orion ICS, LLC). The platform connects enterprise employers, primarily Fortune 100 companies across aerospace, technology, healthcare, energy, logistics, financial services, and hospitality, with the approximately 200,000 U.S. service members who transition out of the military each year. Its core technology is a proprietary military candidate database built over more than 30 years, combined with a military-focused job distribution network, on-base representation to active duty personnel, and partnerships with military transition offices.

The Hirepurpose product surface comprises a core "Military Sourcing and Talent Attraction" solution augmented by sub-products including the Military Jobs Distribution Network, Programmatic Job Advertising, Employment Branding evaluation, Source & Screen, Marketing Outreach & Content Creation, and On-Base Representation. These components collectively enable employers to push job postings from their ATS or careers site into military-focused talent networks and to receive pre-qualified, screened candidate slates. The company holds registered trademarks for Hirepurpose and Battlefield to the Boardroom (a veteran-transition podcast).

Hirepurpose generates revenue through B2B professional services fees for talent attraction, job distribution, and employer branding engagements sold directly to enterprise HR and talent acquisition teams. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is delivered through consultation-based custom quotes tied to employer hiring volume and goals. The company is privately held under the Orion ICS, LLC corporate umbrella, with Sarah Peiker as CEO of Orion Talent and no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or institutional investment. Recent analyst recognition includes #1 ranking in HRO Today's 2025 Baker's Dozen for RPO (Midsize Deal) and Major Contender status in Everest Group's 2025 Global RPO PEAK Matrix.
