Sizable investments warrant expert support, according to ORS Partners (ORS), an outsourced recruitment solutions firm that partners with venture capital and private equity backed companies to provide strategic talent acquisition programs. Since 2012, ORS has been providing employers in the Mid-Atlantic region the talent they need to build their businesses successfully.
Talent acquisition is a core business function for all growth organizations, yet most companies are not experts in the acquisition and retention of human capital. ORS is comprised of over 70 talent acquisition experts that become the outsourced, ‘in-house’ recruitment consultants and brand ambassadors for their clients. Over 140 organizations have trusted ORS to carry their business card and act as an extension of their team to deploy best practices in attracting and hiring talent.

In five years, ORS has helped ten clients successfully grow and scale their teams in preparation for liquidity events including: Whiptail acquired by Cisco in September 2013; Pet360 acquired by PetSmart in September 2014; iLEVEL acquired by Ipreo in June 2015; iPipeline acquired by Thoma Bravo in August 2015; Centrak acquired by Halma February 2016; IntegriChain acquired by Accel-KKR in March 2016; Operative acquired by SintecMedia in November 2016; MacroPoint acquired by Descartes in August 2017; Frontline Education acquired by Thoma Bravo in August 2017.
“We’re giving our clients the edge they need to succeed in a very competitive talent market – and within defined timeframes dictated by their growth goals and investors,” said Terry Williams, CEO and co-founder of ORS and venture capitalist. “With ORS managing and building out their organizations with world-class talent, our clients are able to grow intelligently and quickly to achieve their goals. Ultimately, our clients’ success is our success.”
Today, six of the ten companies still remain current ORS clients, including iPipeline, a leading provider of cloud-based software solutions for the insurance and financial services industry and ORS’ longest standing partner to date. ORS engaged with iPipeline shortly after they received $71.4M, a round lead by Technology Crossover Ventures in January 2012. At iPipeline, ORS is responsible for managing the entire talent acquisition process, including interviewing managers, creating job descriptions, determining sourcing strategies, sourcing candidates, screening candidates, scheduling interviews, gathering feedback, making recommendations and negotiating offers. In addition, ORS has created an employee referral program, hosted networking events, implemented talent acquisition process and tools and conducted hiring manager interview training at iPipeline. In the three years of partnership before iPipeline’s acquisition by Thoma Bravo in 2015, ORS filled 264 roles, decreased cost per hire by 55% and decreased time to fill by 41%.
“With ORS as our recruiting partner we have been able to consistently hire top talent while retaining and even improving our employer brand,” said CEO of iPipeline, Tim Wallace.
