Search & Recruitment

Orijin is an education technology company dedicated to preparing justice-impacted individuals for sustainable employment and breaking the cycle of incarceration. Through secure tablet technology and a cloud-based learning and communications platform used in correctional facilities across the United States, Orijin provides incarcerated learners access to educational content, job training, and tools that support successful reentry into the workforce

“Green Line felt less like an external search firm and more like an extension of our team. At critical inflection points, they brought deep expertise and initiative, owning every part of the search and delivering the right people for Orijin’s needs.

— Jan R., Orijin President

The CHALLENGE

Orijin faced a common challenge for growth-stage technology companies: hiring multiple roles across functions while ensuring a strong onboarding experience for every new employee.:

  • Speed mattered: The company needed to fill key roles across sales, product, engineering, marketing, G&A, and operations to support rapid growth and expanding partnerships.

  • Internal capacity was limited: Senior leaders and managers were responsible for both building their teams and continuing to execute on ambitious product and partnership goals.

  • Consistency across hiring and onboarding was needed: As hiring accelerated, Orijin wanted a consistent, high-quality hiring process and a structured onboarding experience to help new hires ramp quickly and integrate into the team.

The objective was to build a scalable hiring engine that could deliver strong candidates quickly while also ensuring every new hire started with clarity, structure, and momentum.

End-to-End
Search Execution

We designed and executed customized search plans for each role, including sourcing, screening, candidate evaluation, interview process design, and offer close. This allowed hiring managers to remain focused on running their teams while searches moved forward with speed and rigor.

Proactive Candidate Engagement

Rather than relying solely on inbound applicants, we developed targeted candidate lists and conducted proactive outreach to identify candidates with the right blend of experience, cultural alignment, and growth-stage mindset.

Process Design and Candidate Experience

We worked closely with hiring managers to structure interview processes, build interview kits, and manage candidate communication and scheduling. This created a consistent candidate experience while reducing operational burden on internal teams.

Structured Onboarding Support

Our partnership extended beyond hiring. For each new hire, we supported the creation of onboarding plans and provided guidance to hiring managers on how to structure the first weeks of a new employee’s experience. This included onboarding checklists, onboarding deck guidance, and regular preparation sessions with managers to ensure new hires began their roles with clear priorities and support.

Orijin gained a recruiting partner who could move with urgency, maintain rigor, and take true ownership of the work during a pivotal growth phase.
