The Challenge:

In early 2024, Architeca approached Altariya Global Connect with a critical problem:
They were scaling fast, had six new residential sites starting simultaneously, but were unable to find the right talent to lead execution on-site. Their in-house HR team had exhausted local sources, and their projects were at risk of delay due to unfilled roles.

Open Positions They Needed Urgently:

• 2 Senior Site Engineers (Residential)

• 3 Junior Architects

• 1 Interior Project Coordinator

• 1 Civil Quantity Surveyor

• 4 Site Supervisors

• 1 Procurement Specialist

The timeline was harsh:
They needed 12 hires within 10 working days.

What made this challenge harder:

• All hires had to be Tamil-speaking professionals.

• They needed people with actual site-based experience, not just resumes.

• The hiring panel at Architeca rejected over 80% of applications received through job portals due to poor filtering.

• They insisted on pre-verified video interviews before conducting final rounds.

Altariya’s Approach:

Rather than just forwarding resumes, we built a project team inside Altariya to treat this like a high-stakes mission.

Day 1–2: Discovery & Custom Briefing

• Our HR leads had a virtual alignment meeting with Architeca’s directors and project managers.

• We understood their project culture, technical expectations, and past hiring mistakes.

• Created 12 detailed JD sheets that included not just skill requirements, but personality and team-fit traits.

Day 3–4: Sourcing Smart

• We deployed sourcing across 7 job portals, 4 Facebook hiring groups, and Altariya’s internal database.

• We also reached out to past candidates rejected by other clients but fit Architeca’s brief.

• We focused only on candidates willing to join within 7–10 days.

Day 5–6: Screening + Video Interviews

• Out of 629 applications, Altariya shortlisted 48 candidates.

• Each candidate went through a 20-minute recorded interview, covering:

  • Technical questions

  • Real project scenarios

  • Communication skills

  • Salary expectations and notice period

• Every video had a detailed HR note attached—allowing Architeca to shortlist quickly.

Day 7–8: Client Review & Interview Rounds

• Architeca shortlisted 18 candidates for final rounds.

• Altariya scheduled back-to-back Zoom interviews, and also handled rescheduling for 4 candidates.

• We provided the client with a Live Tracker Sheet, including resume links, videos, and HR notes.

Day 9–10: Offers & Closures

• 12 candidates were selected.

• We assisted with offer negotiation, document collection, and joining confirmation.

• 11 of them joined within 8 days—1 had to be replaced (done by Altariya within 3 days).
