Client Overview:
Skyline Drafting Solutions, based in Austin, Texas, is a specialized architectural drafting firm that supports real estate developers, architects, and engineering firms across the U.S. with CAD drafting, BIM modeling, and permit-ready drawing sets.
In early 2025, Skyline landed three major outsourcing contracts in Texas and Florida, requiring them to expand their in-house U.S. drafting team rapidly—but with a very specific mandate:
“We only want verified U.S. citizens. No contractors. No overseas profiles. Full-time, in-office or remote U.S.-based talent only.”
Their internal HR team had already tried LinkedIn and Indeed, but found the platforms flooded with non-citizen applicants or freelance overseas profiles.
Skyline Drafting Solutions reached out to Altariya Global Connect after being referred by an architecture firm we had previously served. They wanted to hire full-time, payroll-ready American citizens for permanent roles—with background screening, drafting samples, and verified communication skills.
Open Roles:
2 AutoCAD Drafters (Residential Experience Required)
1 Permit Coordinator (Familiar with U.S. city permitting standards)
1 Revit Drafting Expert (Multi-family projects)
1 Administrative Assistant (Remote, but based in the U.S.)
Key Restrictions:
U.S. citizens only
Strong English communication (verbal + written)
Work-from-home setup but must be in U.S. time zones
Background verification and portfolio mandatory
To ensure seriousness and fast execution, Skyline agreed to Altariya’s 25% advance deposit model, making them a priority client for our U.S.-based talent acquisition team.
We activated a “U.S. Citizens Only” hiring sprint, filtered through ID-verified networks, remote-work portals, and our internal database of pre-vetted American professionals.
