Client Testimonial:
“We needed to staff up an entire project management team in less than two weeks for a large interstate highway expansion. Altariya not only found qualified candidates, they presented them in a way that made decision-making easy. Their video interviews and detailed candidate profiles cut our hiring time in half. We met our deadline without skipping a beat.”
— Laura Mitchell, Senior HR Manager, Titan Civil Works Inc.
Titan Civil Works Inc. is a leading American infrastructure construction company specializing in highways, bridges, and public transit systems. Headquartered in Illinois, Titan has been delivering large-scale civil engineering projects across the Midwest for over 30 years. Known for their ability to execute high-complexity contracts under tight timelines, Titan partners with state governments and transportation authorities to keep critical infrastructure projects on track.
In late 2024, Titan won a high-profile contract for a $480 million interstate highway expansion spanning two states. The project had strict federal funding timelines, and staffing delays could result in severe penalties.
Titan urgently needed to hire 8 project-critical roles — including project managers, senior civil engineers, surveyors, and quality control inspectors — all with DOT (Department of Transportation) compliance experience.
Their internal recruitment team was already stretched thin on two ongoing bridge projects, and local hiring channels weren’t producing candidates with the right combination of technical expertise and interstate project experience.
1. Role Alignment & Compliance Mapping
We collaborated with Titan’s operations and HR leaders to define precise job requirements, including DOT compliance, OSHA certifications, and experience managing multi-state infrastructure projects.
2. Targeted Talent Sourcing
Using Altariya’s engineering and infrastructure talent database, we identified U.S.-based candidates with active DOT credentials and interstate project experience. We also reached out to passive candidates in our network who had previously worked on similar highway expansion contracts.
3. Pre-Screened Video Interviews
Every shortlisted candidate went through a 3-stage process — technical competency verification, compliance check, and leadership capability assessment. We recorded video interviews for each, enabling Titan’s hiring managers to evaluate communication skills and technical confidence without scheduling delays.
4. Real-Time Feedback Loop
Daily check-ins ensured hiring priorities stayed aligned. We adjusted candidate sourcing within 24 hours whenever feedback suggested skill gaps.
8 hires completed in just 11 days — cutting Titan’s usual hiring cycle by over 60%.
All candidates cleared DOT compliance verification without delays.
Recruitment costs reduced by 30% compared to traditional U.S. agencies.
Titan avoided a potential $250,000 federal funding penalty by starting on schedule.
New hires integrated seamlessly into ongoing planning and site work.
