We had an urgent requirement for 3 site engineers in Jaipur. Altariya sent us profiles literally within 48 hrs. We hired 2 straight away, and the third within the week. Saved us a lot of time.— Priya Sharma, HR Manager, Anubhav Infrastructure Ltd.
Client Overview:
Anubhav Infrastructure Ltd stands. Founded over 80 years ago, Anubhav Infrastructure Ltd has been at the forefront of India’s infrastructure revolution — from building metro rail networks and power plants to mega dams and smart cities. Their engineering excellence and scale have earned them international acclaim, making them a trusted partner for government and private sector projects alike.
The Challenge:
In the first quarter of 2023, Anubhav Infrastructure Ltd won a high-profile contract to expand the Delhi Metro network — a project that demanded not just technical brilliance but incredible speed. To meet their aggressive project timelines, they needed to scale up their engineering workforce fast. Specifically, they had to hire 12 engineers across civil, mechanical, and electrical disciplines, all with specialized metro rail experience.
The catch? The internal recruitment team was already managing multiple projects and tenders, making it nearly impossible to handle this urgent hiring surge. Moreover, traditional hiring channels brought in large volumes of unqualified candidates, resulting in wasted time and effort. Anubhav Infrastructure Ltd needed a partner who could swiftly source, assess, and deliver candidates ready to join immediately — without compromising on quality.
Our Approach:
Deep Discovery & Alignment
Our team started by engaging with Anubhav Infrastructure Ltd project leads and HR managers for a comprehensive briefing. We didn’t just skim the surface; we dived into job descriptions, project goals, and team culture to understand exactly what the perfect candidate looked like. We made sure to identify must-have skills like metro rail systems knowledge, safety certifications, and software proficiencies, as well as soft skills like adaptability and teamwork.
Multi-Channel Targeted Sourcing
We leveraged a two-pronged sourcing strategy. First, we accessed our own extensive database of engineering candidates, focusing on those with metro rail and urban infrastructure backgrounds. Simultaneously, we launched laser-targeted LinkedIn campaigns aimed at mid-level engineers actively and passively seeking opportunities. Our outreach was personalized and compelling, ensuring high engagement.
Rigorous Screening & Video Interviews
Each candidate underwent a multi-step screening process: initial telephonic assessment, detailed technical questionnaires, and competency-based interviews. To save Anubhav Infrastructure’s time, we recorded video interviews of shortlisted candidates, highlighting key technical skills and communication ability. This allowed Anubhav Infrastructure’s hiring managers to review candidates at their convenience, significantly speeding up decision-making.
Close Collaboration & Agile Feedback
Throughout the process, we maintained daily touchpoints with Anubhav Infrastructure’s HR to adjust candidate profiles based on evolving project needs and feedback. We scheduled and coordinated interviews, managed candidate queries, and facilitated swift offer negotiations and onboarding.
Results & Impact:
Within just 9 days, we successfully delivered 12 highly qualified engineers, shaving off nearly 20 days from Anubhav Infrastructure’s typical 28-day recruitment timeline.
The new hires integrated seamlessly and contributed immediately to the project’s critical path activities.
Anubhav Infrastructure Ltd experienced zero attrition or replacements within the first 3 months, highlighting the quality and fit of our candidates.
Our service saved the client countless HR hours and significantly reduced recruitment costs, allowing them to focus on project delivery.
The Delhi Metro expansion proceeded on schedule, thanks in part to our agile recruitment support.
