Overcoming Hiring Challenges in a limited-resource industry

We've all experienced the painful process of finding, hiring and training our human resources when they are so limited, and our industry is experiencing growth.

Read the following testimonial from one of Live Assets' recent success stories:

Finding team members for construction mega projects with unique skill sets in today's market is a daunting task - especially for transit construction and rail systems disciplines.

My Operational Technology team had to scale my team from 5 to over 70 staff within the first 18 months of my 4+ years on the Eglinton Crosstown LRT P3 Project. Although we had an HR department, their focus was more around hiring for the civil trades. I needed teams to support the implementation of a variety of deliverables such as: Asset Management software, Configuration Management, Change Control, Cyber Security, Fire Alarm and CAMS (Central Alarm Management System), Data Warehouse, Management Intelligence (Power BI & Data Science), Building Automation & Control System, Digital Metering, and all areas of Systems Integration. My team interfaced with over 30 subsystems. Live Assets was key to the successful execution of my entire project portfolio.

Several of my colleagues also engaged with Live Assets to recruit many technically skilled staff and consultants to support other areas of the overall project delivery including: V&V (Verification & Validation), Systems Assurance, Communications Systems, Testing & Commissioning, and more.

Not only did Live Assets find the right people, but they also saved me and my HR team significant time, along with maintaining a consistently rapid turn-around time. Their ability to pragmatically pre-screen candidates allowed me to make quick hiring decisions with the final few candidates.

The recruiting time saved coupled with the ability to deliver my project portfolio on time to mitigate delay penalties was evident. I needed to build a high-calibre team and Live Assets consistently delivered for me.

Take the burden away from your internal HR team and yourself -- benefit from Live Assets' proven approach to rapidly recruiting those with in-demand skills!
