From Hope to Results

AQRA International was founded in 2020 by a team with a track record of building successful global recruitment firms. We helped companies hire hundreds of civil engineers, but saw the same frustrations repeatedly.

Firms were stuck competing for the same talent, bombarded with random, unqualified resumes, and juggling multiple recruiters who weren’t truly invested in their roles. We built AQRA to change that, a focused, strategic search process that delivers the right hire, not just the most available one.

Focused Search That Delivers

Finding, engaging, and securing top talent takes time, but most recruiters don’t have the incentive to do it properly. Traditional, contingent recruitment rewards speed over quality, leading firms to follow the path of least resistance, relying on active job seekers, recycling candidates, and working on your roles sporadically, if at all.

At AQRA, we take a different approach. Our engaged search model ensures your hiring needs get the time, attention, and expertise they deserve.

🔹 Proactive Talent Mapping: We identify and engage the best candidates, not just those actively applying.
🔹 Direct Outreach & Engagement: We take the time to connect with top professionals and generate real interest in your role.
🔹 Commitment to Results: We work every search with focus and dedication, ensuring your role is a priority, not just another job on a recruiter’s list.

The Right Hire, The First Time

Our engaged search model isn’t just about a better process—it delivers real results for our clients:

Faster, more reliable hires: With a targeted, research-driven approach, we secure the right talent faster than traditional recruitment.
Better quality candidates: Every hire is rigorously vetted to ensure they fit the role, company culture, and long-term vision.
Reduced turnover & wasted time: No more sifting through stacks of irrelevant resumes or restarting the search when a hire doesn’t work out.
A true recruitment partner: We work as an extension of your team, delivering ongoing insights and market intelligence
