How a leading civil construction firm increased applications and grew its talent pool
Allan Myers is the largest heavy civil construction company and materials provider in the Mid-Atlantic with seven regional offices and 15 asphalt and aggregate plants. With a workforce of more than 2,000 hard working men and women, and their own extensive fleet of vehicles and equipment, there’s no job they can’t tackle.
With more than 75 years of history under their belt, they’re constantly growing and pushing themselves to take on new challenges that are bigger and bolder.
Their customers consist of private developers, general contractors, DOTs, government agencies, and military organizations.
Allan Myers prides themselves on being able to tackle any job. But when it came to building their own pipeline of talent, the company was struggling to break ground.
Their recruiting team struggled to hire high volumes of hourly craft professionals (CDL drivers, equipment operators, and carpenters), as well as salaried office professionals and construction management.
Without an applicant tracking system the recruiting team found themselves playing phone tag with candidates and inundated with incomplete applications on their career site.
iCIMS has completely transformed the way we recruit and onboard candidates. It’s now our one-stop shop to view new applications and keep track of past candidates to reach out to later.

iCIMS’ Talent Cloud made the entire Allan Myers human resources department more efficient, automating most of their recruiting processes and helping track candidates’ progress throughout the hiring journey.
Today, Allan Myers’ recruiting team gets new hires up and running more efficiently, giving them the ability to complete all required paperwork electronically before showing up on their first day.
Allan Myers also uses iCIMS’ Text Engagement to schedule interviews, remind candidates to complete applications, and send and confirm receipt of orientation information, all via text message. Incorporating text messaging into their recruiting strategy led to a 15-fold increase in completed applications.
Talent acquisition is a major focus of our CEO and executive committee. We invest in technologies and strategies, such as iCIMS, that help us hire the people we need to help the company succeed.
