Founded in 1969 by Bill Guss as Labor Services Inc., ALTRES began by providing on-demand labor to Oahu warehouses, trucking firms, contractors, and naval shipyards. A distinctive tradition emerged when Guss would raise a blue flag across from Waikīkī Beach to signal work availability to surfers on dawn patrol. The company expanded in the 1970s by pioneering the outsourcing of payroll and employment administration for mainland companies with Hawaiian operations. Over decades, it evolved into a full-service HR and staffing leader, now operating under the ALTRES brand with specialized divisions for staffing, healthcare, and home care.

Located on Kaʻahumanu St in Ewa Beach, the business is part of a broader network of offices across Hawaii, including locations in Honolulu, Hilo, Kailua-Kona, and Kahului. While no nearby landmarks are listed, the company’s long-standing presence and consistent service across the islands underscore its deep roots in the local economy.
