Founded as Labor Services Inc. by Bill Guss in 1969, ALTRES began by connecting workers to on-demand jobs across Oahu’s warehouses, trucking companies, and naval shipyards. A blue flag raised from an office near Waikīkī Beach signaled daily work availability to surfers and job seekers. Over the decades, the company expanded its services, pioneering the outsourcing of payroll and employment administration in Hawaii during the 1970s. Today, ALTRES continues to grow as a trusted leader, supporting organizations with talent acquisition and HR management while maintaining a mission to make business simple for employers and job seekers alike.

The company operates from its headquarters at 967 Kapiolani Blvd in Honolulu, a central location on one of the island’s major thoroughfares. While the specific surrounding landmarks are not listed, the address sits within a key commercial corridor on Oahu’s urban core, serving as a hub for staffing and HR services across the state.
