The business is recognized as Hawaiʻi’s #1 Staffing Company and has been a leader in staffing and human resources for over five decades.

From its origins in 1969 as Labor Services Inc., founded by Bill Guss, the company began by offering on-demand work to O‘ahu warehouses, trucking firms, contractors, and naval shipyards. Workers were once signaled to report for work via a blue flag raised from an office near Waikīkī Beach, a practice rooted in the island’s early labor culture. Over time, the company expanded its services, pioneering the outsourcing of payroll and employment administration for mainland companies operating in Hawai‘i. This foundation evolved into a full-service staffing provider with a broad reach across industries and roles, emphasizing local talent and reliable staffing solutions.

The company operates on Kaʻahumanu St in Kaneohe, HI, serving the broader O‘ahu community with a long-standing commitment to connecting people with opportunities. As Hawaiʻi’s largest staffing company, ALTRES is known for its enduring presence, deep roots in the local workforce, and consistent support for both jobseekers and employers across diverse sectors.
