Founded in 1969 by Bill Guss as Labor Services Inc., the company began by connecting workers to temporary roles at Oahu warehouses, trucking firms, contractors, and naval shipyards. Workers were signaled to report for work by a blue flag raised from an office near Waikīkī Beach. Over the decades, the business expanded to become a leader in HR and staffing, pioneering the outsourcing of payroll and employment administration in Hawaii during the 1970s. Today, ALTRES operates under multiple divisions, including ALTRES Staffing, simplicityHR, ALTRES Medical, and ALTRES Home Care, supporting clients across diverse industries with flexible staffing and comprehensive HR solutions.
