Who you work for

When Alto places you with a business, such as a store, a hotel or a warehouse, Alto HR is your employer. You work at the client’s site, but we pay you, handle your taxes and paperwork, and stay your contact for anything about the job.

  • Your recruiter

    Helps you find the right job, explains the pay and schedule, and gets you ready to start.

  • The client’s manager

    Shows you the work on site and runs your shift day to day.

  • Alto HR

    Pays you every two weeks and is the place to call with any problem at work.

What you need to apply

  • A phone number

    So a recruiter can call or text you. Applying takes a few minutes on your phone.

  • The work you want

    The kind of job, where you can work and when you are free.

  • ID for hiring

    When you are hired, you show documents that prove you can work in the United States, for Form I-9.

Alto HR participates in E-Verify. We use it only after a job offer and after Form I-9 is complete.

Preparing for your first shift

  • Know your start time, where to go and who to ask for.
  • Wear what we tell you. If you need anything for the job, we will say so before you start.
  • Plan how you will get there, and leave extra time on the first day.
  • Save our number. If something comes up, call us before your shift starts.

Kinds of work

Most of our jobs are in stores, grocery, hospitality and warehouses: cashiers, stockers, produce and freezer associates, baggers, housekeeping and shift leads. Some are seasonal, some are year-round, and some can turn into a permanent job with the business. See the job descriptions to learn what each role involves and what it pays locally.

How it works

  1. Step 1: Apply

    Pick a job or send your details. A resume helps but you do not need one.

  2. Step 2: Talk to us

    A recruiter calls or texts you about the job, the pay and the schedule.

  3. Step 3: Get ready

    You complete your hiring paperwork and free Alto Ready training before day one.

  4. Step 4: Start and get paid

    You start your first shift ready, and you get paid every two weeks.

Common questions

Do I need a resume?

No. A resume helps, but you can apply with your name, phone number and the kind of work you want.

Do I have to pay anything?

Never. Alto HR never charges job seekers a fee.

How soon can I start?

It depends on the job and how quickly you complete your paperwork and training. Your recruiter tells you the start date before you accept.

Can I work part time?

Yes. Many jobs are part time or seasonal. Tell us when you are available and we match you to schedules that fit.

Can a job become permanent?

Sometimes. Some clients hire associates directly after a period of work. Your recruiter tells you when a job is temp-to-hire.
