FAQ
Questions from employers
Short answers to the questions businesses ask us most.
Common questions
Who employs the associates you place?
Alto HR does. Associates are our W-2 employees. You direct the day-to-day work; we handle pay, tax forms and paperwork.
Do you use E-Verify?
Yes. Alto HR (Alto Etho LLC) has participated in E-Verify since May 1, 2026. We verify every associate we hire, only after they accept a job offer and complete Form I-9, as E-Verify rules require.
What roles do you fill?
Frontline roles in retail, grocery, facilities and warehouse work, office and professional roles such as administration, customer service, accounting, HR and IT support, and the leads and supervisors for each. We are expanding into hospitality, restaurants and vacation rentals.
How quickly can you staff?
It depends on the roles, the numbers and the location. We reply with a plan and a quote within one business day.
Are associates trained before their first shift?
Yes. Associates take Alto Ready, our training before the first shift, so they arrive knowing the basics of the floor. It is free for associates.
Do we need a long-term contract?
No long-term commitment is required to get started.
Do you offer J-1 and H-2B programs?
Yes. We run J-1 Summer Work Travel and J-1 winter programs with Department of State-designated sponsors, and H-2B seasonal programs for employers.
Can you guarantee J-1 participants?
No. Sponsors screen and select every participant, and we never guarantee numbers, visas or dates.
Where are you based?
Our head office is at 495 Grand Boulevard, Suite 206, Miramar Beach, FL 32550, and our second office is at 108 Bailey Dr, Niceville, FL.
Which cities do you serve?
Ten Florida Panhandle cities: Pensacola, Navarre, Fort Walton Beach, Niceville, Crestview, Destin, Miramar Beach, Santa Rosa Beach, Panama City Beach and Panama City. We are also preparing to hire in seasonal destinations in other states, such as the Jersey Shore, Cape Cod and the Outer Banks: see Where we're expanding on our Locations page.
