Staffing for new store openings
An opening date does not move. We build the team in time for it: associates for set-up and launch, and the leads who keep it running.

An opening team from day one
A new store needs two teams: the people who set it up and the people who run it after the doors open. We staff both. Set-up associates stock, merchandise and unload before opening day. Launch-week associates cover the front end, the sales floor and each department while your permanent team settles in.
Shift leads and supervisors keep an opening organized. We place them alongside associates so your store manager is not the only person directing a brand-new team.
Why openings use Alto
Built around your date
We plan backwards from opening day so people are ready when you are.
Set-up and launch covered
Stocking and merchandising before opening, then front end and departments at launch.
Leads included
Supervisors and shift leads keep a new team organized from the first shift.
A smooth hand-off
Scale the team down, or convert strong associates to your payroll, as the store settles.

Why Alto HR
A workforce partner that has worked the floor
Built by store operators
Founded by former big-box retail operators. We know the store floor, not just recruiting.
Local, not remote
Our office is in Miramar Beach. We can meet you in person and walk your store.
Ready on day one
Associates are screened and prepared before their first shift, so your managers are not starting from zero.
We carry the paperwork
Alto associates are our W-2 employees. We run their pay, tax forms and employment records.
What a client says
We were struggling with high turnover in our frozen foods section. Alto HR built us a reliable core team and handles everything. Scheduling headaches are a thing of the past.
Common questions
How early should we contact you before opening?
As early as you have a date. The more notice we have, the bigger and better-prepared the opening team can be.
Can you staff leads and supervisors too?
Yes. We place shift leads and supervisors as well as associates, which keeps an opening team organized from the first day.
Who employs the associates?
Alto HR does. Associates are Alto employees on our payroll. You direct the day-to-day work at your site, and we handle pay, tax forms and employment paperwork.
