Contract hiring works best when it’s done with care. It’s not just about speed, it’s about finding people who can integrate quickly, understand the work, and add value right away.

We support organizations in navigating immediate hiring needs while maintaining quality, continuity, and long-term alignment.

• Pre-screened, ready-to-contribute: Candidates are thoroughly validated before presentation. Our <2% replacement rate reflects the care we take in every match — not just speed.

• Specialized expertise on demand: Project-based work, system implementations, digital transformation, and business-critical initiatives — we connect you with the right skill sets, including IT, finance, admin, HR, and professional services.

• Flexible support that scales with you: Contracts can span weeks, months, or longer. We adapt as your needs evolve — including the option to extend, end, or transition to a permanent hire when the fit is right.

• Responsive, relationship-driven service: You'll work with a dedicated recruiter who understands your environment. Communication is proactive, timelines are realistic, and you're never left waiting for an update.

• Full payroll and contract logistics support: We handle onboarding administration, payroll processing, insurance, and compliance, so your team stays focused on the work. Pass-through contractor services are also available.

• Contract-to-permanent pathways: When a contract hire proves to be the right long-term fit, we support a seamless transition, no awkward renegotiations or surprises.

• A diverse, qualified talent pool: Altis is a certified diverse supplier. We actively counter unconscious bias in sourcing and screening, ensuring every shortlist reflects the best available talent.
