What the sponsor does, and what we do
Sponsors run the J-1 program. They screen and select every participant and handle program documents and participant orientation.
We work alongside them: we review your roles, match you with a sponsor, prepare the host employer paperwork and arrange housing, transportation and support.

Clear roles
Sponsors select participants and run orientation; we handle everything around your program.
One coordinator
We coordinate between you and your sponsor through the season.
How it works

Step 2: Match a sponsor

Step 3: Work together
We coordinate between you and the sponsor through the season.
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
The team at Alto HR understands retail. They’ve worked the floor themselves. That shows in every associate they send us: no learning curve, just results from day one.
