Where Diverse Talent Meets Opportunity
Our goal is to always hire and place the best, most qualified candidates. To do so, we’re committed to overcoming bias in the hiring process and intentionally recruiting, advocating for, and including exceptional, diverse candidates who reflect the communities where we live and work — both when serving our clients and hiring internally.

Our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Strategy
Highlights from our current plan
Our commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) will always be part of how Altis Recruitment does business. Our desire is to make a real impact, ensuring equal opportunity to meaningful employment for all.
We’re at the start of a long journey and will continuously evolve our words and actions with the intentional goal of integrating inclusion, fairness and diversity into everything we do.
To develop our DEI plan, we consulted with experts, gathered employee input during fireside chats, conducted an anonymous employee engagement survey, and more. The end result is a plan that focuses on three main pillars:
- Talent and Staffing
- Leadership and Belonging
- Client and Community:
For our team—and our clients
How We Champion Diversity in the Hiring Process
One of the key areas of focus in our commitment to fostering greater Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Altis is, of course, the workplace.
As part of our commitment, we’ve been more intentional about reducing systemic barriers to employment by incorporating DEI into every step of our recruitment and hiring process, both to build our own team and when working with our clients.
A key first step is teaching hiring managers about unconscious bias—preconceived notions that can have a serious impact on hiring decisions.
We’ve shared our top five tips to help you get started.
