ATR International is committed to delivering next-generation recruiting that enables businesses and communities to thrive. By bringing passion for excellence, trust, and inclusion to every interaction, we build deep connections with our clients, contractors, internal staff, and local markets to drive long-term mutual success. Founded in 1988 as a two-person, Hispanic-owned company, ATR is now a widely renowned technical staffing and consulting leader. Our firm has grown to serve a range of companies—from startups to Fortune 500 organizations—while putting more than 35,000 people to work, totaling over 14 million working hours. And we support a plethora of industries, from IT, engineering, and finance to healthcare, insurance, and retail. Our woman-led, minority-owned firm welcomes fresh perspectives, and our efforts have earned us WBENC Certification—the most prestigious national recognition for women-owned businesses in the U.S. Today, ATR remains one of the most diverse firms in the staffing industry. Reach out to learn how we can support your staffing or job search needs, no matter your background.

October starts today. If your headcount plan is already set for the rest of the year and the work keeps growing, it’s worth asking who actually has to employ the people you bring on.

When you add contingent talent through ATR, we’re the employer. We manage payroll, benefits, compliance, and employment administration. Your team directs the work, and the people doing it don’t add to your direct headcount.

It’s the least talked-about part of staffing, mostly because when it’s done well, nobody notices. Payroll runs on time, benefits are in place, and every compliance question already has an owner. That’s what lets someone start quickly without the employment details becoming your team’s problem.

Send us a DM if your year-end plan needs more hands than headcount.

In defense hiring, the signed offer is often where the longest wait begins.

For the fastest 90% of cases, an initial Top Secret clearance averaged 205 days end to end across the federal government in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, according to the Performance Accountability Council. An initial Secret averaged 92 days. The council's newest report shows those times improving since, which is good news. Even an improved clock is still measured in months.

That's a long time to hold a seat open on a program with a delivery date, and no staffing partner can make that clock run faster. What a partner can do is make sure none of it gets spent on someone who was never going to qualify.

That's why eligibility belongs at the very top of the funnel, not after the interviews go well. On an ongoing engagement supporting two classified government programs, we verified citizenship requirements before any candidate reached the hiring team. Twenty five positions later, the fill rate is 100% with zero compliance failures.

How far ahead of the start date is your team planning for clearance time on open roles?

09/23/2026

Being good with people isn’t the bar for joining our recruiting team. It’s the minimum.

What we actually screen for is whether someone can sit with a stressed hiring manager, an anxious candidate, and a compliance requirement that doesn’t bend, all in the same afternoon, and keep every one of those conversations honest.

That’s harder than it sounds, and it’s why our recruiters specialize by industry instead of juggling whatever role comes in that week. Depth in one space beats speed across five.

If that’s how you’d want to be represented in a job search, or how you’d want your open roles staffed, we should talk.

Banks, credit unions, and fintechs get grouped together as financial services, but the roles behind that label cover a wide range of needs.

ATR’s site describes this work as helping those institutions keep up with rapid digital evolution and regulatory requirements. In practice, that spans roles focused on building or modernizing systems, and roles focused on keeping those systems compliant, often within the same institution at the same time.

Recognizing that range matters when building a hiring plan for financial services work.

A shortage projected for 2028 may sound distant, but workforce decisions made now will shape how prepared each organization is for it.

HRSA’s National Center for Health Workforce Analysis projects that the national supply of registered nurses will meet 92 percent of demand by 2028, a shortfall of roughly 267,000 full time equivalent RNs. The same projection puts licensed practical nurse supply at 83 percent of demand that same year. These are projections, not a count of today’s staffing.

The value of a projection is having time to prepare. Healthcare employers can review recurring vacancies, retention concerns, and difficult to fill roles before workforce pressure increases.

Save this if workforce planning is part of your role.

Save the date. On September 22nd, ATR will be a Platinum Sponsor of IT Services and Staffing Industry Day in San Francisco, hosted by the Small Business Input Committee of the Western Regional Minority Supplier Development Council.

The event brings together procurement leaders, contingent workforce heads, MSPs, and supplier diversity champions for a real conversation about where staffing and IT services are headed.

We are proud to sponsor this one and look forward to being part of the conversation.

Mark your calendar if you are planning to be in San Francisco on the 22nd.

September 14th marks 38 years since ATR International opened its doors in Silicon Valley in 1988.

A lot changes in that much time. What has stayed the same is the motto our founders set from the start: making the world a better place, one job at a time.

Thirty eight years in, that is still the goal every day.

Thank you to the employees, clients, and candidates who have been part of this. Explore our story and see what 38 years of ATR has built.

Twenty-five years ago today, thousands of people went to work and didn’t come home. We don’t have anything to sell today, and this isn’t the place for it. Today is for remembering the victims of September 11th, the first responders who ran toward it instead of away, and the families who have carried this every year since. Never forget.

Policy doesn’t usually announce itself before it becomes a requirement. It shows up first in a committee room, months or years before it reaches anyone’s desk as a mandate.

That’s the reason ATR’s involvement in organizations like CSP isn’t a nice-to-have. Our CEO, Andrea Brenholz, serves on CSP’s board, and that seat is what puts ATR in the room while policy is still being worked out, not just reacting once it’s final.

This year’s CSP Executive Summit theme is California leading the future of staffing. After the year the industry just had with SB 1032, that theme lands as an accurate description more than a marketing line.

It’s happening at Caesars Republic in Lake Tahoe. If you run a staffing firm in California, or you’re tracking where this industry is headed, this is worth your time.

Labor Day exists because of the people who show up, do the work, and keep things running. That’s who we think about today.

At ATR, connecting people to the right roles is the whole job. So today isn’t about us. It’s a thank you to the workforce, the ones on the floor, in the office, on the road, wherever the work is happening.

Happy Labor Day from everyone at ATR International. 🇺🇸
