Finding the right people is a constant issue in the fast-paced corporate environment of today. The inability of traditional employment agencies to adjust to the particular demands of each business frequently results in a mismatch between requirements and talents. After realizing this gap, Altum Staffing’s founder, Aamir Ajmal, set out to establish a new sort of hiring company. The story of Altum Staffing is one of creativity, compassion, and an unshakable dedication to putting people first, both customers and staff.
Aamir started his professional life in banking, but his love of human-centered solutions brought him to the staffing sector. Here, he saw directly the shortcomings of the models that were already in use. "Large staffing companies prioritized quick wins over understanding a client's specific needs," Aamir says.
"Their approach often resulted in a revolving door for employees, leading to frustration for both businesses and talent." Aamir's spirit of entrepreneurship was nourished by this gap between the industry's potential and its actual state.

Motivated by the goal of coming up with a better solution, Aamir came up with the name Altum, which is Latin for "high" and denotes a business that would aim for superiority in all areas. Customization would be the foundation of this perfection. With emphasis on "we reject cookie-cutter solutions," Aamir says. "Our approach is to tailor our services to perfectly match the unique talent needs of each client, ensuring a perfect fit."
But Aamir's goal went well beyond economic viability. He realized that a business succeeds when its people succeed. The tagline of Altum, "Happy employees, happy customers, happy stakeholders," embodies this people-centric mindset.
The road to becoming a successful firm is rarely easy, and Altum's was no exception. An important client's decision to relocate presented the business with a huge early setback. Aamir acknowledges that it was a setback, but they decided to use it as a teaching moment. We made use of the time to hone our strategy and make sure we could provide even better service."
The COVID-19 pandemic struck, posing a serious threat, just as Altum was gathering steam. There was a sharp decline in the need for staffing services as businesses closed. But what was evident was Aamir's steadfast spirit and his team's commitment. "We quickly adjusted," says Aamir. We concentrated on providing services that addressed the changing needs of our clients and staff by utilizing technology to stay in touch with them.
Altum has several key differentiators that help it distinguish out in the highly competitive staffing industry. Rejecting the notion of a one-size-fits-all approach, they meticulously tailor solutions to satisfy the particular needs of each client.

Prioritizing the health and welfare of employees is a fundamental tenet, and a prompt complaint resolution process is established. Since he is aware of how even minor issues may have a big influence on morale, Aamir himself emphasizes empathy a lot. The remarkably low turnover rate at Altum is a reflection of the company's focus on worker satisfaction.
"We prevent common employee concerns from developing into issues. We make certain that our team members get the assistance they require in the event of a medical emergency. We will make the call to resolve a claim with the CEO of an insurance company if that's what it takes. We will be there for them when they need us."
Altum understands how critical it is to establish trusting bonds with both their staff and clientele. They put money into making a productive workplace and cultivate a feeling of community. "We believe strong relationships are the foundation of success," Aamir says. "When our clients, employees, and stakeholders feel valued and respected, everyone wins."
As a ray of optimism in a world where profit is frequently prioritized over people, Altum stands out. Businesses in the staffing industry and beyond can draw inspiration from Aamir's journey and the company's key beliefs. By placing a high value on relationship building, employee well-being, and customisation, Altum is not only succeeding but also raising the bar for excellence.
Although Altum's journey is far from complete, the firm is well-positioned to positively influence the direction of talent solutions in the future due to its unwavering dedication to people and flexibility.
