What Grupo Alcansa does

Grupo Alcansa (legal name Alcansa S.A.) is a Chilean privately-held human resources outsourcing company headquartered in Santiago at Av. Presidente Kennedy 5454, Vitacura, that delivers five integrated core service lines to enterprise and mid-market clients: Head Hunting (executive search operated through its AMR Chile affiliation with AMR International, a Miami-headquartered firm with a Toronto-anchored Mining and Natural Resources practice), Subcontratación (full outsourcing of recruitment, payroll, legal compliance, attendance control, and supervision), Servicios Transitorios (temporary staffing for seasonal peaks, replacements, and project work), Selección de Personas (personnel selection using evaluation tools and psychological assessments), and Gestión Digital. The company operates a proprietary 100% online platform called SGP (Sistema de Gestión de Personas) that administers contracted workers across multiple client projects, providing administrators, clients, and workers with real-time access to documentation and project indicators (staffing levels, turnover, accident rates, absenteeism, and production metrics) from any device.

The firm's revenue model is professional services-based: fees are quoted per engagement and vary by service line, scope, volume, and contract duration, with multi-year enterprise contracts as the standard cadence. GTM is enterprise field sales supported by a commercial team ([email protected]) and digital portals (Portal Cliente and Portal Trabajador). Customer segments span mining and natural resources, logistics, retail, e-commerce (handling seasonal demand for events such as Cyber Day and Christmas), industrial/gas, energy, and healthcare/pharmaceuticals, with 43+ named client logos on the website including Starken Chile, Air Liquide, Abastible, Cemco Kosangas, Laboratorios Maver, and Gasco.

Grupo Alcansa has been operating for approximately 15+ years under continuous ISO 9001:2015 certification, has received the Sello de Calidad Agest in 2024 and 2025 from the Chilean HR outsourcing industry association AGEST, and is pursuing Trinorma certification (ISO 14001 environmental and ISO 45001 occupational health and safety) with support from IST. Leadership comprises Gerente General Katty Zapata (elected to the AGEST Board in May 2024), Gerente Comercial Sofía Pascal, and Gerente de Personas Isabel Markmann. The company has no disclosed revenue, no funding rounds, and no parent or subsidiary entities, and operates without an international investor base.
