We have also been fortunate to be recognized by the US Department of Commerce, with APC founder Roy Roberts receiving the award at The White House.
Like so many great companies, Alliance of Professionals & Consultants (APC) traces its roots to a humble basement. In 1993, APC founder Roy Roberts started his company from home, using his pool table to sort payroll.
The company quickly took off, and what began as a humble, home-based company has grown into a global powerhouse. But one thing hasn’t changed – our values.

At APC, we pride ourselves on being a unique partner for both our clients and professionals. Below are some key differentiators that set us apart from the rest:
Individualized Service & Live Support – When you call any of our APC locations, you’re reaching an in-house expert dedicated to helping you resolve any issues or concerns you may have. In fact, we’ve perfected this level of service so much so that we now provide it as a service offering to our clients! Never hesitate to contact our team for prompt, accurate resolution of HR, accounting, or other employment questions.
Specialized Industry Knowledge – Our recruitment team is highly adept at finding the best talent for our clients and their respective available positions. This can only be accomplished through our recruiters possessing a wealth of industry knowledge and knowing just what it is our clients need. For you, this means our recruiters will be respectful of your time and only share with you positions for which they know you’re strongly qualified.
Award & Recognition Programs – You work hard. And we at APC believe you should be rewarded for it! We have an entire suite of award & recognition programs, including our generous referral program and our Waya Award, which is driven entirely by nominations from our clients. The Waya Award is given quarterly; annually, we send the top performer (and a guest of their choosing) on an all-expenses paid trip!
Credibility & Value – Native American owned company, founded in 1993, our client retention is 3X the industry average. APC is a trusted core supplier to many Fortune 500 firms, such as IBM. IBM hiring manager surveys consistently show 90+% client satisfaction with APC.
Employee Retention – Our employee turnover is less than 1/2 the industry average – as a result of our best-in-class benefits and support and our employees’ passion for our clients.
Quality & Cost Savings – APC has proven its quality at the national and international level with our ISO Certification, year over year contract renewals & high client satisfaction results. Our relentless focus on process improvement and efficiency drive cost savings and high quality for our clients.

We maintain an active network of candidates to enable faster identification and selection based on skills, experience and culture.
Risk Abatement – APC isolates our clients from the risk of non-compliance issues. Over the last 20+ years, APC has undergone many governmental and client audits without ever having a single non-compliance finding. APC’s automated onboarding and offboarding systems ensures compliance with the client, the IRS, and Department of Labor.
Management Information – Client managers have on-line access to onboarding status, purchase order utilization, time sheet history, and invoice history for easy verification, internal audits and forecasting.

From the very beginning, our company’s focus has been on positively impacting the lives of others. One way in which we do so is by recognizing the efforts and contributions of our professionals as they positively impact our clients’ respective organizations, as well as APC itself. Here are some ways in which we do so:
The Waya Award is perhaps our most known recognition for professionals. On both a quarterly and annual basis, APC’s Waya Award honors a professional’s contributions and quality service to our client with special acknowledgement for their dedication and exemplary work.
Cherokee for “Wolf,” the Waya is a sacred animal to Native Americans and symbolizes family, teamwork, intelligence, dignity, respect, pride in work, loyalty, and success of a mission. Individuals who receive the Waya Award exemplify what it is to live these traits on a daily basis.
From the day our company was founded in 1993, APC’s purpose has been to positively impact the lives of our professionals, our clients, and the communities we serve. Our founder, Roy Roberts, knew the importance of giving back and we are proud to continue that work today!
Our two primary nonprofit partners are Healing Transitions and StepUp Ministry. Both of these wonderful organizations help facilitate and advance the livelihoods of their respective participants through workforce development. APC is proud to partner with both groups to positively impact the lives of the program participants and their families.
Here’s more information about each group and the support that APC provides:
APC has a rather unique affiliation to Healing Transitions that started several years ago in a very unexpected way.
Located just down the street from APC’s headquarters, Healing Transitions is, as their motto states, a place for recovery. Those battling addiction turn to Healing Transitions for a variety of needs. The organization does not turn anyone away from getting assistance, and they particularly focus on making sure these services are available to the under-served, homeless, and uninsured.
Today, APC’s close affiliation with Healing Transitions includes:
APC employee volunteers use their expertise for Healing Transitions participants readying to re-enter the workforce as they near graduation of the 1+ year program by providing them with resume writing assistance & interview coaching.
A bi-weekly computer lab is setup in an APC conference room where soon-to-be program graduates can easily complete online applications with assistance from APC career experts.
Why a pop-up computer lab? Because of the limited bus schedule, program participants going to the public library to use the computers there are unable to get back to the campus for recovery classes & workshops. Space is already at a premium in the Healing Transitions building, so APC’s pop-up lab (created specifically for Healing Transitions) gives the ladies a safe space to complete applications while providing a convenient location that allows them to get back to campus for requisite classes & workshops.
Ongoing paycheck deduction donations allow APC employees & professionals to give towards rideshare service gift cards designated for advanced-level Healing Transitions program participants. These gift cards help get individuals to and from job interviews, along with to and from work for up to two weeks after employment is obtained.
Additionally, an ongoing donation area is located inside the APC office, where employees know they can easily drop off supplies intended for Healing Transitions. A monthly supply focus is posted on an employee bulletin board to highlight current needs, should APC employees happen to have that specific item they can donate.
We also partner with our vendors whenever possible to provide further assistance. For example, APC holds corporate off-site meetings and hosts guests at a couple of hotels in the area. These hotels have generously agreed to donate their gently used pillows at year-end to supply Healing Transitions with an abundance of that much-needed item.
APC has a long-standing relationship with StepUp Ministry and very much believes & supports their mission to transform lives through employment and life skills training. With Wake County’s significant poverty level, the work that StepUp Ministry does is vital to helping break or mitigate poverty cycles and put individuals on trajectories towards more self-sustaining employment. That generational impact extends to positively impact the community at-large as well.
APC is proud to continue to be a financial contributor supporting this important work, as well as to give our employees & professionals the opportunity to get involved through payroll deduction donations. The annual donation amount received through the generous giving of APC employees & professionals increases by double-digit percentages each year and speaks to each individual’s belief in positively impacting lives!

Some of the opportunities to give back with which APC has been (and often continues to be annually) involved include:
Each year, APC’s Waya Award honors a professional’s contributions and quality service to our clients with special acknowledgment for their dedication and exemplary work.
