April yields the biggest intake of new ALTs, as this is when the Japanese Academic school year begins. ALTIA CENTRAL also hires ALTs during other times throughout the year, but these are rare, one off cases. Since ALTIA CENTRAL's recruiting efforts are ongoing through out the year, you can apply to be considered for an ALT position with ALTIA CENTRAL anytime.
