Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) Ranks Actalent No. 1 in Engineering, No. 1 in Life Sciences

Third consecutive year Actalent tops the Largest U.S. Staffing Firms Report in both areas

Hanover, Md. (Aug. 19, 2025)Actalent, a leading engineering and sciences services and talent solutions company, has once again ranked No. 1 among engineering and life sciences staffing firms, as evaluated by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) for its annual reports, "Largest Engineering Staffing Firms in the United States" and "Largest Life Sciences Staffing Firms in the United States." This is the third year in a row that Actalent has ranked first in the engineering and life sciences categories, representing 10.5% and 15.3% of the total market, respectively.

Actalent’s continued presence at the top of SIA’s ranking reflects its strategy of providing specialised engineering and sciences contingent talent across a breadth of industries, including aerospace and defense, consumer products and technology, life sciences, transportation and off-highway, and utilities and construction. Actalent tailors its talent solutions to meet the unique needs of some of the largest players in these industries, bridging internal expertise gaps, driving scale and flexibility, and moving strategic projects forward.

“We’re proud to maintain our position as the largest provider of engineering and life sciences talent solutions—a distinction that showcases our ongoing commitment to investing in our talented consultants and industry-leading client service,” said Chad Koele, Actalent’s president. “In a year that has been challenging for many industries, I’m grateful to our clients for trusting us with their work. These rankings would not be possible without the deep relationships we’ve built, and expertise we’ve cultivated over many years.”

Earlier this year, Actalent’s staffing business earned a 2025 Best of Staffing® designation for consultant and client service by ClearlyRated, a recognition based entirely on ratings provided by consultants and clients.

Actalent’s expertise also includes outsourced and project-based services capabilities. The company’s Actalent Services business unit was ranked No. 62 on ENR's Top 500 list of engineering design firms earlier this year.
