Actalent Designated as a Leader in Everest Group's US Engineering Contingent Talent and Strategic Solutions PEAK Matrix® Assessment

Research firm gives top scores to Actalent's portfolio mix and value delivered

Hanover, Md. (Oct. 18, 2023) – For the second year in a row, Actalent has been named a Leader in engineering workforce solutions by Everest Group in the research firm's US Engineering Contingent Talent and Strategic Solutions PEAK Matrix® Assessment. One of only four companies recognized as a Leader by the report, Actalent was also categorized first in market impact for the second year in a row. Market impact is defined by three core factors: the company's portfolio mix, value delivered, and overall market adoption.

The assessment, based on research conducted by Everest Group in 2023, provides a market overview of 22 engineering staffing providers and analyzes areas in which they have differentiated themselves amid a tight labor market fueled by employee turnover and a dearth of skilled labor. Everest Group leveraged its proprietary Transaction Intelligence (TI) database, service providers' public disclosures, interaction with buyers, as well as privately disclosed information from Actalent in its assessment.

"Actalent has made significant market impact and showcased robust capabilities across the breadth of engineering skills, especially in software product, embedded systems, and manufacturing, which has helped to position it as a Leader on Everest Group's US Engineering Contingent Talent and Strategic Solutions PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2023," said Priyanka Mitra, vice president, Everest Group. "Actalent's continued focus on expanding managed services capabilities, especially in the digital engineering realm, rapid investments in technology, and a strong focus on DEI has solidified its position."

"To be recognized once again as a Leader by Everest Group is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team," said Chad Koele, Actalent's president. "Actalent was created to meet the growing need for specialized engineering and sciences solutions and serve the unique demands of STEM professionals. Since then, we've evolved into a world-class services organization offering a broad array of talent solutions."

"We were thrilled by last year's Everest Group recognition as a Leader and since then, have continued to bolster our diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) efforts, improve our technological offerings for consultants, and expand our offshore services delivery capabilities," continued Koele. "We will continue connecting premier talent with best-in-class organizations around the world—and for years to come."

In February, Actalent launched a new app to enhance the experience of current and former consultants by allowing them seamless mobile access to the firm's Talent Community Portal. This year, the firm also officially launched its DE&I webpage and strengthened its offshore capabilities through a partnership with India's Central Manufacturing Technology Institute to offer enhanced manufacturing services to global clients.
