Our Story

Evolving to Make a More Advanced Future Possible

At Actalent, we bridge the past with the future, science with engineering, and people with what is possible.

Our company’s history began in 1983, when two entrepreneurs founded Aerotek to support the growing talent needs in the aerospace and defense industry, with a focus on contract engineering. Through strategic investments, the business quickly expanded into other industries and specializations, including lab and clinical. Specialized solutions were added with the integration of EASi engineering services, bringing with it decades of award-winning expertise in project-based and outsourced solutions.

But we weren’t going to let past success dictate our future. As science and engineering create change and innovation, we too must evolve.

In 2021, we refocused on our engineering and sciences core, forming a new company as Actalent to cultivate and support the people who make progress possible. Together, through a better understanding of your needs and collaboratively tailored services, we will create future success.
