Actalent, a leading engineering and sciences services and talent solutions company received a No. 1 ranking 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 fourth consecutive year that Actalent has ranked first in the engineering and life sciences categories, representing 10.3% and 13.5% of the total market, respectively.

Actalent’s ability to consistently rank at the top of SIA’s annual reports reflects its understanding of clients’ needs for specialized engineering and sciences talent across a wide variety of industries that are quickly being reshaped by AI, including aerospace and defense, consumer products and technology, life sciences, transportation and off-highway, and utilities and construction. Actalent works directly with clients to meet the unique needs of the largest players across industries, bringing institutional knowledge and expertise that moves strategic projects forward.

“Four years at the top of these rankings reflects something deeper than market share — it’s a validation of the relationships we build with both clients and the specialized talent we place,” said Tom Kelly, president of Actalent. “Our teams take the time to understand a client’s challenges and match them with professionals who can hit the ground running on day one. The combination of expertise and trust keeps organizations coming back to us for their most critical engineering and life sciences work.”

These distinctions build upon the accolades that Actalent’s staffing business received earlier this year: a 2026 Best of Staffing® for both Client and Talent satisfaction by ClearlyRated, a recognition based 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. 74 on ENR’s Top 500 list of engineering design firms for the 2026 calendar year.
