Aerotek Named Largest Industrial Staffing Provider by Staffing Industry Analysts
Aerotek, a leading provider of workplace solutions across manufacturing, logistics, construction, aviation, facilities and maintenance, has achieved a landmark milestone — being ranked the No. 1 industrial staffing firm in the United States by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) in their 2026 annual survey. This recognition, based on 2025 revenue figures, marks a significant step up from the company's consecutive second-place finishes in 2023 and 2024.
According to SIA's findings, Aerotek captured 7.3% of the U.S. industrial staffing market in 2025, rising from 6.7% market share in 2024. The annual SIA survey ranks firms that generate at least $100 million in U.S. industrial temporary staffing revenue, underscoring just how competitive the landscape is across the dozens of companies vying for market leadership.
"Being named the largest industrial staffing company is not just about size and scale to us — it's about the impact we make every day for the businesses we support and the careers we help build."
— Tom Kelly, President, AerotekA Strategic Evolution Behind the Climb to No. 1
Aerotek's rise to the top position reflects a deliberate and sustained strategic shift. Over recent years, the company deepened its focus on serving clients specifically in manufacturing, logistics, construction, aviation, facilities and maintenance — sharpening its specialization rather than pursuing broad, generalist growth. This targeted approach, combined with scalable workforce models, gave Aerotek a distinct competitive edge in a sector where clients demand both speed and precision.
Central to Aerotek's model is its network of more than 1,000 recruiters backed by industry-leading technology. The firm offers highly customizable solutions — including high-volume recruiting, on-premise services, and outsourced workforce capabilities — enabling employers to scale their workforce quickly and efficiently in response to fluctuating industrial demand. It was under President Tom Kelly's guidance through 2025 that this transformation accelerated into measurable market leadership.
"Our priority has always been delivering the best possible service and outcomes for our clients and contractors, knowing that in doing so, outcomes like this will follow."
