STAFFING THE PERFECT FIT®
Over the past 25 years Aerotek has grown from a small company to a
world-renowned staffing organization. Throughout this impressive growth one
thing has remained unchanged: our customer focus and commitment to deliver the
"perfect fit" candidate.
Today Aerotek is one of six companies owned by Allegis Group, a privately-held
network of staffing solutions companies. Aerotek operates nine divisions and
subsidiaries at more than 150 non-franchised offices across the United States,
Canada and Europe that provide specialized staffing services to a wide variety
of industries.
The following are highlights of the evolution of Aerotek – from its organic
growth, acquisitions and name changes.

growth throughout the United States, as well as expanding its services into
industries beyond aerospace and defense.
