Choose Aerotek if:
You need high-volume staffing across multiple industries at once, you run an enterprise MSP or VMS program, and a single national vendor for everything matters more than trade depth.
Both companies place electricians. One is a giant generalist that staffs nearly every industry; the other is a specialist built for electrical and data center work. Here is an honest breakdown.
You need high-volume staffing across multiple industries at once, you run an enterprise MSP or VMS program, and a single national vendor for everything matters more than trade depth.
You need electrical workers for commercial, industrial, or data center projects, you want to talk to the people running the operation, and you need a crew on site fast: quotes in 2 hours, boots on site in 24.

Fair is fair: Aerotek is one of the biggest names in staffing for a reason, and at enterprise scale that machinery matters.
Electrical and data center staffing is our core specialty, backed by the full skilled trades. When a GC needs journeymen for a commissioning push, we are pulling from a network built for exactly that work.
Projects do not wait on sourcing cycles. Quotes come back in about 2 hours and crews are typically on site within 24, because we already know who is available and what they run.
At a large firm, requests can move through several account layers before reaching a decision-maker. Here you talk to the people who make the call, so questions get answered and problems get fixed the same day.
The difference between a journeyman who has run data hall feeders and one who has only done residential is obvious to us, because placing that difference is all we do.
The fastest way to lose your trust is to pretend we staff every industry. We don’t.
If you are hiring across ten industries and want one vendor to manage it all, Aerotek’s scale makes sense. If you are a contractor or owner who needs electrical talent on a schedule, a focused specialist may be the simpler fit. Aerotek’s strength is breadth; ours is focus.

See if your business qualifies for net terms. We front the crew, you pay later. We answer 24/7, and most quotes come back within 2 hours.
