CalTek Staffing Earns Spot on Two Forbes 2026 Best Of Lists

SAN DIEGO, CA - CalTek Staffing, a premier engineering, IT, manufacturing, technical and machine learning staffing firm, today announced that it has been recognized on two of Forbes' annual best of 2026 rankings. The company has earned a place on both America's Best Temp Staffing Firms 2026 and America's Best Professional Recruiting Firms 2026, lists produced by Forbes in partnership with Statista based on independent surveys of external recruiters, in-house hiring managers and job seekers across the United States.

The dual recognition reflects CalTek's reputation for matching specialized technical talent with employers in industries such as aerospace, automotive, defense, semiconductor, medical and pharmaceutical, oil and gas and telecommunications. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in San Diego, the firm now operates throughout Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia and Texas, partnering with global leaders such as Siemens, Parsons and Illumina alongside high-growth startups.

"Earning a place on two Forbes lists in the same year is a meaningful endorsement of how our team approaches this work," said Archie Payne, Co-Founder and President of CalTek Staffing. "Both rankings are driven by feedback from the people who know our industry best, which makes the recognition that much more rewarding. We are grateful to every client, candidate and peer who took the time to share their experience with us."

The Forbes and Statista methodology evaluates recruiting firms across multiple dimensions of service quality, candidate experience and client satisfaction. Final selections are determined from thousands of survey responses gathered from industry insiders and the professionals these firms serve. A place on either list is widely regarded as one of the most credible third-party validations a staffing firm can receive, and inclusion on both is reserved for organizations that consistently perform at a high level across temporary and direct-hire engagements.

CalTek's strong showing in 2026 has been fueled in part by sustained demand for machine learning, robotics, software, MEP engineering and CNC manufacturing talent, where the gap between open roles and qualified candidates continues to widen. The firm credits its tenured recruiters, deep relationships with passive talent and a four-stage hiring methodology for the speed and quality of its placements, with most searches producing qualified candidates within 72 hours of contract signing.

"Our model has always been built on long-term relationships rather than transactions," Payne added. "When recruiters and hiring managers recommend you in a peer survey, they are vouching for the trust we have worked decades to earn. That is the recognition we value most."
