Our history
Skill builds upon the pioneering legacy and staffing expertise of sibling company Aquent, founded by industry veteran John H. Chuang in 1986. Aquent is an award-winning global staffing agency that specializes in the marketing, creative, and design space. Today, Aquent partners with Fortune 500s, SMBs, governments, and nonprofit organizations around the world, and employs 10,000 professionals annually.
We are a technology company as much as a staffing company. This unique identity means innovation isn’t just a goal; it’s the force driving us to push boundaries in recruiting. We don’t settle for incremental improvements. Instead, we challenge conventional wisdom and disrupt traditional approaches, reshaping the industry and setting new benchmarks for staffing’s future.
We believe diverse perspectives drive innovation and enrich every experience. Our commitment means actively fostering an environment where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute. From equitable hiring to cultivating belonging, we ensure opportunities are accessible to all, reflecting the diverse world we serve.
Exceptional talent deserve exceptional support. That’s why we offer a premium benefits package, unmatched in staffing. Think high-quality, employer-subsidized health and dental, paid sick leave, robust retirement accounts, and pre-tax savings. These aren’t just perks; they’re essential tools for securing top talent and reflect our deep dedication to talent well-being.
Our leadership in environmental sustainability is clear as a carbon-negative staffing vendor. Partnering with us, you’ll gain a powerful ally in achieving your organization’s sustainability goals. Choosing Skill means actively reducing your Scope 3 emissions—the indirect greenhouse gases within your supply chain—contributing to a healthier planet for generations to come.
