Our Company History

Action Technology was incorporated in October 1982 with a very simple mission statement: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” The founders wanted a company where employees and clients would be treated with respect and kindness. A safe place where everyone knows they will be heard and understood.

Matter of fact if you worked for Action Technology back in the early years and even today you would realize that everyone is important
and worthy of respect and kindness.

And yes, this is still our philosophy.

• We wanted a vision that would inspire people to do their best no matter their circumstances.
• We believed and still believe in strong interactions and rubbing shoulders with one another. A real team approach like iron sharpens iron.
• We wanted and still want every team member of Action Technology to find deeper meaning and purpose in their work.

And yes, you will probably notice that we are a little old fashioned. We like a personal touch. All clients and employees are encouraged to visit and meet our internal organization. This includes all the executives, operations, recruiting, business development, and administrative staff. They come in with a handshake, but normally leave with a hug. After all, we are “southern”.

It is hard to believe that Action Technology since 1982 has hired well over 40,000 employees during this time period. As we look back over the years, we can honestly say that there have been different seasons and peaks and valleys but what really stands out is the fact that some of our current clients have been with us for over 37 years.

In addition, Action Technology proudly points to a long list of established clients that includes smaller regional enterprises as well as large international firms. Businesses have trusted Action Technology to fill both temporary, temp-to-direct, and full- time/direct staff positions as well as payroll and transition of many classifications including information technology, engineering, administrative, industrial, technical, management, and executive level talent.

Action Technology looking back has more than 40 years of experience providing staffing services and solutions to many different industries including Architectural & Engineering, Chemical, Communication, Construction, Energy, Engineering, Environmental, Government, Industrial, Information Technology, Manufacturing, Marine, Mining, Oil and Gas, Pharmaceutical, Power, Refinery, and Utilities.

And lastly, we are looking forward to the next 40 plus years making a difference for our clients, our internal staff, and all the 40,000 plus new employees that we will be hiring.
