KANSAS CITY – May 29, 2026 – Advastar, Inc., a nationwide recruiting and staffing firm specializing in energy, engineering, construction and manufacturing talent, today announced that Forbes has recognized the company on two of its annual best of 2026 rankings. Advastar earned the #47 spot on America’s Best Professional Recruiting Firms 2026 and the #53 spot on America’s Best Temp Staffing Firms 2026. Both lists are produced by Forbes in partnership with Statista based on independent surveys of external recruiters, in-house hiring managers and job seekers from across the United States.
The dual recognition reflects Advastar’s reputation for delivering across the full spectrum of workforce solutions, from temporary contract staffing and temp-to-hire placements through direct hire searches and senior executive recruitment. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in the Kansas City metro area, Advastar serves clients in all 50 states under the banner of “Connecting Great Companies with Great People,” supported by its trademarked OnePoint Connectâ„¢ service model that gives every client a single dedicated point of contact.
“Earning a place on two Forbes lists in the same year is a powerful validation of how our team approaches every search,” said David Case, Founder and President of Advastar. “These rankings come straight from the recruiters, hiring managers and candidates we work with every day, which makes the recognition all the more meaningful. We are grateful to every client and partner who took the time to share their experience with us.”
The Forbes and Statista methodology evaluates recruiting firms across dimensions such as service quality, candidate experience and client satisfaction, with final selections drawn from thousands of independent survey responses. Recognition on either list is widely regarded as one of the most credible third-party endorsements a staffing firm can receive, and Advastar’s placement on both rankings speaks to consistent performance across its temporary and direct-hire engagements alike.
Advastar’s 2026 momentum has been fueled by sustained demand from energy, engineering, construction and manufacturing clients, including its standing as GE Energy’s top-rated staffing partner. The firm’s nationwide recruiters bring more than 100 years of combined industry experience and operate specialized practices spanning construction management, data centers, electricians, HVAC, millwrights, owner’s representation, property management, skilled trades, solar and welders. Through contract, contract-to-hire, direct placement, payrolling and executive search services, Advastar supports clients ranging from enterprise developers running multi-billion-dollar capital projects to mid-market and small business operators scaling their teams.
“What sets Advastar apart is the combination of nationwide reach with the personal attention of a boutique firm,” Case added. “Our clients tell us they can pick up the phone, get one knowledgeable point of contact and have qualified candidates in motion the same day. That commitment to service is exactly what these Forbes rankings reflect.”
