What Aequor Technologies does

Aequor Technologies (legal entity: Aequor Companies) is a privately held, multi-vertical U.S. staffing firm founded in 2000 and headquartered in Piscataway, New Jersey. The company places healthcare, education, life sciences, pharmaceutical, laboratory, technology, and government professionals — including travel nurses, allied health staff, therapists, locum tenens providers, teachers, paraprofessionals, and related-service providers — with client facilities and agencies through a recruiter-led model. Revenue is generated via placement fees and contract revenue from temporary and permanent staffing arrangements, with pricing that is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The operational core is a recruiter-driven sales motion augmented by the Aequor Talent Portal, a self-service web and mobile platform that lets candidates search jobs, manage applications, upload documents, set alerts, and track their candidacy. The company also operates an SMS Text Messaging Program for opted-in alerts and reminders. Aequor reports a 2M+ candidate database, 24–48 hour placement timing, a 60% retention/extension rate, and a 4% cancellation rate, and supports a client portal plus direct recruiter outreach for employer client acquisition. Verticals are organized into four service divisions: Healthcare Staffing Solutions, Education Staffing, Aequor Government, and Life Sciences & Tech Recruitment.

Aequor has expanded its operating geographies from a New Jersey base to at least 14 U.S. states, holds Joint Commission compliance posture, and has earned SIA Staffing 100/Largest Staffing Firms recognition in 2024–2025 and Inc. 5000 fastest-growing recognition in 2023. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional ownership, and it does not appear to have raised institutional funding rounds or undergone material M&A in the observed window.
