ASGN announced a multi‑year partnership with Salesforce on November 18 2025, integrating Salesforce’s Agentforce AI‑agent framework into its digital‑engineering practice. The collaboration will allow ASGN to embed advanced AI capabilities directly into its consulting services, accelerating the delivery of AI‑driven solutions for both commercial and federal government clients.
The deal fits into ASGN’s broader strategy to evolve into a high‑value IT consulting and solutions provider. By leveraging Salesforce’s leading AI‑powered customer‑relationship management platform, ASGN can offer faster, outcome‑based engagements and strengthen its competitive moat in cloud, data, and enterprise platforms. The partnership also supports the company’s AI Innovation Center, which develops reusable AI “solution accelerators” that can be deployed across multiple industries.
ASGN’s Q3 2025 results provide context for the partnership’s potential impact. Revenue for the quarter was $1.01 billion, a 1.9% decline year‑over‑year, while net income fell to $38.1 million from $47.5 million in Q3 2024. The company’s IT‑consulting revenues grew, but commercial and assignment segments experienced softness, underscoring the need for higher‑margin, AI‑enabled services to drive future growth.
Management expects the Salesforce partnership to generate new revenue streams and deepen existing client relationships. The integration of Agentforce will enable ASGN to deliver more sophisticated AI solutions, shorten time‑to‑value, and capture the growing demand for AI‑enhanced digital transformation services. The partnership is also positioned to help ASGN win large, multi‑year contracts in both commercial and government markets, reinforcing its strategic shift toward higher‑margin consulting.
Shiv Iyer, ASGN president, said the collaboration “is a prime example of being our own best credential,” highlighting how internal application of agentic capabilities can accelerate client outcomes. Jim Steele, Salesforce president of Global Strategic Customers & Partners, noted that Agentforce integration will allow ASGN to build intelligent ecosystems where AI agents and human creativity converge. Kaylin Voss, Salesforce EVP for Agentforce and Data Cloud, emphasized that the partnership combines Salesforce’s AI tools with ASGN’s expertise to enable the “Agentic Enterprise.” CEO Ted Hanson added that while IT spending remains steady, the company is monitoring government guidance amid a potential shutdown, indicating a cautious outlook for the near term.
The partnership announcement did not trigger an immediate market reaction, but ASGN’s Q3 2025 earnings had previously led to a 7.8% decline in investor sentiment due to a cautious Q4 revenue guidance of $960 million to $980 million, below the consensus of $975.4 million. The guidance shortfall highlighted investor concerns about near‑term revenue growth, even as the company’s strategic initiatives, such as the Salesforce partnership, signal a long‑term shift toward higher‑value AI services.
In summary, the ASGN‑Salesforce partnership marks a significant step in ASGN’s AI strategy, offering new revenue opportunities and deeper client engagement. However, the company’s near‑term revenue outlook remains a key focus for investors, underscoring the importance of demonstrating sustained top‑line improvement alongside its AI initiatives.
