ACT Earns National Recognition as One of America’s Top Employers for New Graduates in 2025

May 20, 2025

Philadelphia, PA – May 20, 2025 – Advanced Call Center Technologies (ACT), a global leader in customer care and Total Experience solutions, has been named one of the nation’s Best Employers for New Graduates in 2025. This recognition highlights ACT’s standout reputation for fostering rapid career growth, professional development, and a supportive, innovative environment. Central to this success is a 100% employee ownership structure—ensuring that every team member, including recent graduates, has a vested stake in the company’s achievements.

ACT’s status as a fully employee-owned company through its Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is a major draw for recent graduates entering the workforce. The promise of ownership from day one gives early-career professionals a rare opportunity to directly benefit from the company’s growth. This structure creates an environment where new grads feel empowered, valued, and motivated—knowing their ideas, performance, and collaboration contribute to shared success and long-term career potential. 

A Launchpad for Career Success

For new graduates, ACT offers more than just a first job—it provides a launchpad for accelerated growth. The company’s robust professional development framework includes hands-on training, mentorship programs, leadership training through the ACT Academy and an empowering culture of ownership. These opportunities are enhanced by the ESOP’s ethos: when employees own their efforts and outcomes, they learn faster, innovate more boldly, and build leadership capabilities from day one.

Hunter Croft, ACT President & CEO, shares:

“At ACT, every new graduate steps into a company where ownership isn’t a title—it’s a mindset. Being an employee owner gives our early career teammates a voice, responsibility, and real influence. That sense of ownership accelerates growth and builds leaders faster than any traditional entry level role.” 

From Entry-Level to Ownership

The chart-topping milestone underscores ACT’s reputation as a best-in-class employer for new grads. By empowering employees with shared ownership from day one, the company fosters a level of engagement that’s rare in early-career roles. Graduates are entrusted with significant responsibilities underpinned by a collaborative culture that rewards initiative, innovation, and results.

Inside ACT, the ripple effect is clear: engaged employee-owners deliver better service, foster deeper client relationships, and drive sustainable business growth. That cycle of engagement benefits everyone—employees, clients, and the company—reinforcing the value of ACT’s model.
