Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Financial Statement Presentation	1. Financial Statement Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The December 31, 2018 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements. The financial statements include adjustments consisting of normal recurring items, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of ASGN Incorporated and its subsidiaries ("ASGN" or the "Company") and its results of operations for the interim dates and periods set forth herein. The results for any of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other period. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018

Accounting Standard Update [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	2. Accounting Standards Update In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). This standard requires a financial asset to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the cost basis of the financial asset to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. The Company will adopt this standard prospectively effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The amendments in this standard align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The amendments in this standard also provide guidance on the financial statement presentation for the capitalized implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. The Company will adopt this standard prospectively effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases Disclosure	3. Leases Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02 Leases (Accounting Standards Codification Topic "ASC" 842) , which requires lessees to recognize most operating leases on the balance sheet as a right of use ("ROU") asset and lease liability. The Company adopted this standard using the optional transition method measuring and recognizing the ROU asset and lease liability from operating leases on the condensed consolidated balance sheet without comparative period information or disclosures. The adoption of the standard did not have an effect on the Company’s results of operations, stockholders' equity or cash flows. The Company elected the package of practical expedients which specifies entities do not need to reassess expired or existing contracts as of the adoption date for the following items: (i) determination of whether a contract is or contains a lease, (ii) revising classification of leases and (iii) assessment of initial direct costs. For existing or expired contracts as of the adoption date, the determinations made for these items under the previous accounting standard (ASC 840) were retained at transition, as allowed by this package of practical expedients. The Company has operating leases for corporate offices, branch offices and data centers. At the transition date, the operating lease ROU asset and operating lease liability were $93.9 million and $99.4 million , respectively. The difference between the operating lease ROU asset and operating lease liability is due to deferred rent and prepaid rent balances that were reclassified as a component of the ROU asset at the transition date. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of one month to eight years . At the inception of a contract, the Company determines if the contract contains a lease. A contract contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date, based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments. Since most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) in determining the present value of lease payments. In determining the IBR, the Company considers its credit rating and the current market interest rates. The IBR approximates the interest rate the Company would pay on collateralized debt with similar terms and payments as the lease agreements and in a similar economic environment where the leased assets are located. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less ("short-term leases") are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company does not have finance leases. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is primarily included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Some lease agreements offer renewal options which are assessed against relevant economic factors to determine whether it is reasonably certain that these renewal options will be exercised. As a result of this assessment, for most leases, renewal options were excluded from the minimum lease payments when calculating the operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, as the Company does not consider the exercise of such options to be reasonably certain. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component for all underlying asset classes. Some leases require variable payments for common area maintenance, property taxes, parking, insurance and other variable costs. The variable portion of lease payments is not included in operating lease ROU assets or operating lease liabilities. Variable lease costs are expensed when incurred. Components of lease expense were as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 September 30, 2019 Operating lease expense $ 8.1 $ 24.0 Short-term lease expense 0.5 1.3 Variable lease expense 1.9 4.2 Total lease expense $ 10.5 $ 29.5 The Company leases two properties owned indirectly by certain board members and an executive of the Company. Rent expense for these two properties was $0.3 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (in millions): Cash paid for operating lease liabilities $ 24.6 Operating lease ROU assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities $ 13.0 Weighted-average remaining lease term of operating leases 4.1 years Weighted-average discount rate of operating leases 4.5 % Maturities of operating lease liabilities as of September 30, 2019 (in millions): Remainder of 2019 $ 7.2 2020 28.2 2021 24.2 2022 18.5 2023 12.7 Thereafter 9.7 Total future minimum lease payments 100.5 Less imputed interest (8.9 ) Total operating lease liabilities $ 91.6 As of September 30, 2019 , the Company has additional operating leases, primarily for real estate and data centers that have not yet commenced, with total future lease payments of approximately $19.2 million and $10.4 million , respectively. These operating leases will commence in 2019 with lease terms of approximately 7.4 years and 3 years , respectively. In the prior year, rent expense was $8.6 million and $24.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	4. Acquisitions Assets and liabilities of all acquired companies are recorded at their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets was primarily determined using a discounted cash flow method (a non-recurring fair value measurement based on Level 3 inputs). Goodwill represents the acquired assembled workforce, potential new customers and future cash flows after the acquisition. DHA Acquisition On January 25, 2019 , the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of DHA Group, Inc. ("DHA"), headquartered in Washington, D.C. for $48.5 million , which included $2.5 million for excess working capital. DHA is a provider of IT services mainly to the FBI as well as other federal customers. Identifiable intangible assets related to this acquisition totaled $19.0 million and goodwill related to this acquisition was $24.7 million , which is tax deductible. The results of operations for this acquisition have been combined with those of the Company from the acquisition date and are included within the ECS Segment (see Note 11. Segment Reporting ). ECS Acquisition On April 2, 2018 , the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of ECS Federal, LLC ("ECS") for $775.0 million . ECS, which is headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia , is a leading provider of government IT services and solutions. The ECS acquisition allows the Company to compete in the Federal IT and professional services sector . The purchase accounting for this acquisition was finalized as of December 31, 2018. Goodwill related to this acquisition totaled $528.2 million , of which $514.2 million is deductible for income tax purposes. Identifiable intangible assets related to this acquisition totaled $195.0 million . The weighted-average amortization period for identifiable intangible assets, excluding trademark, is 11 years . The results of operations for this acquisition have been combined with those of the Company from the acquisition date and are included within the ECS Segment. The summary below (in millions, except for per share data) presents pro forma unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as if the acquisition of ECS by the Company and the acquisition of a business by ECS in April 2017, both occurred on January 1, 2017. The pro forma unaudited condensed consolidated results give effect to, among other things: (i) amortization of intangible assets, (ii) stock-based compensation expense and the related dilution for restricted stock units granted to ECS employees, (iii) interest expense on acquisition-related debt and (iv) the exclusion of nonrecurring expenses incurred by ECS prior to its acquisition by the Company for ECS’ acquisition-related activities and costs incurred in the sale of ECS to the Company. The pro forma results do not include pre-acquisition results of DHA due to its size. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the acquisitions been consummated as of the date indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 Revenues $ 2,619.2 Income from continuing operations $ 123.7 Net income $ 123.4 Earnings per share: Basic $ 2.36 Diluted $ 2.32 Weighted average number of shares outstanding 52.3 Weighted average number of shares and dilutive shares outstanding 53.1

The credit facility also contains certain customary limitations including, among other terms and conditions, the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers and acquisitions and declare dividends. At September 30, 2019 , the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants; its ratio of consolidated secured debt to consolidated EBITDA was 2.26 to 1.00 and it had $196.1 million of available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	12. Fair Value Measurements The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued payroll and contractor professional pay approximate their fair value based on their short-term nature. The fair value of the term B loans was $1.0 billion as of September 30, 2019 , excluding the $19.8 million of unamortized deferred loan costs (see Note 6. Long-Term Debt ) and was determined using Level 1 inputs (quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities) from the fair value hierarchy. The Company had investments, primarily mutual funds, of $11.0 million and $6.2 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively, held in a rabbi trust restricted to fund the Company's deferred compensation plan. The fair value of these investments was determined using Level 1 inputs from the fair value hierarchy. These assets were primarily included in other non-current assets. Certain assets and liabilities, such as goodwill and trademarks, are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment). Included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 , is a $3.3 million charge related to management’s decision to no longer use certain foreign trademarks. There were no other fair value adjustments for non-financial assets or liabilities in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 .

Leases [Abstract]
Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block]	Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02 Leases (Accounting Standards Codification Topic "ASC" 842) , which requires lessees to recognize most operating leases on the balance sheet as a right of use ("ROU") asset and lease liability. The Company adopted this standard using the optional transition method measuring and recognizing the ROU asset and lease liability from operating leases on the condensed consolidated balance sheet without comparative period information or disclosures. The adoption of the standard did not have an effect on the Company’s results of operations, stockholders' equity or cash flows. The Company elected the package of practical expedients which specifies entities do not need to reassess expired or existing contracts as of the adoption date for the following items: (i) determination of whether a contract is or contains a lease, (ii) revising classification of leases and (iii) assessment of initial direct costs. For existing or expired contracts as of the adoption date, the determinations made for these items under the previous accounting standard (ASC 840) were retained at transition, as allowed by this package of practical expedients. The Company has operating leases for corporate offices, branch offices and data centers. At the transition date, the operating lease ROU asset and operating lease liability were $93.9 million and $99.4 million , respectively. The difference between the operating lease ROU asset and operating lease liability is due to deferred rent and prepaid rent balances that were reclassified as a component of the ROU asset at the transition date. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of one month to eight years . At the inception of a contract, the Company determines if the contract contains a lease. A contract contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date, based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments. Since most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) in determining the present value of lease payments. In determining the IBR, the Company considers its credit rating and the current market interest rates. The IBR approximates the interest rate the Company would pay on collateralized debt with similar terms and payments as the lease agreements and in a similar economic environment where the leased assets are located. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less ("short-term leases") are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company does not have finance leases. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is primarily included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Some lease agreements offer renewal options which are assessed against relevant economic factors to determine whether it is reasonably certain that these renewal options will be exercised. As a result of this assessment, for most leases, renewal options were excluded from the minimum lease payments when calculating the operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, as the Company does not consider the exercise of such options to be reasonably certain. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component for all underlying asset classes. Some leases require variable payments for common area maintenance, property taxes, parking, insurance and other variable costs. The variable portion of lease payments is not included in operating lease ROU assets or operating lease liabilities. Variable lease costs are expensed when incurred.
