genU has signed an agreement to transfer its ownership of IPA Personnel Services to Synaco, and its parent company Synergie.
This is an exciting prospect aimed at providing greater opportunity and an even better experience for IPA labour hire employees, candidates and clients, and a more specialised workplace for IPA staff.
genU has made IPA staff and stakeholders aware of its intention to sell IPA now a suitability qualified and highly regarded potential new owner has been secured, in Synaco by Synergie.
Synaco has been particularly impressed by IPA’s position as a reputable recruitment company in Australia, its 40 years’ experience, aligned client portfolio and its footprint, which will complement and expand the existing Synaco network.
Since becoming part of genU in 2016, IPA has been able to source new avenues for growth and create an impact in the community. It’s now time to allow IPA to expand under the umbrella of a multinational specialist company with greater reach, and deeper expertise and experience in the recruitment sector.
