August 2025 marked a milestone in Australian recruitment. Synaco by Synergie and IPA by Synergie united under one name: Synergie Australia.
For the first time, our global brand has an Australian face—and it’s built from decades of experience, proven performance, and a shared belief that recruitment should be more than filling roles. It’s about building futures, empowering people, and delivering better outcomes for businesses and communities. We have started as we mean to continue, always getting in-front of our candidates and clients in-person, building real partnerships, and delivering on our promises to deliver our shared ambitions.
We know the recruitment landscape is crowded. That’s why we’re here to make your choice simple. Here’s why partnering with Synergie Australia is different.
