IPA

IPA are excited to announce the start of a promising chapter in our evolution. After celebrating our 40th birthday in May, we are thrilled to share we have successfully merged with Synaco by Synergie, lead by joint Directors, John Alexandrou and Mike Otty. This strategic merger will go into effect today, 1st July, 2024, and we will now operate as ‘’IPA by Synergie’’ combining a legacy of innovation, safety and customer-focused recruitment services with increased national geographic presence, now with the backing from our global parent company, Synergie. This merger presents great opportunities for growth and immediate benefits that our current clients, candidates and staff can look forward to. As exciting as this new merger is, you can expect continuity of service from IPA but with a new level of sophistication. We are still IPA, with the same people and the same operations, championing our ethos of forging lifelong partnerships, transforming ambition into reality by connecting exceptional talent with meaningful opportunities. Joining forces with Synaco by Synergie, we can now offer our combined experience, capability and competence to deliver specialised recruitment solutions across the country. Hear from Jerome Lucet, International Development Director at Synergie, Mike Otty and John Alexandrou, Directors of Synaco by Synergie, and our Head of Sales, James Muskett on what the future holds for IPA by Synergie. 

At IPA, Synaco by Synergie and S&you Australia, our business is all about connecting with people, which is why we actively support initiatives like R U OK? as part of our safety efforts nationwide. We believe in the importance of asking "Are you OK?" and making it a regular part of our interactions, so we can help those around us find the support they need before small problems become bigger ones. Yesterday we gathered together, working as one team across three brands for R U OK? Day, for a fun and meaningful Kahoot quiz, focusing on mental health and the importance of checking in with those around us. It was a fantastic way to get our teams collaborating, sharing laughs, and supporting one another— all while donning something yellow to mark the day! #RUOKDay #MentalHealthMatters #StayConnected

Today, we join the nation in acknowledging R U OK? Day, as today is a reminder of the mental and often hidden challenges many people face and how a small conversation can make a big difference. At IPA by Synergie, we understand the importance of in-person interaction with our clients and candidates, that’s why we prioritise and value the relationships we have with our people. This creates a working environment that promotes regular check ins, chats, and meaningful conversations.

Last week, our Cairns team had the pleasure of attending the Cairns Youth & Career Expo 2024, hosted by Cairns Business Liaison Association. With over 4,000 students from years 10-12 in attendance, and with over 120 education and career providers there, the team had a busy day networking with exhibitors and offering senior students valuable career advice, helping them think about what they want to do after finishing school. Thank you to Business Liaison Association for hosting a great event, and well done to our own Simone Howe and Ann Granger for representing IPA and for the stellar job at decorating our stall! 👏 #CareersExpo #CareerAdvice
