Global HR solutions leader Synergie has acquired a majority stake in Canada’s Agilus Work Solutions, significantly amplifying its presence in the North American market. The move reflects Synergie’s strategy to expand internationally by leveraging Agilus’s strong Canadian network and market expertise.
Founded in 1976, Agilus Work Solutions has developed into a major staffing provider, ranked among the top 10 in Canada. With a network spanning 14 branches nationwide, Agilus offers a wide array of staffing services, focusing primarily on temporary and permanent placements in professional and technical roles, and payrolling for diverse sectors such as natural resources and IT.
By joining forces, Synergie and Agilus bring together complementary networks, creating extensive reach across Canada. This partnership enhances Synergie’s operational capabilities throughout the country and offers clients access to a wider range of specialized talent and HR support.
The acquisition underscores Synergie’s ambition to deepen its roots in the North American staffing market. Driven by ongoing labor shortages and increasing demand for outsourced and technology-enabled HR services, Canada presents significant growth opportunities.
Synergie’s expanded Canadian footprint ensures it can deliver a complete suite of HR solutions to clients, ranging from staffing and permanent recruitment to specialist recruitment and consulting. The combination also enhances the group’s ability to support global clients operating across its 17-country footprint.
This transaction is the largest international acquisition in Synergie’s history, that strengthens its global strategy. The integration of Agilus into Synergie’s portfolio is seen as a transformative milestone, enabling both companies to better address the needs of businesses seeking quality talent across Canada.
Company leaders emphasize that Agilus will continue leveraging its valuable local relationships and expertise, now supported by Synergie’s international resources and scale. With BMO Capital Markets serving as financial advisor, the transaction also marks the beginning of new growth and development opportunities for clients, employees, and candidates across both organizations.
With the acquisition now finalized, Synergie is poised to become a prominent force in North America. The combined expertise and enhanced coverage are expected to drive future growth, innovation, and value creation for clients in an increasingly competitive HR landscape.
