Synergy Solutions

What Synergy Solutions does

Synergy Solutions is a privately held staffing and recruitment firm founded in 2014 and headquartered in Royal Oak, Michigan, serving employers across the Midwest with stated expansion plans into Florida and Texas. The firm operates a multi-service platform comprising six core offerings: Contingent Workforce Services (temporary and contract-to-hire staffing), Direct Placement (permanent recruitment), Executive Search, Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), Onsite Recruitment Liaison services, and a proprietary Applicant Tracking System (ATS) developed internally. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, combining face-to-face recruiter engagement with AI-assisted sourcing and screening tools embedded in its proprietary ATS.

The company serves five primary vertical segments: Automation/Robotics, Skilled Trades, Light Industrial/Production, Information Technology, and Professional/Administrative roles. It maintains five physical offices across Michigan (Royal Oak HQ, Plymouth HR), Ohio (Toledo), Kentucky (Louisville), and Indiana (Fort Wayne), and distributes services through direct employer engagement, recruiter-to-candidate placement, and a self-serve online job portal hosting 87+ active listings. Marketing channels include a thought-leadership blog, LinkedIn presence, and Constant Contact-powered email newsletters under the #OneMillionCareers branding initiative.

The business model is transaction-fee based: revenue is earned through successful placements, typically structured as a percentage of placed candidate compensation across contingent, permanent, and executive search engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm is bootstrapped with no institutional funding, M&A activity, or parent company relationships disclosed, and is led by founders Joe Miller and Michael Rea (COO/Head of Recruitment). Technology integrations include Constant Contact for email marketing, HubSpot for scheduling, FastCrib for inventory operations, and several shipping/warehouse systems (NetSuite, FedEx, UPS, Endicia, Pacejet) that appear in client-facing job requirements rather than as core platform components.
