SynerTech

What SynerTech does

SynerTech is a private IT staffing firm headquartered in Eagan, Minnesota, with an additional St. Paul office, that places technology consultants with client organizations. The firm connects clients with IT professionals across nine functional specializations, including Project Management, Software Development (Java, JavaScript, .NET), Quality Assurance, SAP, Web/Mobile Development, and legacy RPG/RPGII Development. Its primary marketed differentiator is a proprietary STAR (Talent and Recruitment) Process, described as providing real-time visibility across the firm's full IT resource pool to enable rapid "Best Fit" candidate matching.

The firm serves a heterogeneous client base spanning Fortune 500 enterprises to medium-sized local businesses, with primary geographic focus on the Twin Cities Metro area and secondary national reach. SynerTech operates four engagement models — W2 Contract, 1099 Contract, Contract-to-Hire, and Direct Hire — providing flexibility for both clients and consultants. The company deliberately maintains a lean cost structure ("Spartan by IT standards"), positioning itself as a cost-competitive alternative to larger national staffing firms. Revenue is generated through professional-services billings on each placement/engagement, with senior contractor positions carrying $150,000–$200,000 in annual income potential.

Beyond staffing, SynerTech operates the US Data Science Academy as a sub-brand offering machine learning and data science certification programs with attached career placement services, functioning as an adjacent revenue stream and a potential pipeline for consultant acquisition. The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors and is led by founder and President Todd Sebahar and Partner Scott Mihelich. Headcount is reported at 51–100 employees, and no funding rounds, M&A activity, or ownership changes are evidenced in the available material.
