In the aftermath of being recognised in the CVRecruitment Elite category, we speak to GarethWood about the firm. Synergize Consulting is a market leading recruiter of security cleared technical experts and IT professionals throughout the UK and internationally. Established in 2002, Syngergize Consulting supports companies operat- ing within Defence, Homeland Security, Central Government, Local Government, Education, Healthcare, Public Safety & Criminal Justice sectors, special- ising in ICT project services and resource management. Gareth Wood, Delivery Director at Synergize, tells us more about the company and its offering. “As a UK SME we are experts at bringing the right people together into high-performing teams of specialists to support all phases and functions of large-scale, secure HMG programmes,” he begins. “Synergize provides a compre- hensive service encompassing all aspects of the project and resource management lifecycle to allow the customer to meet their objectives in Time, Cost and Quality.” The firm works with specialist prime contractors, including those to the MoD, as well out- sourcers, intelligence organisa- tions and systems integration companies. “Our dedicated defence and security division offers specialist recruitment consultants and account managers with SECRET (SC) level security clearance,” continues Gareth. “With exten- sive knowledge of the sector’s unique demands, the team pro- vides a thorough and informed strategic recruitment service to ensure accurate and successful candidate placement. “The wide range of defence and security jobs we recruit for include contract, interim and permanent positions across all levels.” The team at Synergize Con- sulting has more than 35 years’ experience to call upon within the project and resource manage- ment business and it prides itself on delivering a quality service. “We have the skills needed and can provide them flexibly, when and where required. We have supported client’s needs since 2004 and have remained agile and cost-effective in the provi- sion of a wide range of resources and, at times, at significant scale across the UK. We have direct knowledge, relationships and an understanding of the market.” Gareth himself graduated from university with a BA and began a career in recruitment with one of the country’s leading RPO companies. After two years he sought a fresh challenge and joined Synergize in 2006. Follow- ing eight years of exemplary ser- vice, and excelling in a number of roles, he became a director in 2013. Gareth’s responsibilities now include managing the de- livery of services and resources into Synergize’s accounts, busi- ness development and manage- ment of the delivery teams. “We are committed to supporting prime contractors, consultancies and systems integration compa- nies with a specialist and reliable service which exceeds the most demanding expectations. We fol- low vigorously tested processes while still providing the flexibility to respond to specific needs and tight deadlines. Our consultants and account managers offer a wealth of industry experience so we can provide the very best solution for your ICT require- ments.” The firm’s partnership approach is integral to its activities. It invests a great deal of time into building strong relationships with clients which ensures it can consistently provide accurately matched services and solutions. “Importantly, we take responsibili- ty and are continuously improv- ing our internationally recognised management system. We use feedback from our customers and audits to continuously adopt best practice and meet the high- est standards.” Putting the client at the centre of the business is essential to providing a high-quality and con- sistent client experience. “Our success as a company depends on the strength of our team,” enthuses Gareth. “We work closely with our employees to build an innovative, creative and rewarding work environment. “Based upon our core values, everyone’s input and contribu- tions are respected.”
