Managing director Geoff Crews said the move was part of its continued expansion plans beyond the Hunter. He said Western Sydney was a natural extension of Forsythes' regional city roots and the purchase positioned the firm on the doorstep of significant population growth, regional development and Australia's largest infrastructure projects including Western Sydney Airport.
"The pace of the Hunter and Central Coast right now is outstanding and we need to ensure we're accessing emerging candidate markets and bolstering HR expertise in growth industries to proactively support local clients," Mr Crews said.
Forsythes Recruitment & HR has branches in Singleton, Newcastle, Tuggerah and a serviced office in Macquarie Park, which will will remain to service Sydney clients in the tech sector.
