Joulé, a provider of life science staffing, acquired the healthcare contingent staffing business of Morrisville, North Carolina-based Syneos.

“Acquiring the Syneos Health team propels our business with additional clinical expertise and an enhanced geographical presence in North America,” said Michael Sousa, executive VP at Joulé. “Their specialization adds depth and scope to our clinical and scientific workforce solutions pillar.”

The deal closed on May 11; terms of the transaction were not announced.

The business line will operate in Joulé’s clinical group with Mishka Symonette, senior VP at Joulé, continuing to lead the business.

“This is an exciting event for both companies and our employees,” Symonette said. “Our expanded offerings will allow us to offer added customer solutions which drive therapeutics to the marketplace.”
