Accolo acquired by Orion Novotus

Orion Novotus, an Austin, Texas, recruiting company, has acquired Lehi-based Accolo. Accolo is a U.S.-focused recruitment process outsourcing company. Orion Novotus is part of the Orion Talent Co. group of recruitment firms. Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.

Founded in 2000 by John Younger, Accolo serves small and mid-size businesses in a variety of industries throughout the U.S. It will operate as a division of Orion Novotus. 

“Accolo and Orion Novotus started the Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association together nearly two decades ago. It’s exciting to now be joining forces to help more companies with our combined and complementary capabilities,” said Younger, who is now the company’s executive chairman.

“Orion Novotus is a leading middle market provider of recruitment process outsourcing services and following our acquisition by Orion Talent in January 2016, we have risen from our position as the No. 1 mid-market RPO provider to being firmly seated as an enterprise provider,” said Cory Kruse, president of Orion Novotus. “With the acquisition of Accolo, we will be able to continue our pattern of steady growth and provide even better service to both our customers and candidates.”
