Acorn by Synergie has always provided exceptional support, reaching a production rate of 95% and reporting a satisfaction of candidates at 96% in 2024, a testimony of the fort alignment between the two organizations.
Andrew Potterill, director of engineering at Acorn by Synergie, said: “It is my honor to have been the guardian of the Acorn recruitment contract in Vale for more than a decade, and it is a responsibility that I do not take lightly.
“We have established excellent relationships with the main stakeholders in HR & Operations teams during this period, and I believe that we have acquired a deep understanding of the functioning of the refinery and your expectations towards us in a variety of different positions.
“We have recruited for a wide range of disciplines throughout the site, including HR, purchases, engineers, coordinators, administrators, the process, laboratory, store technicians, adjusters, welders and more.

Peter Rees, HR chief in Vale Addition: “We are delighted to continue our relationship with Acorn by Synergie for another five years.
“We are currently working on a digital transformation, and with the future acorn technology in the offer, we are delighted to work together to align ourselves for the future.
“Understanding the acorn of our needs, combined with initiatives such as their acorn impact strategy, its strong wellness policies and its avant-garde approach to AI and automation, have made a natural choice for our future development of labor.”
At the end of last year, Acorn by Synergie launched its acorn impact strategy, with a commitment to devote 10,000 hours of work over three years to combat obstacles to employment and improve social mobility in the UK communities.
This approach led by an objective includes workshops, mentoring, partnerships, employment and awareness fairs of under-represented groups, all aimed at allowing people from all walks of life to progress in their careers.
The impact of Acorn also embodies the conviction of the company that companies must actively meet social challenges by creating opportunities and reducing inequalities. It is a key pillar in Acorn by the continuous commitment of Synergie to promote a positive change beyond the workplace.
