Headquartered in Wichita, Syndeo is a regional leader and an independently-owned human resources company. The Syndeo family of companies is made up of Syndeo Outsourcing, a full-service human resources outsourcing provider and Syndeo Staffing, a full-service recruiting and staffing services provider. These branches of Syndeo provide targeted solutions for every client, with more human resource services and programs than any other competitor in the state of Kansas.
In addition, Syndeo is an Employer Services Assurance Corporation accredited professional employer. This ensures compliance with government regulations and important industry standards. Over the years, Syndeo has developed unprecedented expertise in the region’s diverse economy. They understand what works for Kansas businesses.
Bill Maness started Syndeo Outsourcing in July 2002 with one other employee and seven clients that consisted of 300 worksite employees combined. He launched his own business because he didn't like the level of service that was being delivered by his former employer. Syndeo has grown steadily since its inception, now with more than 50 employees, and serves more than 150 small and medium-sized businesses across the region. Under Bill's leadership, Syndeo has become an industry leader across the U.S. and a model by which other companies measure themselves.
Bill is the board chair for the Employer Services Assurance Corporation, the co-chair of NAPEO Gives Back Committee and vice president of the Kansas Golf Foundation board. He recently completed a four-year term as a board member of the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations.
