FLORENCE, S.C. (PRWEB) February 14, 2018 -- Synergi Partners Inc. acquired Neon Workforce Technologies Inc. to position itself as the industry leader in hiring credits and tax incentives.

Depending on employees' eligibility, the length of their employment and meeting compliance deadlines, authorized revenue may range between $1,200 and $9,600 per hire.
