SPRINGFIELD Worcester-based Masis Staffing Solutions, which does business in 18 states, has purchased United Personnel Services of Springfield.
United Personnel’s President Patricia Canavan and Chief Financial Officer Dave Mazzucco will join the Masis executive team, the companies said Tuesday.
Canavan, daughter of founders Mary Ellen Scott and the late Jay Canavan, said United has been collaborating with Masis. They’ve helped United recruit for a large client in Chelmsford, and United has helped Masis recruit in Western Massachusetts and in Connecticut.
“As we’ve worked together we’ve come to realize synergies between the two management teams and the two companies,” she said. “We weren’t looking for this kind of partnership, but the more that we got to know them and vice versa, we saw that we could be stronger together.”
