The acquisition strengthens Symplicity’s ability to serve 1,200+ universities worldwide

ARLINGTON, Va. and TORONTO, Feb. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Symplicity Corporation (Symplicity), a global leader in higher education career services and student support solutions, has joined Volaris Group (Volaris), an operating group of Constellation Software Inc. (TSX: CSU).

Symplicity serves more than 1,200 universities globally, including 80% of top universities according to the QS World University Rankings 2025, and is trusted by 96% of Fortune 100 employers. With over 7 million active students and hundreds of thousands of employers on its platforms, Symplicity facilitates more than 11 million job applications and 1.1 million internship placements annually.

“I believe higher education is at an inflection point, with institutions under increasing pressure to demonstrate clear pathways to employment while supporting the whole student experience,” said Matt Small, President and CEO of Symplicity. “Volaris’s acquisition gives us the scale and stability to respond thoughtfully to these evolving expectations, including how new technologies may be applied over time in ways that support institutions’ efforts to demonstrate value and improve student outcomes.”

Symplicity will continue to operate under its current brand as a wholly owned subsidiary of Volaris, maintaining its headquarters in Arlington, Virginia.

“Symplicity has built a strong business by deeply understanding the complex challenges facing higher education institutions,” said Rob Turner, Volaris Portfolio Leader. “We’re committed to supporting that vision by providing long-term backing and the resources needed to continue serving universities globally.”

The acquisition strengthens Symplicity’s ability to continue evolving its platform and thoughtfully explore emerging technologies including AI and machine learning, while supporting a growing ecosystem of institutional needs.
