SilverSearch Consulting Services, a New Jersey-based IT staffing firm with 25 years of relationship-driven operations, was acquired by Saicon Consultants in a transaction exclusively advised by Momentum Advisory Partners, further solidifying Momentum’s position as a leading M&A advisor in the staffing industry.
Miami, FL — June 30, 2025 — Momentum Advisory Partners is pleased to announce that it served as the exclusive M&A advisor to SilverSearch Consulting Services, Inc., a New Jersey-based IT staffing and recruiting firm, in its sale to Saicon Consultants.
Founded in 2000 by Alisa Silverberg, SilverSearch has built a strong reputation as a relationship-driven provider of IT staffing solutions with clients and consultants across the U.S. The firm is known for its high-touch service model, tenured internal team, and long-standing, mostly direct customer relationships. SilverSearch focuses exclusively on contract staffing and maintains a roster of high-level consultants with above-average bill rates.
The transaction fills a key strategic need for Saicon, providing an established Northeast presence, while SilverSearch gains access to Saicon’s deep recruiting infrastructure. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
“We were fortunate to advise Alisa in this transaction. There was strong buyer interest, which speaks to SilverSearch’s outstanding reputation, long-standing performance, and resilience during a particularly challenging period for the staffing industry. Saicon was the right fit — this transaction fills a key strategic need for them, as they gain a much-needed Northeast presence. Meanwhile, SilverSearch will benefit from Saicon’s deep recruiting infrastructure. It’s a terrific match, and we’re confident this will be a successful partnership for all involved.”
— Akash Taneja, Founder & Managing Partner, Momentum Advisory Partners
“Selling my company wasn’t easy. I was looking for something very specific in a buyer. Most firms just wanted to cherry-pick our team or contracts. I needed a partner who saw the full value of what we built. That’s where Akash came in. He listened closely, brought me seven strong offers, and helped me choose the right fit, both financially and culturally. He was honest, consistent, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the process. I always felt supported, even during the emotional moments. I can’t recommend Akash and his team at Momentum enough.”
— Alisa Silverberg, Founder and President, SilverSearch Consulting Services
“This transaction wouldn’t have come together without Momentum’s steady hand throughout the process. Akash advocated strongly for his client while remaining constructive and solutions-focused. His professionalism and commitment played a key role in getting the deal done.”
— Ramesh Lokre, CEO, Saicon Consultants
