HR Path Expands Global Footprint with RKM Consulting's Acquisition in Australia

In a strategic move to strengthen its global presence, HR Path, a prominent name in HR consulting and HRIS solutions, has announced the acquisition of RKM Consulting, an Australia-based firm renowned for its expertise in advising and implementing HRIS systems with a focus on SAP SuccessFactors. This acquisition marks a significant milestone for HR Path as it seeks to enhance its service offerings and expand its market share in the Australian and New Zealand regions.

HR Path has been operational in 28 countries and boasts a workforce of over 2,500 professionals dedicated to assisting businesses in navigating the complexities of human resource management. The company has established itself as a reliable partner for organizations aiming to improve efficiency and drive growth through innovative HR solutions. Since its inception in 2001, HR Path has committed itself to transforming HR practices globally, ensuring clients receive top-notch support and guidance.

Founded in 2000, RKM Consulting has cultivated a strong reputation within the HR technology landscape, emphasizing customer-centric solutions. The firm has focused on collaborating closely with its clients to ensure seamless delivery of HRIS solutions, streamlining their adoption and ongoing use. This customer-focused approach aligns perfectly with HR Path’s vision and operational ethos, making the acquisition a natural fit.

With this acquisition, HR Path not only solidifies its standing as a leader in the HR consulting industry but also expands its reach into the Australian and New Zealand markets. RKM Consulting’s specialization in HRIS technology, particularly its agile implementation of SAP SuccessFactors, enhances HR Path's already robust position in the SAP HCM space. This strategic alignment enables HR Path to bolster its capabilities and provide even more comprehensive HR solutions to its clients.

The presence of RKM Consulting will complement HR Path's existing operations in Australia following its earlier acquisition of DDG and the establishment of an Australian office in 2024. This move demonstrates HR Path's commitment to the region and reinforces its long-term growth strategy in the Asia-Pacific market.

Suraj K. K., Managing Director of HR Path ANZ, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, "We are thrilled to welcome RKM Consulting to the HR Path family. This acquisition is a significant milestone for our growth journey in Australia and New Zealand. The integration of RKM Consulting's expertise will undoubtedly enhance our service delivery and strengthen our ability to meet our clients' HR needs."

Rob Makinson, the Managing Director of RKM Consulting, also shared his excitement about becoming part of HR Path, saying, "This step opens exciting opportunities for our team and clients, providing a platform for our continued growth and success. We remain committed to delivering exceptional service to the Australian HR business community while eagerly exploring new possibilities under the HR Path banner."

As both firms move forward, there is palpable enthusiasm for the potential this merger brings, further solidifying HR Path’s vision of driving organizational growth and excellence through strategic HR solutions. By merging RKM Consulting's specialized knowledge with its own extensive experience, HR Path is poised for an exciting chapter filled with opportunities for innovation and advancement in the HR consulting sector.

This strategic acquisition not only sets HR Path on a promising path to further growth but also enhances its capability to deliver transformational HR solutions across the globe. The unified efforts of HR Path and RKM Consulting are expected to produce significant benefits for clients and stakeholders alike, creating a more efficient, effective, and agile HR landscape in the years to come.
