HR Path Strengthens Its U.S. Presence with ClearCourse Acquisition

HR Path Expands U.S. Footprint with Acquisition of ClearCourse Consulting

In a significant move to enhance its presence in the U.S. market, HR Path, a global leader in HR consulting and HRIS solutions, has successfully acquired ClearCourse Consulting. Based in the United States, ClearCourse has built a robust reputation in delivering Human Capital Management (HCM) consulting services, encompassing assessments, implementations, and optimizations for various platforms such as Dayforce, ADP, UKG, and Workday.

Founded in 2001, HR Path has established itself as a key player in the HR consulting arena with its operations spanning over 28 countries and a workforce of more than 2,500 skilled professionals. The firm has remained dedicated to transforming HR practices worldwide, providing advisory, implementation, and operational services designed to drive growth and enhance efficiency in organizations.

The acquisition of ClearCourse Consulting marks a milestone for HR Path. This strategic partnership not only strengthens HR Path's expertise in HCM solutions but also aligns perfectly with its mission of promoting organizational excellence through innovative HR strategies. According to François Boulet, Co-founder of HR Path, “The addition of ClearCourse Consulting is a strategic step for us. Their well-established expertise in HCM consulting strengthens our pursuit of becoming the global leader in HR transformation.” This acquisition is expected to enhance the firm's client relationships and broaden its service offerings to existing and potential customers.

ClearCourse Consulting, which launched in 2016, has garnered substantial recognition for its proficiency in optimizing HCM solutions, helping organizations maximize the effectiveness of their HR systems. By joining forces with HR Path, the consulting firm's knowledge of the U.S. market and established client connections will provide added value and enhance service delivery for both entities.

"We’re excited to commence this new chapter," said Keith Martin, CEO of ClearCourse Consulting. He emphasizes that the merger offers exciting prospects for the team and reinforces their path toward ongoing success. “We remain committed to delivering exceptional service while embracing new possibilities as part of HR Path.”

The acquisition also reflects HR Path’s broader strategy to expand its footprint in North America. This follows previous acquisitions, including Exaserv in 2019 and Terra Information Group (TIG) in 2023, which have progressively enhanced its delivery capacity and operational reach within the nation.

With this merger, HR Path aims not only to solidify its market presence but also to innovate its service offerings. The integration of ClearCourse Consulting’s expertise into HR Path's framework is seen as a significant step towards fostering a stronger, more capable HR consulting platform that can better serve clients’ diverse needs.

In today’s fast-evolving business landscape, organizations increasingly rely on sophisticated HCM solutions to navigate the complexities of workforce management. The collaboration between HR Path and ClearCourse represents a robust response to this growing demand, promising enhanced service quality and a wealth of resources at clients' disposal.

As HR Path continues its journey as a leader in HR consulting, the addition of ClearCourse Consulting underscores its commitment to excellence, innovation, and client success. The future looks bright for this dynamic partnership as they work together to shape the future of HR practices in the U.S. and beyond.
