HR Path Expands Global Presence

HR Path, a leading global human resources consulting firm, has made a significant move by acquiring RKM Consulting, a prominent Australian company specializing in HRIS consulting and implementation. This acquisition, announced on August 14, 2025, is set to strengthen HR Path's position in the industry and broaden its market reach in both Australia and New Zealand.

A Trusted Partner in HR Solutions

Founded in 2001, HR Path has consistently aimed to redefine human resources practices worldwide. With operations in 28 countries and a team of over 2,500 professionals, the firm focuses on delivering innovative solutions that enhance organizational efficiency and growth. Its services span consulting, implementation, and outsourcing, positioning it as a trusted partner for businesses navigating the complexities of HR.

On the other hand, RKM Consulting, established in 2000, has built a strong reputation for providing client-focused HR technology solutions. The firm specializes in guiding its clients through the selection, implementation, and daily usage of HRIS technologies, ensuring the successful execution of their HR technology projects. This makes RKM Consulting an ideal fit for HR Path as they continue to grow their capabilities in the HR tech space.

Strategic Importance of the Acquisition

This acquisition is more than just a business deal; it marks a crucial step in HR Path’s strategic growth. By integrating RKM Consulting’s expertise, particularly in SAP SuccessFactors, HR Path is reinforcing its already strong position within the SAP HCM market. This move aligns with HR Path's commitment to supporting organizational growth and excellence through strategic HR solutions.

HR Path has had a presence in Australia since 2019, following the acquisition of DDG, which laid the groundwork for its subsequent expansion in the region. The establishment of the Australian office in 2024 further demonstrates HR Path's renewed commitment to this market. The client-centric approach that RKM Consulting adopts complements HR Path’s vision of driving organizational success through tailored HR solutions.

Suraj K. K., the General Manager of HR Path ANZ, expressed his excitement about the acquisition, stating, "We are thrilled to welcome RKM Consulting into the HR Path family. This represents a significant milestone in our growth journey in Australia and New Zealand."

In a similar vein, Rob Makinson, Managing Director of RKM Consulting, shared his enthusiasm for the new chapter ahead.
