HR Path Expands Global Reach with Strategic Acquisition of RKM Consulting in Australia

HR Path, a renowned leader in HR consulting and HRIS solutions, has announced its strategic acquisition of RKM Consulting, a well-respected firm in Australia specializing in HRIS consulting. This development marks a significant milestone for HR Path as it bolsters its operations in the Australian market.

With a presence in 28 countries and a dedicated team of over 2,500 experts, HR Path has positioned itself as a reliable partner for companies navigating the complexities of human resources. The firm is known for its focus on consulting, implementation, and operational services, offering cutting-edge solutions tailored to enhance efficiency and promote growth. Since its inception in 2001, HR Path has been committed to redefining HR practices on a global scale.

Founded in 2000, RKM Consulting has established a strong reputation as a customer-centric provider of HR technology solutions. The company aims to act as a trustworthy partner for the HR community, ensuring successful implementation of HR technology solutions. Specializing in HR technology services, RKM Consulting assists clients with selecting, implementing, and managing HR Information Systems (HRIS), always prioritizing close collaboration with their customers.

This acquisition not only strengthens HR Path’s position as a leader in the HR industry but also expands its footprint in Australia. RKM Consulting’s expertise in HRIS technologies — particularly in SAP SuccessFactors — will reinforce HR Path's already established standing in the SAP HCM market. This move highlights HR Path’s commitment to fostering organizational growth and excellence through strategic HR solutions.

Since acquiring DDG in 2019, HR Path has actively engaged in the Australian market, and the inauguration of their Australian office in 2024 demonstrates a renewed commitment to the region. The alignment of RKM Consulting's customer-focused approach in HRIS technology complements HR Path's vision perfectly, emphasizing organizational growth and excellence through strategic HR solutions.

Suraj K. K., Managing Director of HR Path ANZ, expressed excitement about this new chapter, stating, “We are thrilled to welcome RKM Consulting into the HR Path family. This acquisition is a pivotal milestone for our growth in Australia and New Zealand.” On the other hand, Rob Makinson, Managing Director of RKM Consulting, shared his enthusiasm, saying, “This step opens up exciting prospects for our team and clients, ensuring continued growth and success. We remain committed to providing top-notch service to the HR business community in Australia and look forward to exploring new opportunities within HR Path.”

In conclusion, HR Path's acquisition of RKM Consulting is a strategic initiative that not only enhances its global reach but also reinforces its commitment to providing innovative HR solutions across different markets. With the merger, both companies are set to create synergistic opportunities that will ultimately benefit their clients and contribute to their long-term success in the HR landscape.
