HR Path Expands U.S. Reach with Strategic ClearCourse Acquisition
Global HR tech giant deepens its bench in Dayforce, Workday, ADP, and UKG consulting
HR Path, the Paris-based global HR consultancy, just made another bold move in its U.S. expansion strategy. The company has acquired ClearCourse Consulting, a U.S.-based HCM advisory firm specializing in major platforms including Dayforce, ADP, UKG, and Workday. The deal marks a significant milestone in HR Path’s steady march toward global HR tech dominance.
With this acquisition, HR Path adds to its roster a seasoned consulting team known for guiding enterprises through complex HCM transformations. Founded in 2016, ClearCourse Consulting has made a name for itself helping organizations maximize the ROI of their HR systems—particularly in an increasingly fragmented HCM platform landscape.
Why It Matters
HR tech is evolving fast, and enterprise buyers aren’t just looking for tools—they want strategic guidance. HR Path, already operating in 28 countries with over 2,500 consultants, is positioning itself as the go-to partner for global HR transformation. By bringing ClearCourse into the fold, it strengthens its ability to serve U.S. clients with localized expertise while scaling global best practices.
This isn’t HR Path’s first rodeo in North America. It previously acquired Exaserv in 2019 and Terra Information Group (TIG) in 2023. With ClearCourse, it cements a three-pronged U.S. presence that now offers deeper coverage across all major HCM platforms.
“The addition of ClearCourse is a strategic step for us,” said François Boulet, HR Path co-founder. “Their expertise strengthens our pursuit of becoming the global leader in HR transformation.”
Bryant Bateman, HR Path Partner, emphasized the synergy: “This isn’t just about growth. It’s about innovation and a shared commitment to client success.”
ClearCourse’s Next Chapter
For ClearCourse, the acquisition brings access to a global network and the resources to scale its offerings. “This milestone brings exciting opportunities for our team,” said Keith Martin, President & CEO of ClearCourse Consulting. “We’re thrilled to be part of HR Path’s global vision.”
Industry Implications
With consolidation accelerating in the HR tech services space, firms like HR Path are doubling down on end-to-end service delivery—everything from strategic HR advisory to full-scale HRIS implementation. Competitors like Alight, Mercer, and Deloitte may need to respond as HR Path tightens its grip on the midmarket and enterprise sectors, particularly in the U.S.
As the market continues to demand unified solutions across multiple HCM platforms, HR Path’s ability to integrate ClearCourse’s expertise in Dayforce, Workday, ADP, and UKG gives it a significant edge.
