HR Path, a global provider of HR consulting and HRIS solutions, announced the acquisition of Inspire Human Resources (Inspire HR), a U.S.-based HR advisory firm known for its expertise in addressing complex HR challenges and talent needs. The deal marks a strategic step in HR Path’s expansion across North America and strengthens the advisory component of its global service offering.
Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Paris, HR Path operates in 28 countries with a team of more than 2,500 professionals. The company focuses on advisory, implementation, and operational HR services, helping organizations navigate HR technology decisions while improving people management and operational efficiency.
Inspire HR was founded in 2007 by Jaime Klein and is recognized as an early pioneer of the fractional HR model. The firm built its reputation by delivering flexible senior-level HR expertise to organizations ranging from Fortune 500 companies to startups and nonprofits. Through interim leadership, project-based engagements, and advisory services, Inspire HR enables companies to address talent gaps and HR challenges without committing to full-time executive hires.
By integrating Inspire HR’s advisory expertise with its own global capabilities, HR Path aims to expand its ability to guide organizations through broader people, culture, and organizational transformations. The acquisition also enhances HR Path’s presence in the United States, a region the company views as central to its global growth strategy.
The combination of the two firms is expected to strengthen HR Path’s advisory pillar by adding Inspire HR’s experienced team and its flexible service model, enabling clients to access both strategic guidance and operational HR support.
