Headquartered in Munich, HRC Human Resources Consulting GmbH (HRC) is one of the leading consultancies for business-orientated employee surveys in German-speaking countries. The acquisition of HRC will provide additional proprietary content to Kenexa’s current survey and performance management offering and their offices will expand Kenexa’s geographical reach in mainland Europe – a key growth area for Kenexa.

Kenexa’s Chief Executive Officer, Rudy Karsan, said, “We’re delighted to welcome HRC to the Kenexa family. We expect that their rich history and impressive client base will help accelerate our growth in Europe. Since their inception in 1987, they have been a reliable and competent partner for many German national and multi-national companies and organizations and we look forward to building upon these excellent and long-standing relationships.”

HRC’s strong list of clients will benefit from Kenexa’s significant investment in research and development as well as Kenexa’s award winning technology offering and comprehensive solutions for employment branding, talent management, employee assessment, recruitment process outsourcing, performance management and HR analytics.

“This is an exciting time for us and our clients,” says Dr. René Bergermaier, co-founder and Managing Partner of HRC. “Kenexa is a leading provider of employee surveys and this move will bring together some of the most experienced psychologists, consultants and researchers in the world to create one of the strongest teams in the industry.”
