Conduent Inc. has completed the sale of its human resources consulting business to a fund managed by private equity investment firm H.I.G. Capital.
The business, which was formerly known as Buck Consultants, has relaunched under that name. It will offer global integrated HR consulting, benefits administration and technology services.
The deal, as reported in May 2018, included the sale of the Canadian and Britain-based HR consulting and outsourcing businesses, as well as Conduent’s U.S.-based HR consulting and actuarial business. Before it was part of Conduent, Buck Consultants was owned by Xerox Corp.
