Buck (formerly Buck Consultants) is a global HR benefits and human resource consulting firm controlled by H.I.G. Capital.

History

Founded as an actuarial firm in New York City in 1916 by George B. Buck Sr.,[1] in 2016 the firm had more than 1,500 employees and affiliates in nearly 200 global locations.

Buck Consultants remained an independent organization until 1997 when it was acquired by Mellon Financial.[2] The Buck Consultants brand name was scrapped in late 2003 when Mellon unified various business lines under the name Mellon Human Resource & Investor Solutions.[3] Affiliated Computer Services (ACS) acquired Mellon's human resource businesses in 2005[4] and reintroduced the Buck Consultants brand. In 2010, Xerox acquired ACS for $6.4 billion. Buck Consultants was later rebranded as "Buck Consultants at Xerox".[5]

At the beginning of 2017, Conduent was spun off from Xerox. Buck Consultants, which was one of the businesses spun off, was renamed Conduent HR Services.[6]

In May 2018, Conduent announced that it would sell the Buck Consultants portion of its business to H.I.G. Capital, starting the clock on a 90-day transition period in which it hoped to complete the sale.[7] Immediately after the close of the deal on August 13, the business became known as Buck.[8]
