What HRConseil does

HRConseil is a French HR and SIRH (Human Resources Information Systems) consulting firm founded in 2004 and structured as a SAS, headquartered in Paris (43 rue de Richelieu, 75001) with regional offices in Lyon (Auvergne Rhône-Alpes) and Nantes (Grand Ouest). The firm serves large private enterprises, mid-market companies, and French public-sector organizations (fonction publique), providing end-to-end advisory across the SIRH transformation lifecycle: trajectory analysis and tool selection (Siblerh), AMOA project assistance, MOE implementation (notably on the HR Access platform), Tierce Maintenance Applicative (TMA), Tierce Recette Applicative (TRA), change management (HRChange4U), HR data governance, and specialized expertise in payroll/DSN (Expaierh), GTA/time management (Optimerh), and talent management (NEXT).

The firm's core technology stack is built around deep functional and technical HR Access expertise, supplemented by proprietary assets including Libréa (a white-paper methodology for formalizing Paie and GTA rules to support SIRH migration), HRConnect (a digital expertise hub on SIRH market solutions), and HR Bot (a conversational AI chatbot for employee HR self-service). These tools support, rather than replace, the core professional-services engagement model. HRConseil operates a purely direct enterprise consulting GTM, engaging HR directors (DRH) and IT directors (DSI) through content marketing, webinars, conferences, and senior-stakeholder-led sales processes, with no reseller or self-serve channel.

Revenue is generated through mandate-based and project-based consulting engagements, including multi-year TMA and AMOA contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured per engagement. The firm has no external private equity or venture capital funding, maintains a small declared share capital of €38,000 (a French SAS minimum), and in November 2025 integrated into Julhiet Sterwen, a larger French HR and human consulting group. HRConseil has held the ChooseMyCompany EMPLOYEES PLATINUM label for 12 consecutive years and the Happy Client label since 2016 (90.6% recommendation rate in 2026), and has added ESG credentials including Lucie26000 and NR (Numérique Responsable).

Core offering

HRConseil is a French consulting firm specializing in HR (Human Resources) and SIRH (HR Information Systems) advisory services. The firm delivers end-to-end support across the SIRH project lifecycle — from needs analysis, trajectory studies and tool selection (AMOA), through implementation, integration, testing and migration (MOE), to ongoing third-party application maintenance (TMA), change management, payroll compliance and HR data governance. It serves both private-sector enterprises and French public-sector organisations, with deep specialisation in HR Access, payroll (Paie/DSN), time and attendance management (GTA), and talent management.

Product overview

HRConseil is a consulting firm specializing in HR and SIRH (Human Resources Information Systems) advisory services, not a software vendor. Their portfolio consists of consulting service lines organized around three pillars: Methodology (Siblerh for SIRH selection, AMOA for project assistance, Tierce Recette Applicative for testing, HRChange4U for change management, Data RH for data quality), Business Domains (Expaierh for payroll, Optimerh for time management, NEXT for talent management, RHepublic for public sector), and Digital Expertise (HR Access implementation, HR Bot chatbot solutions, dematerialization services, and Libréa white paper methodology). These services cover the entire lifecycle of HR transformation projects from strategy and selection through implementation and ongoing optimization.
