What Consultday does

Consultday is a Dutch HR-IT consultancy firm headquartered in Baarn, Netherlands, with an additional operational office in Granada, Spain. The firm is product-independent and advises large organizations on the selection, implementation, and optimization of HR technology across platforms including SAP, Oracle HCM Cloud, Workday, SuccessFactors, AFAS, VISMA, and SD Worx. Its service portfolio spans five lines — Business Consultancy, Implementation Management, Data & Insight, Interim Services, and Architecture & Integrations — complemented by two productized offerings: Archie, an AI-powered HR assistant marketed to handle up to 60% of first-line HR inquiries, and the HR IT Maturity Scan, a diagnostic tool mapping organizational maturity across Processes, Payroll, Data, Systems, and HR Services.

The company serves primarily large enterprises with complex HR-IT landscapes, with named clients spanning banking (Rabobank, ABN AMRO, Robeco, ASN Bank), telecom (KPN, Odido), energy (Vattenfall, Renewi), industrials/technology (ASML, Heineken, Ausnutria), retail (Jumbo, Rituals), public sector and healthcare (Stichting Philadelphia Zorg, Hogeschool Rotterdam, Fryslân, Statiegeld). Revenue is generated through quote-based, project-based professional services engagements delivered by an assigned advisor from end to end.

In February 2026, Consultday announced its affiliation with Highberg, a digital transformation professional services firm, expanding its ecosystem reach. Headcount is in the 101-250 range and the firm is privately held with no disclosed external funding or revenue figures. The company markets itself through thought-leadership content on topics including the EU Pay Transparency Directive and HCM Cloud selection, and maintains a consultative sales motion anchored by the "Plan een Consultday" website call-to-action.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Deloitte Human Capital: Deloitte's Human Capital practice delivers HR transformation, Workday/SAP/Oracle implementation, and HR operating model design to global enterprises. Comparable because it competes directly for large HR-IT mandates and shares Consultday's enterprise customer profile, though at far greater scale.
• Mercer: Mercer is a global HR consulting firm (part of Marsh & McLennan) advising large enterprises on HR strategy, transformation, and technology. Comparable because Mercer addresses the same enterprise HR-IT buyer, with overlapping workstream in HR transformation, although Mercer's scope extends well beyond HR-IT.
• Visma | Raet: Visma owns Raet, the dominant Dutch HR and payroll software vendor, and offers adjacent HR-IT advisory and implementation services. Comparable because it serves the same Dutch enterprise HR-IT market with both software and services, although it is not vendor-neutral.
• Accenture HR Consulting: Accenture's HR consulting and HCM implementation practice is one of the largest globally, working across Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, and Oracle HCM Cloud. Comparable as a direct competitor on large multi-country HR-IT transformation programs, though with much larger scale and offshore delivery.
• AFAS Software: AFAS is a leading Dutch HR and payroll software vendor that also offers implementation consulting and partner ecosystem support. Comparable because it competes for the same Dutch enterprise HR-IT budget, though as a vendor with a specific platform rather than an independent advisor.
• KPMG People & Change: KPMG's People & Change practice delivers HR transformation, HCM implementation, and workforce advisory services. Comparable on consulting methodology, HCM platform expertise, and enterprise HR-IT buyer, though KPMG competes globally with far larger delivery capacity.

Direct peers

• SD Worx: SD Worx is a Benelux-headquartered provider of HR and payroll services, including HR-IT consulting, implementation, and managed services. Comparable because it targets the same enterprise HR-IT buyer and operates a vendor-neutral advisory practice alongside its own payroll platform.
• Highberg: Dutch professional services firm focused on digital transformation. Recently affiliated with Consultday, Highberg operates in overlapping HR-IT and digital transformation advisory, making it the closest direct peer given shared Dutch market focus and consulting model.

Others

• Workday: Workday is a leading global HCM cloud platform that Consultday implements and advises on. Comparable as a key platform partner and ecosystem participant, but is a software vendor rather than a consulting peer; relevant because vendor strategies directly shape Consultday's service opportunity.

Regional players

• HR2day: HR2day is a Dutch HR and payroll services provider delivering HR-IT outsourcing, implementation, and managed services to mid-market and enterprise clients in the Netherlands. Comparable as a direct regional competitor for Dutch HR-IT services, though it typically serves a smaller deal size than Consultday's enterprise focus.
