Staffable

What Staffable does

Staffable is a Dutch pure-play payroll specialist founded in 2004 and headquartered in Maastricht. The company serves primarily small and medium-sized hospitality businesses (restaurants, hotels, catering, cafes, ice cream parlors, campings) and secondarily retail and commerce firms. Under its core Payroll product, clients bring their own employees onto Staffable's books, transferring all legal and administrative employer responsibilities—including salary payment, social contributions, pension, occupational health, sick-pay, and dispute handling—to Staffable. Compensation is via an all-inclusive hourly rate calculated as a markup over the employee's gross salary; if no hours are worked (for example during illness), no charge is incurred. This usage-based revenue model is complemented by three subscription HR service packages (Full Servicepakket, Essential Servicepakket, Self Servicepakket), targeted at permanent-staff HR needs and billed at fixed monthly rates.

The underlying platform combines a payroll engine with an employee-facing CMS accessed via login, enabling employees and employers to manage personnel data and payroll information in a single system. The technology is described as process-automated rather than AI-driven, with efficiency gains positioned as the basis for competitive pricing. GTM is sales-led, anchored by free consultation meetings ('vrijblijvend adviesgesprek') and supported by LinkedIn, Instagram, blog, and SEO channels. Industry memberships (KHN, ABU) and SNA certification signal regulatory compliance and sector credibility.

Staffable employs 28 people, operates exclusively in the Netherlands, and is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, acquisitions, or leadership transitions. Long-tenured SMB clients (multi-year relationships) and dedicated account managers form the core of its retention model. There are no publicly disclosed APIs, integration partnerships beyond Eitje (an HR/scheduling app), or AI/ML capabilities.
