Partner programme for HR consultancies

You know the problem.
We solve it.

In almost every HR project there comes a moment when it is clear that the processes could be designed properly if only the systems talked to each other. Until now your consulting ended right there. From now on you can carry on, and we also pass you projects we are not set up for ourselves.

170,000+hours our customers have already saved
390+workflows in live operation
80,000+employees whose data runs through it
The moment in the project

You see the gap.
And until now you could not close it.

You analyse processes, design target states, recommend systems. Then the client asks the one question: “and who connects all this?” Until now the answer was: their IT team, at some point. That ended your engagement, even though the real benefit would only have come afterwards.

What you bring

HR expertise and access

You know how people work works, which processes really hurt and how to negotiate a target state a company will support.

  • Years of experience with HR structures grown over time
  • Trust among decision makers that cannot be bought
  • A feel for which process has to be tackled first
  • The ability to make change happen inside a company

What we bring

The technology behind it

Over 200 ready-made integrations, a translation layer for HR data and a builder your clients can operate themselves.

  • Ready-made integrations instead of custom development
  • Delivery in weeks, not quarters
  • Operation and maintenance stay with us
  • No investment and no risk on your side

Consulting turns into delivery. And a project turns into a relationship.

What you get out of it

Three reasons
that show up quickly.

A wider portfolio

You add a delivery component to your offering, with no custom development, no investment and no technical risk. What you used to have to recommend, you can now deliver.

Client retention

Whoever solves a client’s most critical system problem does not get put out to tender. The consultant who delivers concepts becomes the partner nothing works without.

Two revenue streams

A recurring commission on your clients‘ licence revenue, and project fees from implementations we pass to you from our own pipeline.

The real difference

It goes both ways.

Most partner programmes are one-way streets: you supply clients, the vendor collects. With us it flows both ways, because we need you as much as you need us.

From you to us

You bring clients

When the integration question comes up in your project, you bring us in or recommend us. For that you receive a recurring commission on the licence revenue for as long as the client stays with us.

  • Recurring commission instead of a one-off fee
  • No minimum revenue, no exclusivity
  • You keep the client relationship
From us to you

We bring projects

Our own customers need more than technology: process analysis, change support, training, sometimes interim capacity. That is exactly what we cannot deliver, so we pass it to our partners.

  • Implementation projects from our pipeline
  • Process consulting before and after go-live
  • Change support and training at the client

Two revenue streams instead of one. Commission from licences, fees from projects.

Terms

Three tiers.
You decide how far in you go.

Every tier is a full entry point. Moving up is possible at any time, as soon as the partnership carries.

The route

Four steps
to your first client.

No thick contract, no minimum revenue, no exclusivity clause.

1

Getting to know each other

30 minutes: we look together at whether your client base and our product fit.

2

Onboarding

Two hours on the product, the argument and the usual objections. After that you have all the materials.

3

The first meeting

We attend the first client meeting together. You lead, we supply the technical depth.

4

On your own

From the third meeting most partners carry on alone. We stay on call.

“The automation between Personio and SAGE is a real gain for us. We save time, cut errors and finally have the transparency we need.”

Let us talk
for 30 minutes.

With no obligation. We look together at whether your client base fits, and say so openly if it does not.

Common questions

What consultancies ask
before they join

Who is the partner programme for?
For HR consultancies, recruitment consultancies, interim managers and IT firms with an HR focus, everyone who regularly runs into the integration problem in client projects and could only name it rather than solve it.
Do I need technical knowledge?
No. You need an understanding of processes, not programming skills. We handle the technical delivery entirely. You stay the strategic head of the project, we are the workbench in the background, visible or invisible, just as you prefer.
How am I paid?
In two ways. First, a recurring commission on the licence revenue of the clients you introduce, tiered by partner level. Second, fees for implementation and consulting projects that we pass to you from our own pipeline. We discuss the actual rates in the partner call.
Will I also get work from you?
Yes, and it matters to us. Our customers often need more than the technical integration. Process analysis, change support, training, occasionally interim capacity in the HR team. We deliberately do not deliver that ourselves, we pass it to partners who do it better.
Does HR-Autopilot appear in front of the client?
You decide. Some partners introduce us as their technology partner, others work entirely under their own name with white-label materials. Both are possible and equally well supported.
How much time do I have to invest?
An onboarding of about two hours is enough to start. After that we join you in client meetings for as long as you want. Many partners run the first three meetings with us and then carry on alone.
What happens if my client asks technical questions I cannot answer?
Then you bring us in. You have a named partner manager who attends client meetings and supplies the technical depth, without competing for the relationship.
