IND recognised sponsors in Consulting & Business Services
187 organisations we have classified into this sector appear on the IND public register of recognised sponsors, as held in our copy of 1 July 2026. Strategy houses, technology consultancies, accountancy-linked advisory arms and specialist business-services firms are well represented on the register. Entry-level consulting salaries often sit just above the reduced criterion but below the standard one.
Where these employers are
Amsterdam and Utrecht hold most head offices; the large advisory firms have offices in Rotterdam, Eindhoven and The Hague, the latter dominated by public-sector consulting.
Roles that typically qualify
Management and strategy consultants, technology and data consultants, ERP and CRM specialists, transformation and change managers, and business analysts.
What recognised sponsor status does and does not mean
A recognised sponsor is an organisation the IND has admitted to its register, which allows it to apply for a highly skilled migrant permit on your behalf under the fast procedure. It is a permission the employer holds, not a promise it makes. An employer on this list may have no vacancies, may not hire outside the EU, and may still decline to sponsor a particular hire.
Public-sector consulting frequently requires Dutch and sometimes a Dutch security clearance, which in practice excludes newly arrived candidates. Private-sector and technology consulting is far more accessible.
The salary you would need to clear in 2026
The highly skilled migrant criterion is a gross monthly salary, excluding the 8% holiday allowance, and it does not vary by sector — the same figure applies whether you join a consulting & business services employer or any other recognised sponsor.
| Situation | Gross per month (2026) |
|---|---|
| Highly skilled migrant, under 30 | €4,357 |
| Highly skilled migrant, 30 or over | €5,942 |
| Reduced criterion (orientation year / recent Dutch graduate) | €3,122 |
| EU Blue Card | €5,942 |
| EU Blue Card, reduced | €4,754 |
Not sure which line applies to you? Run the eligibility check — it works out your age band, route and gap against the criterion.
