IND recognised sponsors in Consulting & Business Services

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.

Not sure which line applies to you? Run the eligibility check — it works out your age band, route and gap against the criterion.
