The main difference

HR2day is a platform for HR and payroll in one, built on Salesforce. Personnel file, HR processes and payroll are in the same system. Personio is HR software for companies with 10 to 2.000 employees, with recruitment, onboarding, leave and time tracking in one environment. For Dutch payroll you connect Personio to a payroll package, such as Loket or Nmbrs.

Choose HR2day if

  • you want HR and payroll in one system, without an integration between two suppliers;
  • you work in education: according to HR2day, more than a quarter of Dutch education uses the platform, and it is also used by municipalities and in construction;
  • you already work with Salesforce or consider that platform important.

Choose Personio if

  • you are mainly looking for a complete HR package, with recruitment and onboarding;
  • you want to keep your payroll where it is now, or have an accountancy firm run it;
  • you want to try it first: you can use Personio free for 14 days.

What to look out for with both

Ask about the costs per employee and the one-off implementation costs, and have them show how leave, absence and changes end up in payroll. With Personio that is the integration with your payroll package; with HR2day it happens in the same system.
