n8n Consulting for HR Teams
I design, build and hand over n8n workflows for HR processes – self-hosted, with the works council and data protection in the room from the start, not as an afterthought.
A typical n8n project runs three to four weeks: one week of current-state review and sketching, one to two weeks of build and testing, then an accompanied first live run. At the end, your team operates the process itself — no ongoing external dependency.
How the collaboration works
30 minutes, no obligation: which process is worth automating first and what effort it takes.
Define the process on paper together with HR and IT before a single line of workflow configuration exists.
Set up the n8n workflow, verify with test data, align with the works council and data protection where needed.
First real run accompanied, then your team operates the process itself.

- What I bringHR practice as an interim manager and fractional HR lead, not just the technical n8n configuration.
- What I don't doNo black-box project without handover — at the end, your team operates the workflow itself.
The workflow ends up simple, and that's intentional. It only gets complicated once nobody understands it anymore after I'm gone.Nick Schäfer
Frequently asked questions about the n8n project
How long does a typical project take?
Three to four weeks until the first live workflow, depending on your system landscape and the alignment effort with the works council and data protection.
Do we need our own n8n instance?
Yes, self-hosted or on a private cloud. Setting up the instance is part of the project if none exists yet.
What happens after the handover?
Your team operates the workflow itself. Further workflows or an extension can follow in a new, clearly scoped project if needed.
