The skills management platform people actually keep current

For every leader who gets asked “do we have the skills?” MuchSkills is a skills intelligence platform that sits on top of your HRIS. It gives you a live map of skills, certifications and motivation that employees and managers keep current themselves.

So you can staff, train, bid and pass audits on data you trust, in minutes. No more Slack threads or last year’s spreadsheet.

Built for HR and L&D, workforce planning, resourcing, engineering and compliance teams.

Stop guessing who knows what.

Nobody can say who knows what

The answer exists. It’s just scattered across spreadsheets, HRIS fields and managers’ heads, and nobody trusts it.

  • The board“Can we deliver the strategy?”
  • Sales“Who can start in two weeks?”
  • An engineering lead“Who else can run the Kubernetes stack?”
  • An auditor“Who holds a valid certificate?”

Today: spreadsheets, inboxes, stale dashboards

With MuchSkills: one live skills map

Most skills projects fail the same way. The taxonomy stalls, the dashboard goes stale and the HRIS skills module sits unused. People stop updating anything that gives them nothing back. MuchSkills works the other way round.

  1. 1

    Keep the HRIS you already run

    No 18-month replacement project. MuchSkills connects to your HRIS and brings in your org structure automatically.

  2. 2

    People keep their own profiles current

    The profile belongs to the employee and shows their growth path. It isn’t an HR form, which is why they keep it current and you can trust the data.

  3. 3

    Ask in plain language, act on the answer

    Get a shortlist in seconds, filtered by skill, level, certification, location and motivation. Then staff, train, hire or report.

One skills map. Every team gets its answer.

Six jobs, one live source. Nobody has to rebuild the same spreadsheet again.

Show the training worked

Aim L&D spend at the gaps that matter, then show the CFO which skills grew. Give people a growth path they can see, so they don’t leave to find one.

What is a skills management platform?

A skills management platform records the skills, certifications and experience your people have and keeps that data current. You use it to staff work, find gaps and plan training. MuchSkills is a skills management platform and skills intelligence layer that sits on top of your HRIS. Employees and managers keep their own profiles up to date, so the data stays trusted instead of going stale like a spreadsheet.

What is a skills matrix, and how do I build one for employees?

A skills matrix is a grid of people against skills that shows who has which skill and at what level. An employee skill matrix built by hand in a spreadsheet goes out of date within months. In MuchSkills, people rate their own skills against a database of 12,000+ tech skills, 9,000+ certifications and 70,000+ capabilities. Your team skill matrix then updates as people grow.

How do you run a skills gap analysis?

A skills gap analysis compares the skills your strategy or projects need with the skills your people have now. MuchSkills runs it on live profile data, so you can see gaps by team, role, division or location. You can then aim training at priority gaps, find people with nearby skills to upskill and show which gaps closed over time.

Is MuchSkills strategic workforce planning software?

Yes, for the skills side of workforce planning. MuchSkills gives you a live baseline of skills, certifications and motivation. It rolls that baseline up by division, region and acquired entity while keeping local terms. It also covers competency mapping and talent mapping, so internal candidates show up for open roles. TBS says it cut workforce planning time by 60%.

Can MuchSkills be used for project staffing in a consulting firm?

Yes. Resourcing managers filter consultants by skill, level, certification, location and motivation, so they can staff on fit rather than on who is free. Project tools such as Jira, Tempo and Harvest connect in. CV Inventory, launched in January 2026, turns an RFP or tender into tailored, proposal-ready CVs in seconds. The CVs stay in sync with live, validated skills and certifications.

Will engineers actually keep a skills profile up to date?

Engineers keep a profile up to date when it works for them. In MuchSkills the profile belongs to the engineer. It holds their skills, certifications and what they want to work on next, checked against 12,000+ tech skills and 9,000+ certifications. It shows a growth path and helps them get the work they want. So it reads as a career asset, not an HR form.

Can MuchSkills track employee certifications and expiry dates?

Yes. MuchSkills is employee certification tracking software that holds every certificate by person, role, site and expiry date. It sends automatic renewal reminders to employees and managers. A tamper-evident audit trail shows who changed each record and when. It's built for ISO 9001 Clause 7.2 and mapped to ISO 27001, AS9100 and CSRD/ESRS S1.

Does MuchSkills replace Workday or our HRIS skills module?

No. MuchSkills sits on top of your existing HRIS, including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Personio, HiBob and BambooHR. Your HRIS stays the system of record for employee data. MuchSkills adds the skills layer people actually use: live skills, certifications and motivation. It can send that data out through its open API to Power BI, Salesforce or other tools.

How long does it take to roll out MuchSkills?

A typical rollout goes live in about 2 weeks, depending on how much time your team can give it, with onboarding support from day one. At national scale, nearly 55,000 civil servants in Nigeria's Federal Civil Service mapped their skills within 3 months. Our services team can also help set up your taxonomy and onboarding.

How much does MuchSkills cost?

Plans scale from Starter to Enterprise. Every plan includes standard HRIS integrations and SSO, and Enterprise adds full API and SCIM support, custom integrations and a dedicated customer success manager. The pricing page compares the plans; prices are on request.

Is our employee data safe with MuchSkills?

Yes. MuchSkills is GDPR compliant and hosts customer personal data in the European Union. It does not use customer personal data to train, fine-tune or improve any third-party AI model, and its AI sub-processors are contractually barred from doing so. MuchSkills AB is based in Gothenburg, Sweden, and is an approved UK government supplier on G-Cloud 14.
