Know your skills before the board asks
For HR and L&D leaders who need to answer 'do we have the skills?' with numbers, not guesses.
MuchSkills is a skills management platform on top of your HRIS. Your people keep their skills, certifications and goals current, so you get the answer in minutes. Not a Slack thread. Not last year's spreadsheet.

You cannot plan with skills you cannot see
Ask most organisations what skills they have and you get a spreadsheet, a stale dashboard or a manager's best guess. That blind spot shows up everywhere HR is asked to deliver.
Workforce planning is guesswork
Roles get filled externally because the right internal candidate was invisible. Nobody knew to look.
Growth they can't see, people you can't keep
The engagement survey flags 'lack of career growth' every year. Then a top performer resigns for development they never saw here.
Completions are not competence
Your LMS shows courses finished, not skills grown. So the CFO sees a cost line, and L&D stays in order-taking mode.
The graveyard of good intentions
A taxonomy project that died. A tool nobody opened. A Power BI dashboard stale within 6 months. A survey nobody filled in.
What changes when skills are visible
Your last taxonomy project stalled? Skip this one. You pick from 9,000+ certifications, 12,000+ tech skills and 70,000+ capabilities.
Hover the wheel
One employee's profile
What they hold, how deep it goes and what a manager has validated.
Take numbers into the boardroom
A live skills matrix by team, role and location shows where the strategy is covered and where it's exposed. You bring data to the board, not a hunch.
Prove training closed the gap
Run a skill gap analysis, aim L&D spend at the priority gaps, then show the CFO which skills moved. That's what keeps a budget alive at the next review.
Find the people you already have
Search by skill, certification and interest to find internal candidates hiring managers didn't know about. People move because they were found, not because someone knew them.
Staff projects from skills, not memory
Connect Jira, Tempo, Harvest or Smartsheet and match the right people to projects and roles. TBS cut workforce planning time by 60%.
A growth path people can see
Employees set development goals against real skills and track their own progress. That's why they keep profiles current, and why they stay.
Check-ins worth having
Managers see each person's strengths, goals and gaps before the 1:1. The talk moves from task updates to what someone wants to get better at.
Audit-ready certifications
See who holds which certification in one place. Every record keeps a tamper-evident audit trail, so ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 audits stop being a scramble.
From assumptions to data
The change shows up in everyday conversations too. Marcus Thomas says its managers are 'having better 1:1s than ever'. Höegh Autoliners now talks about skills 'from assumptions to data'.
“Eliminated spreadsheet chaos across 200+ employees.”
“90% clearer visibility into team skills and project readiness.”
“The most compelling and intuitive solution on the market.”

Most skills projects die because the data goes stale or nobody owns the set-up. MuchSkills is built so that doesn't happen to you.

What is a skills matrix?
A skills matrix is a grid showing who in your organisation has which skills, and at what level. In a spreadsheet it goes stale within months. In MuchSkills the skills matrix stays live, because employees and managers update their own profiles. You can view it by team, role or location whenever someone asks what skills you have.
How do you do a skill gap analysis?
A skill gap analysis compares the skills your strategy needs with the skills your people have today. MuchSkills shows the gap across teams and roles from live profile data, so you can prioritise training, hiring or internal moves. Run it again after a programme and you can show which gaps actually closed.
What is the difference between skills management software and an LMS?
Skills management software shows which skills people have and how they grow. An LMS delivers courses and reports completions. MuchSkills sits alongside your LMS and HRIS, so you can target learning at real gaps and prove the outcome in skills, not just in courses finished.
What is talent mapping and competency mapping?
Talent mapping and competency mapping mean recording the skills, certifications and capabilities of every employee so you can find the right person for a role, project or succession plan. MuchSkills does this on top of your HRIS, drawing on a database of 12,000+ tech skills, 9,000+ certifications and 70,000+ capabilities.
Can MuchSkills be used as strategic workforce planning or project staffing software?
Yes. MuchSkills gives strategic workforce planning and project staffing the skills data they depend on. It connects to project tools such as Jira, Tempo, Harvest and Smartsheet, so you can match people to projects and roles by skill and certification. TBS cut its workforce planning time by 60% with MuchSkills.
How do we keep employee skills profiles up to date?
Employees keep their MuchSkills profiles current because the profile works for them. They see their own growth path, set personal development goals and bring the profile to check-ins with their manager. HRIS integrations keep roles and teams in sync automatically. Across customers, profile completion typically reaches 90%.
Does MuchSkills help with team building, including virtual teams?
MuchSkills helps you build the right team, not run team building activities. It shows the skills, certifications and interests of people across offices and remote locations, so you can put together project and virtual teams that fit the work. For virtual team building activities, pair it with your usual engagement programme.
Does MuchSkills integrate with our HRIS?
Yes. MuchSkills integrates with HR systems including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Personio, HiBob, BambooHR, Dayforce, CatalystOne, Microsoft Dynamics and Microsoft AD. Every plan includes standard HRIS integrations and SSO. Enterprise adds full API and SCIM support and custom integrations, and skills data can be pushed to Power BI or Salesforce.
Is employee data secure in MuchSkills?
Yes. MuchSkills is GDPR compliant and hosts customer personal data in the European Union. It does not use customer personal data to train any third-party AI model, and its AI sub-processors are contractually barred from doing so. MuchSkills is also listed on UK G-Cloud 14 as an approved government supplier.
How much does skills management software 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 has current plans and prices.
