Answer 'do we have the skills?' before the call ends
Spreadsheets go stale because nobody owns them. In MuchSkills, consultants own their profiles, so your skills matrix stays current and staffing answers come from data, not memory.
Why it matters: every day a staffing answer waits, a bid slips, a consultant sits on the bench or a partner tier gets harder to prove.

01Staff in seconds
Find a React, Node and Lambda engineer who can start in 2 weeks, in seconds.
02Win the bid
Turn an RFP into tailored, proposal-ready CVs without chasing anyone.
03Fill the bench
Place the bench on work that fits, and watch utilisation go up.
Every staffing question starts with 'I'll call you back'
Sales asks who can start next month. The question bounces between heads of practice and principals. Days pass. By the time you have an answer, the client has moved on or the team is 'good enough'.
Bids go out late, or with the wrong team, because CVs were out of date.
Utilisation should be higher, but nobody can show where it leaks. Bench consultants sit unplaced.
Partner-tier certification counts don't match the vendor portal, so you lose bid points or discounts.
Projects get staffed on who is free or who a partner remembers, not on who fits and wants the work.
You cannot staff from what you cannot see.

Staff the right consultant in seconds
Ask in plain language and get a shortlist by skill, certification, availability and motivation. 'Who knows X?' gets answered while the client is still on the line.
Win more bids with CV Inventory
Paste the RFP, get tailored CVs in seconds, synced with live, validated skills. No more 'please update your CV' the night before a tender. The platform is live in days.
Prove your partner tier
Employee certification tracking for AWS, Azure, Cisco, Atlassian and 9,700+ more. Every record has an audit trail, so your count matches the vendor portal before the vendor checks.
Place the bench, lift utilisation
See what available consultants can actually do and put them on paid work. A 3% utilisation lift across 400 consultants is worth roughly €2.59M in extra yearly margin.
Close gaps before the pipeline finds them
Run a skill gap analysis against the work you are selling, then plan hiring and L&D around it. Sell the niche expertise you have, not just what people remember.
Keep the people you want to keep
Staff consultants on work they want to do, and they stay for the growth. Deloitte found skills-based organisations are 98% more likely to retain key people.

Straight answers before you book
What is a skills matrix?
A skills matrix is a grid showing which people have which skills, and at what level. In a consultancy, an employee skill matrix tells you who can staff a project or a bid. Most firms start in a spreadsheet, which goes stale within months. MuchSkills keeps the skills matrix live because consultants and managers update their own profiles, drawing on 12,000+ tech skills and 9,700+ certifications.
What is skills management software?
Skills management software records your people's skills, certifications and experience and keeps them searchable. MuchSkills is a skills intelligence platform that sits on top of your HRIS. Workday or SAP SuccessFactors stays your system of record, while MuchSkills shows who can do what. Consultancies use it for resourcing, bids, certification tracking and skill gap analysis.
Can MuchSkills be used for skills assessment?
Yes. MuchSkills works as a skills assessment platform that never needs a yearly re-run. Consultants record their own skills and levels, and managers help keep them current, so assessment happens continuously rather than once a year. Because the data is live, CV Inventory can build proposal-ready CVs from validated skills, and gap analysis always reflects the firm as it is today.
How do you run a skills gap analysis and workforce plan in a consulting firm?
Compare the skills your pipeline needs with the skills your consultants have, then decide whether to hire, train or partner. With live profiles, MuchSkills runs a skills gap analysis by practice, team or client account in minutes, and works as strategic workforce planning software on top. TBS cut workforce planning time by 60%. Gaps feed development goals and L&D plans, not a one-off report.
What is the difference between competency mapping and talent mapping?
Competency mapping sets out the skills and levels each role needs. Talent mapping shows where your people stand against that, and who could grow into what. MuchSkills does both from the same live data. Our services team can help you build the skills taxonomy and role framework, so managers see readiness across the firm from day one.
What is the best employee certification tracking software for partner tiers?
The best employee certification tracking software is one consultants keep current themselves, checked against AWS, Azure or Cisco partner-tier requirements before the vendor checks. MuchSkills covers 9,700+ certifications and keeps an audit trail for every record, built for ISO 9001 Clause 7.2 and mapped to ISO 27001. That makes it professional certification management software you can defend in a bid or audit.
Does MuchSkills integrate with Workday?
Yes. MuchSkills integrates with Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Personio, HiBob, BambooHR, Dayforce and other HR systems, plus Jira, Tempo and Harvest. Every plan includes standard HRIS integrations, SSO, SCIM and the open API, so you can push skills data to Power BI or Salesforce. Enterprise adds custom integrations.
How much does MuchSkills cost?
Plans scale from Starter to Enterprise. Every plan includes standard HRIS integrations, SSO, SCIM and the open API, and Enterprise adds custom integrations and a dedicated customer success manager. The pricing page has current plans and prices.
See pricingDoes MuchSkills use our data to train AI?
No. MuchSkills does not use customer personal data to train, fine-tune or improve any third-party AI model, and its AI sub-processors are contractually prohibited from doing so. MuchSkills is GDPR compliant, hosts customer personal data in the European Union and is listed on UK G-Cloud 14 as an approved government supplier.
