SpiceHCM for professional services
Competences, development and recruitment in one system, so every project gets the people it needs.
The starting point
Your people are your product
In professional, scientific and technical services, many posts in the EU stay open. The same section has repeatedly had the highest vacancy rate in the EU. Developing your own specialists therefore matters as much as hiring new ones.
And every project needs an answer before it starts: who can do what. Finding out along the way costs weeks, and customers notice.
SpiceHCM brings competences, development and recruitment together in one system. Staffing decisions then rest on what people can actually do. SpiceHCM is part of the SpiceCRM platform on which your projects and quotes run.
Competences that projects can find
Competences sit in a hierarchical catalogue maintained centrally. Each position carries a profile with the competences it requires. You record proof of qualifications with validity dates, so you see when one expires. After a training course, SpiceHCM adds the linked competences automatically. One person can hold several positions, each with its own profile, such as specialist and project lead.
- Competence catalogue in a hierarchical structure
- Position profiles with required competences
- Competences added after training
Development
Development with goals
Goals and goal agreements are kept per person. Development measures have a module of their own.
Training runs from request through planning to completion, with a training plan for each employee. Development talks then rest on agreed goals, not on impressions.
You record personnel measures from a predefined catalogue and send them through the PDF and template engine. Your own specialists grow into the projects of tomorrow.
Travel
Business trips from request to settlement
A business trip runs from request through approval to the travel expense report and its sign-off. On the platform of SpiceCRM, receipts such as a hotel invoice are attached to the travel request.
SpiceCRM totals the travel costs itself and turns the expense report into a PDF for email with one button. You assign costs to projects and charge them on to customers with SpiceCRM.
Travel costs end up on the invoice instead of disappearing into overheads.
Recruiting that keeps pace
You create open positions, and the whole recruitment process is covered. Job postings run from planned and approved to published and closed. The application process covers pre-selection, interviews and decision, with questionnaires supporting a structured assessment. A workflow keeps applicants informed by email. Promising candidates get a decision while they are still available.
- Job postings with approval steps
- Applications on record
- Workflow emails to applicants
What changes
Staffing projects with the right people
Project leads see which skills are in house and which are missing. Reports across any module are built without programming skills. Evidence of training and qualifications is ready when customers ask for it.
Since 1 October 2026, the NISG 2026 has transposed Directive (EU) 2022/2555, known as NIS2. Covered entities must offer their employees regular training and also consider the security of their supply chain. As a service provider, you are part of that supply chain, and your training records from SpiceHCM count too.
As with SpiceCRM, the functions are the same in the cloud and in your own data centre. Partner companies of SpiceCRM accompany the introduction.

Three products, one platform
What SpiceCRM and SpiceQMS add for professional services
SpiceCRM, SpiceHCM and SpiceQMS run on the same platform. One licence for More opens all three, and anyone working in several is only billed once.
SpiceHCM: making skills visible
Competences, training and recruitment share one system.
SpiceCRM: from quote to invoice
With SpiceCRM, quotes and projects run on the same platform, billed from reported effort. Travel costs from SpiceHCM end up on the customer invoice with SpiceCRM.
SpiceQMS: evidence for audits
With SpiceQMS, audits use the same people data. You thus evidence competence and training as ISO 9001 requires, without a second list.
