Exceptional growth requires exceptional talent combined with exceptional timing. Unikie, a Finland-based technology company knows this unlike anyone. Founded in 2015, the company solves some of the most complex challenges related to fast-developing technologies in Mobility, Industry 4.0 and Connectivity. Unikie works with global leaders in mobility and industry has grown to over 600 employees today. To stay in sync with the incredible growth pace, the company is the home for top tech talent - and requires unique capability to attract and retain the talent. Unikie recognized the need for a tool that enables them to scale their operations in an agile way but a solution that could also help manage the talent, skills, and availability efficiently whilst strengthening the company culture. After evaluating several options, Unikie chose Agileday as their trusted partner, providing them with a comprehensive solution that aligned with their needs.

Efficient skills management and transparent culture with Agileday


Unikie's commitment to excellence has positioned the company as an industry pioneer that delivers outstanding results. The cornerstone lies in the employees and the attainment of top talent necessitated a comprehensive tool that could effectively manage their skills and support their growing operations. That is when they discovered Agileday, a dynamic platform that offered a wide range of features and functionalities that fit Unikie's requirements.

“Agileday’s offering aligned perfectly with our need. With Agileday, we are able to manage talent and allocations, identify skills gaps, and create development opportunities that enhance both individual growth and company success”, says Kari Jussila, Unikie’s Director of Delivery Operations. 

Agileday is one factor transforming Unikie's approach to skills management and operational efficiency. By equipping Unikie with easy CV generation and project reference capabilities, Agileday helps the growing company elevate their sales and delivery approach. In the future, the company is even better equipped to comprehensive solutions sales to drive growth. 

“Agileday’s offering aligned perfectly with our need. With Agileday, we are able to manage talent and allocations, identify skills gaps, and create development opportunities that enhance both individual growth and company success." 

Empowering employees to drive future growth

Managing over 600-person workforce globally can be challenging, especially regarding company culture and information sharing. Agileday’s emphasis on single source of truth resonated with Unikie’s core values. By implementing Agileday’s platform across the company, Unikie aims to foster a transparent work environment that promotes collaboration, empowers employees, and ensures alignment with business goals. 

One feature that supports this objective is Agileday’s Openings feature, informally known as the consultant’s candy store, that helps people explore projects and indicate interest in them, accelerating the staffing process.

“We are dedicated to creating a culture where employees can thrive and contribute their expertise. The feature that shows all new project assignments is well suited for this as it gives employees a chance to explore opportunities within Unikie and contribute their skills for personal and professional growth”, Kari states.  

Developing the culture further is a significant element of Unikie’s current strategy as it enables the growth and talent’s happiness. With Agileday, the company hopes to increase the feeling of empowerment and autonomy amongst the talent. They see that giving people visibility into the growth opportunities is important as it helps with talent attrition as opposed to people searching for new employment opportunities elsewhere.

“The team has demonstrated their expertise in managing the complexities of a large, global organization like ours. The transition has been smooth and we have gotten excellent continuous support."

Swift onboarding secures lovable customer experience

It is not the easiest task to onboard over 600 people, their skills, experiences as well as all the project data into a single platform. But just like Unikie, Agileday has been dedicated to excellence.

“The team has demonstrated their expertise in managing the complexities of a large, global organization like ours. The transition has been smooth and we have gotten excellent continuous support”, Kari says. 

The collaboration has been founded on mutual trust and shared goals. Agileday's fast response time and commitment to development have impressed Unikie, as they continue to implement new features and functionalities that meet their evolving needs.

“When we need a fix or even a new feature, the team has been on top of it immediately. Their commitment to their customers has been nothing short of exceptional.”
