Open Unemployment Fund A-kassa implemented a new digital EmploymentWizard service in April 2025. Powered by artificial intelligence, the service helps members in their job search, career planning and putting their skills and competences into words. Also, job openings are integrated into the Wizard, enabling it to suggest jobs based on the user’s profile. The Wizard currently includes approximately 13,000 open vacancies but this number will soon increase to almost 20,000.
AI app has already helped fund members with their job search for 5 months
Experiences have been positive during the first five months of the service. According to a survey conducted by A-kassa, 45% of members who used the fund’s job search support services found the EmploymentWizard somewhat or very helpful in finding employment.
– Many A-kassa members work in practical fields of work where computers and AI are not necessarily an everyday item. However, the AI features in the EmploymentWizard were found useful, especially when jobseekers had to put their own skills and competences into words for their job search. Those with a long history of working in the same role may find describing their own experience a challenge, but the Wizard helps them identify their strengths and put them into words in a new way. AI can also help jobseekers see their opportunities from a new perspective, says A-kassa’s Service Manager Elina Laine.
New integration extends the Wizard’s reach
As the service undergoes further development, the next phase will see the EmploymentWizard integrated into Jobly, which increases the job openings on the platform by 50%, adding up to almost 20,000. The Jobly integration adds jobs from the private sector in particular.
– The job market is changing rapidly, and open vacancies are increasingly becoming hidden jobs. AI-based solutions, such as the EmploymentWizard, are essential to help people find new opportunities in the changing job market, says NeduAI’s CEO Filip Bovin.
The EmploymentWizard was developed to make job search easier and quicker. It brings the essential elements of jobseeking under one platform: professional job search documents, personalised job recommendations, job search tips and advice, and direct access to various job search services.
A-kassa wants to make its members’ period of unemployment shorter and assist them in finding a new job quickly. The EmploymentWizard makes for a smoother job search, helps identify career opportunities and provides support throughout the job search process. The EmploymentWizard is available to A-kassa members via the fund’s eService
Developed in cooperation with Coolla and NeduAI, the EmploymentWizard is part of A-kassa’s wider range of job search support services, such as EmploymentWebinars and Barona’s labour exchange service. The job search support services are free of charge for fund members.
