Brand, talent, and tech: how Aker Systems positioned itself for the future

Aker Systems is at the cutting edge of ultra-secure cloud infrastructure, building and managing data systems for government and enterprise clients. Their rapid growth brought big opportunities—but also big challenges. They needed to scale their recruitment, sharpen their brand, and make their highly technical offering more accessible.

The challenge: growing fast and standing out

Aker’s expertise is second to none, but as they expanded, they needed to make sure potential hires and clients could clearly understand what made them different. Finding and onboarding top-tier talent was becoming a bottleneck, and their brand needed to evolve to reflect their scale and ambition.

The solution: a website and learning platform built for growth

We worked closely with Aker’s leadership team to reimagine their brand and digital presence. The new website now clearly communicates their unique capabilities while making them an attractive destination for world-class tech talent.

A standout feature? The enhanced careers section. We created two high-impact videos showcasing life at Aker—highlighting their mission, culture, and values. A new third-party HR system was seamlessly integrated, making it easier than ever for candidates to find and apply for jobs. Authentic staff photography and crisp, compelling copy made the employee value proposition crystal clear.

But we didn’t stop there. To help Aker build a pipeline of skilled talent, we developed a powerful learning platform. This blended learning system combines self-paced training with over 30 mentor-led projects, giving students real-world experience in DevOps. And here’s the kicker: the best-performing students don’t just gain skills—they land job interviews with Aker.
