What Drives Us

Work is changing faster than most are willing to acknowledge.

AI takes over what can be automated. What remains requires human touch, presence, and real people. We connect both.

Our platform handles everything a human can't do better: finding the right match, scheduling shifts, optimizing assignments, and billing.

But AI lacks intuition. It doesn't provide feedback after the first shift. It doesn't recognize who is ready for more. Our people do that.

We provide work that will still exist tomorrow – and build the infrastructure for it.

Our Story

ucm was founded in Berlin in 2014 – born from personal experience. Our founder, Amin Guellil, had worked as a bartender and trade fair host during his studies and saw firsthand how traditional temporary staffing worked: analog processes, long vacancy periods, and jobs that didn't truly suit either students or companies.

The approach was different from the start: a proprietary platform that operationally manages the entire deployment – not just the placement.

What started as an agency for event and trade fair staff is today a leading AI-powered workforce platform with experience across 8 industries.
