Jobseeking in Denmark

Jobnet

Jobnet.dk is Denmark’s largest job portal and the Danish Job Centres’ website for job seekers and employers nationwide. Find your local Job Centre here.

Workindenmark

The website workindenmark.dk offers relevant information regarding international recruiting for employers and foreigners seeking jobs in Denmark, as well as a job and CV-bank tailor-made for international recruiting.

The website offers companies information on how they can recruit and retain foreign employees. Foreigners can obtain information on work and living conditions, tax and accommodation in Denmark.

The job and CV database allows companies to post vacancies for foreign workers, while job seekers can upload their CVs into the CV databank. The website is both in English and Danish. A German version will be launched in spring 2009.

If you require assistance, or have any questions, your local Job Centre can help you. Alternatively, you can go in person to one of the workindenmark centres, established to help Danish companies recruit from abroad.

Workindenmark centres are located in Høje Taastrup, Odense and Århus and are all affiliated with European job information system EURES (European Employment Service).

Seasonal Work

Information about seasonal work (such as at greenhouses or fruit farms) is available at seasonalwork.dk. Here you will find contact details for specialists with many years experience in recruiting seasonal workers.

Øresund Region

Job Centres in eastern Denmark work together with employment centres in the Scania region of southern Sweden to contribute to the development of a common employment market for the Øresund region. The Jobnet website includes vacancies for the entire Øresund region. The websites oresunddirekt.com and oresundsinfo.org offer further information and services.

The border zone

Information concerning recruitment and job market conditions across the German-Danish border can be found on eures-kompas.org. (Content is written in only German and Danish).

Self-employed

If you are considering starting your own company in Denmark or adding Danish operations to an existing company, you can find relevant information at Investindenmark.dk (administered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs).
