One of Denmark’s main challenges is the shortage of labour in the Danish labour market in the short and the long run. For this reason, the National Labour Market Authority is supplementing recruitment from within the Danish population with recruitment of foreign workers to sectors which have a labour shortage.
Below you can find more information on the different websites for recruitment in Denmark and the opportunities in the Danish labour market.
Jobnet.dk
Jobnet.dk is the public job centres’ internet facility for all jobseekers and employers in Denmark. Jobnet.dk contains a database of available jobs and CV’s of people looking for jobs.
Jobnet.dk also includes job centre information sites where you can find specific regional information.
Workindenmark.dk
(Available in English, German and Polish)
Workindenmark.dk is the official Danish website for international recruitment and job seeking. As an employer you can create job vacancies and search for foreign manpower in the CV-database. If you are a jobseeker from abroad you can search for jobs in the job database and add your CV to the CV-database.
Besides the workindenmark.dk website, there are three workindenmark centres manned by a total of approx. 30 people. The staff of the centres can help with recruitment and finding jobs. You can find contact information on workindenmark.dk.
EURES, European Employment Services
(available in 25 languages)
The purpose of EURES is to provide information, advice and recruitment services for the benefit of workers and employers as well as any citizen wishing to benefit from the principle of the free movement of persons in the European Economic Area. EURES is a human network of more than 700 EURES-advisers, who are in daily contact with jobseekers and employers all over Europe.

Besides that, EURES brings together the partners of the labour market, which includes trade unions, employers’ organisations and local, regional and national authorities. Together this provides a solid foundation for the network to offer high quality service for both employers and employees and for improving mobility within Europe.
