What Workindenmark does

Workindenmark is a Danish public employment service operated under the Danish Agency for Labour Market and Recruitment (STAR), the national member of the EURES European job placement network in Denmark. The organisation provides free recruitment support to Danish employers facing domestic labour shortages by sourcing international candidates from EU/EEA countries, and simultaneously assists skilled international job seekers in finding employment in Denmark. Its service portfolio spans 10 high-demand verticals including Engineering, ICT & Robotics, Life Science, Healthcare, and Green Energy, and includes a dedicated job portal (workindenmark.jobnet.dk) listing 2,999+ vacancies in English, a 1,000+ adviser EURES network, a self-service employer posting tool (JobAG), a weekly Friday live chat with Danish EURES advisers, a Polish-language phone support line, and administration of the EU-funded Targeted Mobility Scheme (TMS Sweden) that provides up to EUR 1,500 per worker in training and relocation support for SMEs hiring from EU/EEA.

The underlying technology stack is a web-based public-sector platform integrated with the EURES portal and Jobnet.dk, supported by Europass for CV creation, Conference Manager for webinar registration, and Virego as an internal CRM hosted in EU/EEA data centres. Workindenmark participates in 40+ European job fairs annually and runs its own 'Make It Work in Denmark' online fair series. Data processing is GDPR-compliant (EU 2016/679) and ISO 27001-aligned. The platform exposes no public or partner-facing API; integrations with employer HR systems occur via the internal JobannonceService web service. The team consists of 11–50 recruitment consultants and EURES advisers led by Gitte Grønlund-Møller (Chef for Workindenmark), based at Lerchesgade 35, 5000 Odense C, serving Danish employers nationwide.

Workindenmark operates on a non-commercial, publicly funded model: all services to both employers and job seekers are free of charge, with no subscription tiers, fees, or paid features. The GTM motion is event-driven and community-led, anchored on the pan-EU EURES network of 1,000+ advisers and 1+ million CVs. The 2025 operational footprint reached 1,017 distinct Danish companies spanning Energy/Maritime (Semco Maritime), Logistics (Dachser Nordic), Tech/Utilities (Kamstrup), E-commerce/Retail (Hesehus), and Relocation Services (Work-Live-Stay). As a government state entity, Workindenmark has no private ownership, shareholders, or external investors, and is therefore outside the scope of conventional PE/VC/M&A transactions.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• France Travail (formerly Pôle Emploi): France's national PES, operating the French EURES desk and providing free job placement including international mobility. Comparable scale, public-service model, and employer advisory orientation to Workindenmark.
• Arbetsförmedlingen (Swedish Public Employment Service): Sweden's PES is a sister EURES agency that already partners with Workindenmark on TMS Sweden, providing the equivalent free international recruitment service for Swedish employers and EU job seekers—same mandate, similar network role.
• UWV / EURES Netherlands: Netherlands' PES administers EURES Netherlands, offering free public-service international recruitment with employer advisory and job-matching. Comparable mandate structure and EURES integration to Workindenmark.
• Bundesagentur für Arbeit / ZAV (Germany): Germany's federal employment agency with its international placement arm (ZAV) is Workindenmark's closest country-level analogue: same EURES mandate, free public-service model, and cross-border recruitment advisory for German employers plus foreign job seekers.
• ANPAL (Italy): Italy's National Agency for Active Labour Policies coordinates EURES Italy and provides free public international recruitment support. Same EURES framework and public-mandate structure as Workindenmark.
• SEPE (Spain): Spain's Servicio Público de Empleo Estatal runs EURES Spain and offers free cross-border placement services, including job fairs in cities like Madrid and Barcelona that directly compete with Workindenmark for EU/EEA candidate attention.

Broad incumbents

• LinkedIn (Talent Solutions): The dominant global professional network and recruitment platform; competes for Danish employer recruitment budgets and is the default job-search tool for international candidates—particularly in ICT and professional sectors where Workindenmark also operates.
• Indeed: World's largest job aggregator and recruitment advertising platform; competes broadly for Danish employer recruitment spend across all sectors where Workindenmark places candidates.

Emerging players

• WorkMotion: A commercial global employment platform enabling cross-border hiring; competes for the same pool of Danish employers seeking international talent but offers a global (non-EU-only) talent pool and EOR capabilities that Workindenmark's EURES-restricted mandate cannot match.

Others

• EURES (European network): The European Commission-established coordination network underpinning Workindenmark's distribution. Not a direct competitor but the central ecosystem platform whose policies and funding directly shape Workindenmark's reach.
