What a wrong hire costs
Drag the sliders. This counts base salary only, for the months before you notice and have to start over.
6 months × DKK 30,000 = DKK 180,000 in base salary.

Time is better spent before the hire.

Foreign B2B companies keep coming to Denmark. Here is what that means for the first hire.
- Danish
Selling B2B into Denmark takes someone who speaks Danish and knows how Danish buyers make decisions.
- First hire
The first local hire sets the pace. That person builds the first pipeline and the playbook the next hires will follow.
- DE · US · NL
They're already hiring. A German packaging-procurement platform, a US security-tech company and a Dutch construction-software firm are all hiring Danish-speaking salespeople right now.¹

Questions from companiesQuestions from salespeople
What does it cost?Show answer
We agree fees and terms on the first call, before you sign anything. Candidates never pay.
What if the hire doesn't work out?Show answer
We agree that in writing before you sign anything. On the first call we go through what happens if a hire leaves early.
We have no Danish entity. Can we still hire?Show answer
Yes. We work with Employer of Record partners. They employ the salesperson in Denmark on your behalf, so you can hire before you set up a company. You sign the agreement with the provider directly.
How long does it take?Show answer
We aim for a shortlist of three within 14 working days of your signed brief. If it looks like slipping, we tell you early. After that it depends on your interviews and the candidate's notice period.
What does it cost me?Show answer
Nothing. Candidates never pay, at any stage.
Will my current employer find out?Show answer
Not from us. We never contact your employer, and your name and CV never go to a company without your yes to that specific company. Before that, a company may see an anonymised profile with no name or employer.
What kind of roles?Show answer
Founding Salesperson, Account Executive, SDR/BDR and Key Account Manager roles at international B2B companies entering Denmark. Mainly B2B SaaS, AI, e-commerce and retail tech, procurement, construction tech, proptech, cybersecurity and IT service management. It can be the company's first hire in Denmark.
Can I work remotely?Show answer
It depends on the company. Some roles are remote within Denmark, others aren't. You'll know which before you decide anything.
What do you need from me?Show answer
Your LinkedIn profile or CV, your salary and OTE expectations, your notice period and what you want next. That's all.
What happens to my data?Show answer
We use it only to match you to roles, and delete it 6 months after a search closes. If your profile isn't used in any search, we delete it 6 months after you first contacted us. If you want to stay in our network, we keep it for 12 months, only with your explicit consent. After that we ask you to renew, or we delete it. You can ask to see or delete your data at any time at hello@expandtalent.eu.
