The real challenge with hiring in Denmark

Denmark is often described as “flexible” — but that flexibility is misunderstood.
The Danish labor market combines:

strong worker protections
collective agreements and union influence
clear expectations around fairness and transparency

Many international companies underestimate:

how notice periods are applied in practice
how benefits and pensions are expected, not optional
how local norms shape employee expectations

Fronted has literally changed my life by reaching out to me for a vacancy with what is currently my dream company and position! In the world of remote work, we are always at risk of being paid late, but Fronted makes sure we are paid on time.

Not only are they reliable, but super helpful and professional. Will forever be indebted to Fronted and their endless support
