We help Danish companies invest in foreign talent

Kate held a webinar for us on how to make a career in Denmark. It was interesting to hear her personal story and get her experiences within the Danish labor market – and receive some tips to be a success working in Denmark.

In September 2020, I asked Kate to come and give a presentation for International Network Horsens. The event was a great success and we received some fantastic feedback from the participants. They appreciated Kate’s presentation style and said that the presentation was fun but also provided very useful information. They loved Kate’s energy and the personal information that she shared about her jobseeking story. They could really relate to her and found the event to be motivating and inspirational. Kate has a professional attitude and is easy to work with and we would not hesitate to ask Kate back to Horsens again to share her knowledge. She’s really good at what she does.

We’ve collaborated with Kate on several occasions in connection with our job bases for academics and students in Denmark (Jobbank.dk). Drawing upon her own experiences, Kate produced for us several articles concerning internationals entering the Danish job market. Kate’s articles gave great insight to both the difficulties faced by internationals during their job search in Denmark, as well as solutions and answers to the most common problems. For HR-managers, her articles provided valuable insights into the “why” and “how” of establishing an international culture and doors for internationals in the workplace.
Kate has a knack for conveying her great insights in a way, that’s both engaging and interesting, while her personal experiences give her an advantage of a first-person view of the subject concerned. Her articles proved to be exceedingly popular and her broad reach on social media has contributed to make them a great success.

We hired Kate to do a talk for international job seekers on her personal story and experiences with job search in Denmark. She delivered the message in a very straightforward and honest way with a lot of reflection on the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of the situations she has found herself in during the process of applying for, getting and leaving the positions she has had. The talk gave the audience a deeper understanding of the different aspects of job search in a Danish context and – Kate being an international herself – a new dimension of the topic in question.

Back in Nov. of 2019, Kate organized an event to help promote the KarriereCoach brand and services through social media. We did a collaboration on a workshop together. 

To be in the presence of Kate is to be in the presence of passion, and energy for making a difference for others. As an International herself, she is acutely attuned to the issues and challenges facing international job seekers here in Denmark. Insightful, and funny is balanced by a serious and professional approach to every candidate. She’s great to collaborate with, and will definitely, and powerfully impact any group you put her in front of. Totally and whole-heartedly recommended!

Kate organized a talk for us at Dansk Magisterforening in Aarhus. It was a talk about telling her story and experiences in how she got different jobs in Denmark. Her story was relatable, interpersonal and was very moving. In addition, she talked about the importance of joining a union in helping to protect international’s rights in Denmark. More than 85 + internationals participated, which was very successful and led to many of them signing up for membership. She is a very talented public speaker and I would highly recommend her.

Does your company also need to focus on international recruiting? Kate Dahl is the one to go to! 

As a recruiting company we experience many internationals across industries struggle with landing a job in Denmark. Kate Dahl shares her personal experience to help those in a similar situation, and she possesses a sincere passion for making a difference for other internationals. Thanks to her, we hosted an event for internationals that led to more visibility and activity on our social media sites (10% follower increase on our LinkedIn page and 70% follower increase on our Facebook page) we were introduced to many internationals who shared their stories and gave us insight that inspired us to create content for our blog.

Kate Dahl gave a presentation at Studenterhus Aarhus under the heading ‘Get Started on Using LinkedIn.’ The presentation was perfectly adapted to the target group: International Students. It was relevant, entertaining, easily understandable and useful. Kate throughout the process of working with her proved competent, careful and cooperative.

Kate gave a presentation at the International House North Denmark where she shared her experience with finding a job in Denmark as well as advice and tips on how to find a job. We were very impressed with her presentation as it was both entertaining and very useful for the participants. We recommend Kate as a speaker within job search, a-kasse, motivation and inspiration

Kate assisted HK by being a recruiter at our stand at one of the career day boothes in Aarhus. She was great at coming up to internationals to give feedback on their CV, how to brand themselves for the Danish labor market and talking to internationals on the importance of being in a union. She was great to work with on the stand and was very interpersonal and approachable. As a result, many internationals signed up to be HK members.
