FOUNDER
Rasmus Julius Risvig Hansen
I have spent most of my career in health and life sciences, working with diagnostics, products, commercial development and digital health. I enjoy taking something complicated, finding out what really matters and helping a team move it forward.
I believe good leadership is about setting a clear direction, involving the right people and creating enough trust for people to do their best work. I am curious by nature and usually prefer testing an idea in practice to discussing it for too long.
I hold an MSc in Philosophy and Business Administration from Copenhagen Business School. Careers Denmark is my own independent project and does not represent any current or former employer.
View my LinkedIn profileWHY I BUILT IT
I wanted an easier way to keep up
The honest reason is that I was too lazy to keep checking every relevant career page. The first version focused on life science, where I knew the employers and vocabulary, but I did not like the thought of missing a good opportunity simply because I had forgotten to visit the right company at the right time.
LinkedIn and the larger job sites are useful, but I often found myself scrolling through a lot of roles that were not relevant. It was still difficult to get a simple overview across Copenhagen and the wider Danish career market without losing the original employer source.
I had been curious about Codex and AI for some time, so I decided to see whether I could use them to build the tool I was missing. The first version was made for me. As it developed, it became clear that other people in a similar situation might find it useful too. That is why I decided to make it available.

RESEARCH-INFORMED PRODUCT DIRECTION
Better search—not simply more applications
Research does not support turning a job search into an application-counting contest. It points instead towards broader discovery, deliberate preparation, credible communication of skills and continuous learning. Those principles inform how Careers Denmark is being developed.
Discover broadly
Find relevant roles beyond the titles you already know.
Evaluate intelligently
Understand the role, requirements and genuine fit.
Apply deliberately
Prioritise strong opportunities and communicate clearly.
Track and learn
Use outcomes and feedback to improve the next decision.

Job search and employment success
Across 378 samples and 165,933 job seekers, search activity related to interviews, offers and employment, while search quality and self-regulation also mattered. More activity alone did not predict a better-quality job.

The power of a detailed job-search plan
A practical planning intervention increased applications, offers and employment in the study, supporting concrete plans and progress tracking rather than vague encouragement.

Measuring job-search quality
The validated framework covers planning, preparation and alignment, emotion regulation and persistence, and learning and improvement—useful dimensions beyond counting applications.

Broadening occupational search
Personalised suggestions of related occupations broadened the jobs considered and increased interviews, especially for people whose initial searches were narrow.
Belot, Kircher & MullerReview of Economic StudiesRead study
Skills information and labour-market outcomes
Credible information about job seekers' skills, which could also be shared with employers, changed search behaviour and improved employment and earnings in the study.

Writing assistance and résumé clarity
Non-generative writing assistance improved résumé clarity and was associated with more hiring and higher wages without lower employer satisfaction. It supports clearer communication—not invented experience or unrestricted AI generation.

What makes job-search interventions effective
The review of 47 interventions found stronger outcomes when practical job-search skills were combined with elements such as goal-setting, self-efficacy, proactivity and social support.
Liu, Huang & WangPsychological BulletinRead study
Job search across applied-for occupations
Using Danish unemployment-insurance data, the study examines the jobs people actually apply for, providing unusually detailed evidence about search behaviour rather than relying only on surveys.
Fluchtmann, Glenny, Harmon & MaibomJournal of Labor EconomicsRead study
The gender application gap
The study shows that men and women systematically apply to different jobs and that differences at the application stage can explain a substantial share of later labour-market outcome gaps.

Motivating job seekers: a field experiment
In a Swedish experiment involving 200,720 job seekers, some motivational emails reduced search or job-finding for some groups. It is a useful guardrail: provide agency and relevant information rather than pressure or generic nudges.
