How do Danes hunt for a new job?

Job sites are the preferred channel when Danes have to find the right job. This is shown by a survey of Danes' behavior in connection with job search that Megafon has conducted for Danske Medier. As many as 48% - or every other Dane - uses job sites in their job search.

Megafon survey, January 2020. Target group: Danes considering a new job - 18 to 65 y/o.

59% of respondents say that the reason is that job sites provide the opportunity to specialize the job search in relation to industry, geography.

Just as many say that job sites provide an easy and quick overview of job vacancies. Just as accessibility - meaning that the opportunity is there to apply for a job when it suits the candidate, whether it is on a PC, tablet or smartphone.

42% of the respondents find it important that the supply of jobs is large. Jobindex alone has over 22,000 jobs daily and is thus Denmark's largest job site.

Finally, 29% say that anonymity is the main reason why they use job sites in their job search. Job search is still a private matter and anonymity can make it safer to research the job market and find the right job whether you are in a job or not.
