You send your diploma, experience and English level. We reply within 5 working days.
Test and interview
You take our online test. If you pass, we invite you to a structured video interview in English about your trade and experience. A trade diploma is required.
Employer and permit
If a Danish employer wants to hire you, you meet them on video, and they hire you directly. If you are not an EU/EEA citizen, you need a Danish work permit before you start. We help with the application. How long it takes depends on the permit and on SIRI's processing time. We cannot promise a start date.

Questions about carpenter jobs
Do I need a Danish licence to work as a carpenter?
No. Carpentry does not require a licence in Denmark. A trade diploma is required, and you send it with your application. Your English is tested in the interview. You meet the employer on video before anything is decided.
What will I earn?
Your pay is agreed with the employer and stated in your contract. If you need a work permit, it must be at the normal Danish level for the job. We cannot give you a figure before an employer makes you an offer.
Do I have to pay anything?
No. Nordic Skilled never charges workers. We are paid by the Danish employer. Anyone asking you for money is not working with us.
How soon can a carpenter start?
It depends on whether a Danish employer chooses to hire you after you have passed our test and interview, and on which permit you need. We cannot promise a job or a start date.
