For companies

At International Community Odense, we aim to help local companies grow by making international recruitment as easy as possible.

For companies

The goal of International Community Odense's services is to make sure that your new employees thrive in Odense - and end up staying! We help your highly skilled employees and their accompanying families get settled, build a network, and discover the many activities, sights, and possibilities of the city.

 

Your employee is welcome to use our services before and after arrival in Denmark, and we can also offer our guidance during the recruitment process by telling your international candidates about life in Odense.
