The partner: Copenhagen Capacity
One of Copenhagen Capacity’s core areas is attracting foreign highly skilled professionals to industries in Greater Copenhagen from all over the world, and the company is currently looking at China as a new and attractive market to search for talents in.
IT/Tech skilled professionals are especially in high demand in Greater Copenhagen. This is due to their knowledge in programming, machine learning, AI, fintech and other specialized areas. The industry is having a hard time finding these specialized talents in Denmark, and Copenhagen Capacity is helping by spreading the message via digital campaigns internationally in specific markets and collecting data on relevant foreign-based jobseekers that can apply for the current open positions.
The company has identified a market potential in China as there is a booming IT/Tech talent pool that would be intriguing to test if they were interested in getting a job and moving to Denmark. Recently the company went to Beijing as a part of Beijing Design Week 2018 (Copenhagen was the official guest city) to host a couple of talent attraction events specifically within the Gaming-industry – an industry, seen as an interesting branch for techies, and a good branding platform for the rest of the industry.
Recently Copenhagen Capacity made a Chinese webpage http://www.copcap.cn/bjdw18-tech/ where interested job seekers can sign up to gain insight into job opportunities within the gaming and IT/Tech industry. This site needs to circulate within the right communities and on the relevant online platforms, preferably by organic reach, as there is a tight advertising budget of 20.000 DKK. As a part of the recent tech campaign we have developed a small gamification gimmick (not on a Chinese server) where people can test themselves in different coding language and challenge their friends. This is a site which is built to go viral through organic sharing. It’s called www.codenhagen.io.
