StepStone and Børsen Join Forces in Denmark

Linking the Best in Online and Print Recruitment Media
StepStone ASA, Europe’s leading provider of online recruitment services, has teamed up with Børsen to provide combined print and online services to recruiters in Denmark. Børsen is Denmark’s leading business newspaper and the preferred print publication for management and specialist positions. StepStone has been selected to replace Matchwork/Ofir as Børsen’s online partner and to further develop their online job services.

The partnership will combine online and offline recruitment media to deliver powerful and effective solutions for recruiters. StepStone and Børsen will create packages for top and middle management positions as well as for specialists in Sales, Marketing, IT, Finance, Biotech, Medical and Professional Services. The partnership will also launch a new StepStone-branded page in the career section of Børsen every Friday, where all jobs will directly link to online pages where candidates can find further information and apply immediately online.

Børsen’s renowned career portal KarriereJob.dk will be powered by StepStone technology and fully co-branded. All vacancies on KarriereJob.dk will also be published at www.stepstone.dk and through this combination reach a significantly larger audience of high-profile candidates.

The new products and services are scheduled to be launched at the beginning of April and will be promoted and sold by both parties.

This co-operation marks a further step in StepStone’s strategy of developing innovative products which combine the best of the online and offline worlds. This model has already been rolled out successfully with Axel Springer titles in Germany, as well as in Belgium and with metroXpress in Denmark.

“We are very pleased to have been selected by Børsen as their online partner. With the unique brand and audience of Børsen, both online and in print, we can offer our clients significantly improved exposure to quality candidates,� says Morten Heuing, Managing Director of StepStone Denmark. “This co-operation further demonstrates our commitment to meeting the needs of our most demanding clients for their most challenging recruitment. We believe that together with Børsen we will be the clear number 1 cross-media proposition in the recruitment market for management and specialists.�

“We at Børsen have been looking for a partner that shares our vision of quality services in the upper segment of the recruitment market. With StepStone we have found our perfect match. StepStone is clearly the preferred online recruitment site for quality candidates and recruiters, whilst the team at StepStone shares our values in customer service,� says Leif Bech Fallesen, Editor in Chief and CEO at Dagbladet Børsen.
