Jobpace started with David, who was in the middle of a job search himself and built the tool he was missing. Today there are two of us: David, who knows how good software is built, and Peter, who knows the job market from both the companies’ and the candidates’ side.
“I was let go after an acquisition, and I missed the overview I had always had as a managing director. So I built it.”
“As a headhunter, I know how much happens outside the job ads. I want to make that insight available to more people.”
Tap a step, or let the story play.
From 2001, David worked across Scandinavia and DACH, based in Hamburg. He started in sales and ended up as CEO and head of business development, with most of his career in software companies.
In 2023 the family moved back to Denmark. A deliberate choice, and the right one. In May 2024 David became Head of Sales Scandinavia.
At the end of 2025 the company was acquired. On 21 January 2026 David was let go.
Suddenly he had to look for a job in the Danish market, after more than 20 years away, and with a profile that was hard to fit into a standard box.
Word documents for CVs and applications. An Excel sheet of companies and contacts. LinkedIn messages in one inbox, emails in another. A folder per position. Nothing talked to anything else.
“It was not a lack of effort. It was a lack of system.”
The good tools were built for the American market. None of them included personality in the match. So David built his own.
First as an experiment. Then as something he used every day. And finally as a product, because others had exactly the same frustration.
A good tool only solves half of it. The other half is the method: knowing where to focus, how to become visible, and how to reach the positions that are never advertised.
Peter knows the job market from both sides. He brought the method into Jobpace.
Today Jobpace is helping its first customers move on. It is still a small product, and that is the point: you do not talk to a support department. You talk to us.
Every message and every suggestion reaches the people who can change something.
Built by someone who knows how good software is built, and how a job search feels. Jobmatch, which reads the job ad together with your CV and your personality. Jobs, Network and Momentum in one place, so you can see where you stand.
From someone who knows the job market from both sides. Where to focus, how to become visible, how to use your network, and how to reach the positions that are never advertised.
Together we cover both sides of the job search: the tool that keeps track of everything, and the method that makes it work.
