Takes a few minutes. We'll come back with three firms that fit — personally matched, not algorithmic.
Matching senior freelance IT consultants with the right assignments
DBA Consult ApS operates at the intersection of human judgement and technical expertise, positioning itself as the Nordic region’s most discerning connector of senior freelance IT consultants to the companies that need them most. Founded and run by partners Peter Heide and Piotr Hahn, the firm has spent more than a decade refining what they call their ‘formula for success’: Task + Business + Person. It is a deceptively simple framework that reflects a deeply held belief — that placing the right consultant is never just about matching keywords on a CV.nnThe firm’s philosophy is deliberately people-first. Where many staffing firms push CVs and let clients do the filtering, DBA Consult invests heavily in understanding both sides of the equation before a single name is presented. They study the client’s business, the team dynamics, the cultural context, and the specific nature of the assignment before qualifying a candidate from their network. The result, they argue, is that the person sitting across the table at an interview is not merely technically qualified — they are the right human being for that particular role in that particular organisation.nnDBA Consult offers both individual senior consultants and fully assembled project teams, making them a flexible partner for everything from short-term specialist engagements to multi-month transformation projects. Their process is designed for speed without sacrificing quality: a first meeting to understand the need, a qualified candidate presented within 24 hours, interview coordination handled entirely by the firm, and contract management taken off the client’s plate entirely.nnThe firm’s consultant network spans the full breadth of senior IT roles — from developers deep in the technical ‘engine room’ to programme managers operating at board and executive level. Case stories on their site feature consultants who have worked with major international names including Arla Foods, Rockwool, Nordea, and Carlsberg, signalling a client base that spans large enterprise environments across industries.nnWith offices on Rådhusstræde in central Copenhagen, DBA Consult is a compact but well-networked operation that competes not on volume but on precision. Their differentiator is not the size of their database — it is the quality of their judgement. In a market flooded with CV-pushers, they have carved out a reputation as a firm that genuinely understands people, and that reputation has been more than ten years in the making.

DBA Consult ApS is consistently described by clients as a firm that does the hard thinking before anyone else does. Rather than flooding inboxes with CVs, they arrive at the first conversation having already mapped the assignment, the team context, and the cultural fit — then present a single, well-qualified candidate within 24 hours. Clients working across large enterprise environments in manufacturing, financial services, and technology note that the consultants placed by DBA Consult integrate quickly and credibly at senior levels, requiring minimal onboarding overhead. The firm's partners are personally involved throughout, which clients in complex or long-running engagements find particularly valuable.
