What is BilBasen?
Our story begins in 1989, when a clever man working out of a basement created a magazine that contained nothing but classified ads for vehicles. As price-conscious Danes, we loved the concept, and Bil Markedet became a household word.
In 1998, Bil Markedet partnered with dba.dk — Denmark’s biggest classifieds site — and went online as BilBasen. With innovative software that let dealers upload their ads to the Internet, BilBasen became a huge success, and in 2008 it became part of eBay.
Bilinfo provides 98 percent of Danish car dealers, in addition to insurance and financial companies, with IT programs and support to use with BilBasen.com. In addition, BilBasen also acquired a Mascus license in 2007 for the Danish market in order to operate its marketplace. Mascus is the largest marketplace in Europe for buying and selling used machinery and equipment, including tractors, trailers and trucks.
Today, we’re the number one car site in Denmark. We offer everything a vehicle buyer or seller needs — including video ads and a buyers’ forum — in an easy-to-use format that you can access even from a cell phone.

RasmusWeb DeveloperIt's important to me to feel good at work. It makes me more efficient when there is a good vibe. I would also like to improve my professional skills overall.Working with Bilbasen as a whole is a great project to me.How much growth the company has experienced and how much focus there is on economy.I got to know my band members here at work. We have played at a dba.dk party, which was a success. I am also very fond of being part of bigger projects.The benefits and the health insurance.I liked the job description, as it included all the tasks and opportunities that I was seeking in a career.The term "freedom with responsibility" really means something here and is implemented in our way of doing things. And of course, my great colleagues. -
MarianneProduction Manager, PrintI would like to achieve a more wide knowledge of the different products within the company. I am very happy where I am at the moment but I am always searching for a greater knowledge and to continue a positive development.My darling of the company is the magazine Bil Markedet. I have the responsibility for the graphics and layouts and it’s very challenging being up against the online version, BilBasen.How fast the company has expanded and doing so without losing the company identity.The day I got offered the job as production manager after only one and a years of employment.A great flexibility in every day life and the work assignments give me personal freedom.I applied for a job as graphic designer. I liked the environment and there was a really nice chemistry during the interview.There are nice challenges and a very "floating" organization. It makes the flow of communication and decision-making very fast. -
KennethAccount ManagerI want to be a good account manager. I want to move forward all the time and I also have some ambitions I want fulfilled in the future.We tried optimizing the revenue on private ads by implementing a package solution some time ago. Also implementing Google ads is a cool project.Nothing ☺When I chose to go from development to online sales. It provided me with some amazing new colleagues and work assignments.The Racing Corner. Benefits and a good balance between work and private life.I found a nice girl in Aarhus and got in contact with Kenneth Andersen (CEO). I was hired as a customer service employee but moved on to development and am now in sales.I have great colleagues, nice office surroundings, a lot of flexibility and nice opportunities to develop professionally. -
TroelsStrategy ManagerI would like to achieve a manager position one day but the work/life balance is also very important to me.When we got the auctions running!The company is run with trust and a lot of personal responsibility to each employee. It’s a big company with a lot of success based on simple principles.When the auctions started to make a profit.A large portion of flexibility and a great environment. I also feel that you get a lot of recognition for what you do.I applied for the job due to the fact that it combined my three core interests – cars, Internet and sales. Furthermore it seemed like a young and dynamic company.There is a young and good-hearted environment with a short decision-making process. Furthermore, it’s a company with success and you have the freedom and space to be you! -
AndersStrategy ManagerI would like to create growth and apply my own successes to others.At the moment it’s getting the economy crisis turned into something positive. I have developed a new concept with more integrated ads and it’s been a cool experience to develop something from scratch and see an end product.That there is so much trust and frankness in the company – as Jacob Aqraou would put it: We tell it like it is.Definitely when I won the InterRail award!! It came as a big surprise and I was so flattered that I became speechless.That has to be the improved pension. Also, the health insurance and improved maternity leave are worth mentioning.I was actually in the middle of my education as a social worker, when I found out that it was not what I wanted. My neighbor at that time was employed at Bilbasen and he encouraged me to apply here. So I did, and got the job.There’s a lot of trust. You are allowed to develop at your own pace and you get rewarded for taking initiative and creating results. It’s a flat organization run with a lot of humor and focus on work/life balance. -

Also to enjoy working here and have fun.Launching a new mobile app, re-launching and cleaning up several areas of the site incl homepage, introduce new ways of searching and setting up a new business model for private users.The openness and friendliness of the people and how warmly they welcomed me coming over from Germany.The ability to make decisions and how fast they can be implemented.The possibility to make a true change in the business and the opportunity to experiment.I wanted to work outside of Germany – and the job opportunity at BilBasen perfectly fit into my background.Great colleagues, amazing amount of ideas, drive for innovation and success. -
MarkusHead Of Architecture & ProcessesI am trying to create a sustainable pace in the PD department by implementing certain lean practices and trying to reach support and understanding from the business side for these things. The value of that is predictable and sustainable service delivery.Mostly I have been dealing with the Internationalization of the platform and the creation of new marketplaces for Rumania, Poland, France and Italy. Now I concentrate on some fresh new processes for SW development and steering of the PD part of technology.Coming in, not knowing anything, I was astonished how much revenue makes with such few people (and I still am).All the international projects.The informal but productive culture.Just after moving to Potsdam, all of a sudden I received an email from mobile.de if I could join. The small distance between my new hometown Potsdam and Dreilinden seemed as fate to me ;) The talks with mobile.de went into the right direction and gave me a good feeling. Quite spontaneously I decided for the move.I like the efficiency that lies in the relatively informal work mode. I am working on a relatively long leash ;) and have quite some freedom to try things out.
