Uta Talkenberg-Rasmussen

People are more than CVs, and careers are more than job titles. The right role — at the right time — can truly change everything. Today, as a Delivery Manager at Black Swans Exist, I work closely with specialists, leaders, and executives to help them find roles where they can truly thrive — not just “fit in.” I started out in the 5-star hotel industry, moved on to the financial sector and now work in recruitment within Life Sciences, Biotech, MedTech, and Pharma. This is a unique combination of service, insights and stories that I can bring to bear in my placements. Over the past years, I’ve successfully supported 50+ placements within highly specialized and niche roles, ranging from junior specialists to C-level leaders. My focus is always on depth over volume, ensuring strong alignment, long-term success, and meaningful matches for both candidates and companies. What I do: I act as a trusted partner and career advisor, guiding candidates end-to-end through the recruitment process — from first conversation to signing the contract. My work includes: • Supporting senior and executive-level candidates across Life Sciences & Tech • Leading salary, contract, and expectation negotiations • Providing honest market insight and interview preparation • Ensuring a transparent, structured, and stress-free candidate journey • Working closely with hiring managers to ensure true long-term fit What sets me apart: ✔ Strong people focus — I invest time in understanding motivations, values & goals ✔ Deep experience in niche and complex roles ✔ High responsiveness, clarity, and reliability ✔ Ownership of recruitment processes, tools & continuous improvement ✔ Responsibility for process development and HQ operations in Copenhagen ✔ A human approach in an industry that often feels transactional My philosophy: When you’re looking for a job, you shouldn’t feel like a number. And when you’re hiring, you shouldn’t have to compromise. I believe the best results happen when expectations, culture, and ambition align — and when recruitment is done with care, honesty, and clarity. 📩 Let’s connect: Whether you’re exploring your next career step or building a strong team, I’d love to hear your story. u.talkenberg@BlackSwansExist.com
