Looking For A Job In Spain? These Are The Best Websites To Start Your Job Search

Whether you’re already living in Spain or you’re thinking about moving to Spain, finding the right job is essential. While many people retire to Spain, many more choose to relocate earlier in life and, let’s face it, we all need a job to keep that Spanish roof over our heads and tapas in our bellies!

So how do you find a job in Spain? Like so many things, the internet has revolutionised the Spanish job market, and the best place to start your job search is online.

These websites are perfect if you’re moving to Spain as well as if you already live and work in the country and are looking for your next job opportunity. Many jobs are listed in Spanish, but if you’re not a fluent Spanish speaker then you can use the translate tool to help with your search.

LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a global network and a great place to find new job opportunities, as well as to build relationships with peers in your business arena. So one of the first things you should do before you start a job search is ensure your LinkedIn profile is up to date. You can search for jobs by job title or search term, as well as by preferred location. Many recruiters also use LinkedIn to find potential applicants so you may find that by updating your profile and putting your CV out there, recruiters come to you.

The Local Jobs

The Local is a website that offers local news for countries across Europe, and The Local have their own job site where you can search specifically for jobs in Spain. You can search for careers by category, or drill down using specific search terms. Because this is a website written in English and aimed at expats, most of the job descriptions are written in English too. This makes it a great place to start your search if you're still working on improving your Spanish language skills.

El País / Monster

If you’ve been living in Spain a while then you’ll know that El Pais is a popular newspaper in the country, and they have joined forces with the global job portal Monster to create their own job search network. You can search for jobs and then save the ones you're interested in with this tool. You can also upload your CV and choose to make it searchable, so recruiters looking for what you're offering may even approach you.

Indeed

One of the biggest job websites in the world is Indeed, and they also have a huge presence in Spain. You can search thousands of jobs by location and keyword. Indeed also offers great tools for job searchers, such as helping you improve your CV. One of the best aspects of it is it has thousands of opinions from users and candidates who have already had the experience of working for the same company or have already been through the interview process, so you can check it's a good company to work for before you even send your application.

InfoJobs

InfoJobs is officially the leading job search portal in Spain. The website was established in 1988 and it is the first place most Spanish job seekers will go when they’re looking for a new job. Because of its longevity and popularity, more Spanish employers than ever list their opportunities on Info Jobs.

And as a job hunter the website offers great search tools to help you find exactly what you’re looking for.

Laboris

This is a uniquely Spanish online employment agency, and it attracts smaller businesses because the site allows companies to sign up and publish their first two job offers for free. If location is important to you then this is a great site to choose because you can use geolocation settings to search for the jobs that are closest to your Spanish home.

Trabajamos

If you’re self-employed and looking for new opportunities then Trabajamos is the best social employment site in Spain.

Adecco

The Adecco website covers both employment and career guidance and offers specialist human resource services.

Milanuncios

Milanuncios is not solely a job website, but it’s still a great place to look for a job. And while you’re looking for a job you could also find second-hand items for sale, search for professional services or even find apartments for rent.
