In order to develop their activity in Spain, Belarusian entrepreneurs need to take into account the peculiarities of the local labour market and establish solid business connections with business partners. There are official employee search tools in Spain, as well as events and organisations that facilitate business cooperation.
Where to look for personnel?
The Spanish labour market offers several official channels for the recruitment of workers:
- Professional platforms. The most widely used job search portals in Spain are InfoJobs, LinkadIn and Indeed. Companies can publish their job offers, and candidates can send their CVs.
- Public employment services. The Servicio Público de Empleo Estatal (SEPE) offers support programmes for employers and facilitates recruitment.
- Recruitment agencies. Human resources agencies offer search services for professionals at different levels, including specialised profiles and managerial positions.
- Chambers of commerce. Regional and international chambers of commerce help companies find both professionals and business partners.
How to attract qualified talent?
Spanish labour law regulates recruitment and remuneration conditions. Employers must comply with a number of requirements, among them:
- Formal hiring. All employment relationships must be formalised by contract in accordance with current legislation.
- Wages according to sectoral agreements. In Spain there are minimum wages established by economic sectors, regulated by collective agreements.
- Guarantees for workers, such as compulsory social security contributions, paid holidays, paid public holidays, sick leave and compensation in the event of dismissal.
Where to look for business partners?
The Spanish market is open to international cooperation, and employers have various tools at their disposal to find strategic partners:
- Business associations and clusters. Joining professional organisations provides access to networking and business opportunities.
- Trade fairs and conferences. Industry events, both national and international, provide an ideal environment for establishing business relationships.
- B2B meetings and forums. Organised meetings allow potential partners and investors to be identified.
Administrative issues and legal support
The formalisation of contracts and personnel management require knowledge of the Spanish legal framework. Labour and tax issues are regulated by national regulations. The Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Spain offers legal and administrative advisory services related to business activity.
