Contrato Trabajo is a matchmaking platform allowing Spanish employers to search for and contact foreign workers seeking seasonal or permanent opportunities in Spain, through:
In accordance with Spanish labor regulations, Contrato Trabajo cannot be likened to a recruitment agency within the meaning of Real Decreto 1796/2010 concerning placement agencies, as it does not take part in the selection or formalization of employment relationships.
By using this service, employers and applicants expressly acknowledge that Contrato Trabajo cannot be regarded as an intermediary or a participant in the recruitment process.
Contrato Trabajo is a matchmaking platform between Spanish employers and foreign workers. A candidate’s registration on Contrato Trabajo entails no hiring guarantee whatsoever. Employers remain free to contact or not contact candidates according to their needs.
Employers using the platform are solely responsible for complying with Spanish and European laws regarding hiring, employment contracts, and labor law.
Events organized by Contrato Trabajo are exclusively intended to facilitate contact and to provide information to the parties. They do not include any pre-selection or evaluation of candidates by the platform. They do not guarantee employment or commitment by the employers.

Employers bear full responsibility for their hires and the conditions they offer. Similarly, candidates are free to accept or refuse any offer without Contrato Trabajo’s involvement.
This platform is a simple technological tool aimed at increasing the visibility of profiles and organizing informative and matchmaking events, without constituting a recruitment service or an employment agency.
