So to help you make the right decision and maximise your hiring resources, we’ve compiled this list of the 12 best job sites in Spain. Each of the job websites on this list, containing both premium and free Spanish job boards, offers its own benefits.
We’ll also give you a few tips on overcoming some of the common challenges that you might face while starting your search. From Madrid to Barcelona to the Balearic Islands, get ready to find your new hire!
How do we know the best free job boards?
We’ve helped more than 100,000 companies post job ads to over 250 job sites worldwide, with Spain being one of our main markets. In fact, as we write this article for you, over 108,000 job ads posted with JOIN are online right now!
You can use our multiposting tool to automatically post your job ad to 15+ free job boards (and another 250+ premium ones) with just one click.
See for yourself how JOIN can help your hiring—it’s free:
1. Infojobs
Infojobs is one of the most popular job boards in Spain, with millions of registered job seekers. The platform is a generalist job site, meaning you can find candidates who search for jobs in practically any type of industry or profession. With JOIN, you can enjoy Infojobs’ premium job ad placement at a hefty discount.
2. Tecnoempleo
Tecnoempleo is a specialised employment website focused on tech talent attraction, and it is one of the most popular websites to find tech talent in Spain. This means that if you want to attract job seekers for Technology and IT jobs, Tecnoempleo is probably the right place for you!
3. LinkedIn
Although not specifically a Spanish job board, LinkedIn is a prime player in the Spanish job site market. LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional networking platform that’s not only a job portal, but also a social network where employees and employers can connect.
The platform has over 15 million users in Spain, making it a valuable resource for finding top talent. Posting to LinkedIn means you can enjoy maximum exposure for your job ads.
4. Indeed
Another behemoth in the job market. Indeed is a global job website and, as the largest job board in the world, one of the best spots to place your job offers.
Bear in mind that this is a generalist job board, so expect high reach yet also a high chance of unqualified candidates applying. Nevertheless, for many companies, Indeed remains an invaluable part of their talent attraction strategy.
5. Infoempleo
The next item on our list of the best job boards in Spain is Infoempleo. Infoempleo is one of the most popular online portals for finding talent in Spain, with over 7 million registered job seekers.
The platform also offers a section for international jobs, meaning that if your company is based outside of Spain, you can post your job ad to this section to attract Spanish talent.
6. Monster
Monster, one of the oldest job boards globally, was founded in 1994 and attracts over 35 million unique visits every month across more than 50 countries. Unsurprisingly, it’s also one of the most well-known job sites in Spain to post your job ads to.
As a generalist job site, Monster helps you reach a diverse range of job-hunting professionals. Note that Monster only offers paid job posting options, so free job postings are not available.
7. Rviewer
Rviewer is a job board tailored for the tech industry, focusing on matching skilled developers with top companies. It offers a unique approach by providing coding challenges and technical assessments to ensure candidates meet specific job requirements.
The job site also supports employers with a streamlined hiring process and in-depth candidate evaluations. Ideal for tech companies seeking vetted talent, Rviewer is a valuable resource for finding your next developer.
8. Jobrapido
Jobrapido operates on a global scale, offering job listings in more than 58 countries and serving millions of users.
As a job search engine, it aggregates listings from various sources, simplifying the process for job seekers to find opportunities. Employers can post jobs directly on Jobrapido, with options for targeted advertising based on user search behaviour and location.
9. Remotive
Remotive is a niche job board focusing on remote work opportunities, particularly within the tech sector. It offers free job postings with optional premium upgrades that include features like job ad highlighting and access to a resume database.
Remotive’s targeted approach makes it a favourite among startups and tech companies seeking to hire remote workers globally.
10. Relocate.me
Relocate.me is a job board designed for technicians seeking opportunities to move to a different country or city. Branding itself as a niche job board for tech professionals looking to relocate, it maintains a strong focus on technical roles.
To succeed on this platform, your company should offer some form of relocation services to potential candidates. However, if you need engineering talent and are willing to provide a relocation package, Relocate.me is an excellent place to find your next hire.
11. Experteer
Experteer specialises in executive profiles, providing candidates with high-level educational backgrounds. It is ideal for specific needs, notably offering a headhunting service.
Candidates have significant salary expectations, ranging from €45,000 to over €200,000 annually. In the candidate database, you can search for your future team member by function, industry, or career level.
12. FlexJobs
Since 2007, FlexJobs has established itself as a trusted and friendly platform for finding remote jobs, now covering over 50 career fields worldwide.
FlexJobs supports talent by thoroughly researching and screening every job posted on their platform. They also offer career coaching, resume reviews, mock interviews, and webinars.
Challenges of finding the right talent in Spain
Spain is the fourth-largest economy in the European Union in 2024, offering many opportunities for businesses looking to hire global talent or expand into new territories. But despite its impressive size, the Spanish job market can be challenging when trying to attract the right talent.
Effect of the market on job sites in Spain
For example, even though Spain, as of February 2023, holds the highest unemployment rate in the entire European Union, the market simultaneously still suffers from labour shortages above the global average.
The result is a tight job market in some sectors and professions but an overcrowded market in others. And that will be reflected on the Spanish job portals to which you plan to publish your job ad. This means that the best job board in Spain for your needs will strongly depend on the type of role you’re trying to fill.
A solution here is to use niche job boards (see the list above) that increase your chances of targeting the best candidates for the job, without your ad being flooded by unqualified candidates desperately looking for employment.

Language and location
Since you’re reading this article, chances are you are either not based in Spain yourself or you are but don’t speak Spanish (or both). Both of these points can make it difficult to determine which of the Spanish job sites out there are actually the best for your hiring needs.
For example, fully Spanish-speaking job sites might be difficult to navigate if you don’t know the language. And just focusing on English-speaking, international job platforms (like some of these remote job boards) might mean you’re not reaching the best Spanish talent for your role.
Instead, a great approach is to diversify your strategy and not just focus on one (general) job board. For example, you can use a free recruiting software solution (like JOIN) that contains a multiposting feature. This allows you to publish your job ad on a bunch of different platforms at the same time.
Targeting Spanish talent and beyond
Using the websites listed above will help improve your chances of finding and hiring the right person for your open role. Depending on your hiring needs (and the urgency), you can decide to publish your opening to one site first to test the waters before trying out other job search sites.
Alternatively, you can use a recruitment tool (like an applicant tracking system with multiposting functionality) to directly post your ad to multiple job boards with just one click. This will help you speed up your talent attraction process as you can instantly reach millions more candidates than if you would use each job board one by one.
