Conectamos talento, abrimos oportunidades.
Finding certain trades and technical profiles is becoming a challenge for many Spanish companies. Sectors such as industry, transport, logistics and other areas of activity need to incorporate professionals with experience and specific skills in positions such as welders, lorry drivers, bus drivers and other qualified profiles.
The difficulty in filling these positions is leading many companies to expand their traditional search channels and to consider international markets as part of their professional recruitment strategies.
In this context, hiring at source is presented as a tool that allows the needs of Spanish companies to be connected with professionals from other countries, in a planned manner and in accordance with the applicable requirements and procedures.
Hiring at source
Hiring at source allows companies to identify and select professionals in other countries before their arrival in Spain, facilitating international mobility processes linked to specific hiring needs.
This is not a new path, but it is a tool that is becoming increasingly relevant given the difficulties that certain sectors encounter in filling positions that require experience, technical qualification or specific trades.
Data from the Ministry of Labour reflect that this path already has a relevant presence in Spain. During 2024, 11,208 work authorisations were granted to foreign individuals through the collective management of hiring at source (GECCO).
The key, therefore, is not only to look for professionals outside of Spain, but to properly structure the entire process so that the incorporation responds to the real needs of the company.
From recruitment to incorporation
At Maude Mobility we work to connect Spanish companies with international professionals, collaborating with specialised partners in different markets to identify and select profiles according to the characteristics of each need.
Our model integrates different phases:
Company need → International search → Selection → Mobility → Incorporation / Training and upskilling for adaptation
This approach allows us to work especially with trades, technical profiles, professional drivers and qualified professionals, adapting each process to the specific requirements of the position and the company.
Identifying the right professional is only one part of the process. For an international incorporation to be truly effective, it is necessary to prepare the professional for their arrival and for the performance of their activity.
Training and upskilling: an essential part of the process
International mobility and training must be understood as complementary elements.
In certain processes, prior training can be decisive in facilitating adaptation to the position, reinforcing technical skills, preparing the professional for the particularities of the activity or addressing the specific needs identified by the company.
For this reason, at Maude Mobility we understand training as an integrated part of the solution: not only connecting professionals with companies, but contributing to ensuring that those professionals are prepared to carry out their activity with greater guarantees.
This approach allows for the design of solutions that combine international recruitment, mobility and training, depending on the specific needs of each organisation.
A solution also for companies and entities
The need for professionals does not only affect companies individually. It also poses a challenge for business associations, Chambers of Commerce and other entities that work directly with sectors that present coverage difficulties.
For these organisations, international hiring and training can become complementary tools to respond to the needs of their associated companies.
That is why at Maude Mobility we work in collaboration with companies and entities that seek to develop these types of solutions, adapting the processes to the characteristics of the sector, the demanded profiles and the training needs.
And for this connection to be sustainable, it is necessary to work on the process from beginning to end: identify the need, find the right professional, facilitate their mobility and guarantee an incorporation accompanied by the necessary training and upskilling.
