Where to look for work in Spain: the sites that matter, in order

Everyone starts with InfoJobs, and everyone should — but the sites that fill the gaps are the ones most people never find. This is the list this site's own scanner works from, kept in step with it: when we add a source, it appears here.

The order matters more than the count. Work down it.

THE FOUR THAT COVER MOST OF THE MARKET

1. InfoJobs — https://www.infojobs.net/
The largest job board in Spain by a wide margin, and the first place most Spanish jobseekers look. Its vacancy listing paths are disallowed in robots.txt, so it is not crawled — but it publishes a developer API, and that is the supported route.

2. Indeed España — https://es.indeed.com/
The largest aggregator operating in Spain. Its publisher API was retired to closed partnerships; listings are not available for syndication.

3. LinkedIn Jobs — https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/
Dominant for professional and English-language roles in Madrid and Barcelona. Automated access is prohibited by its terms; it belongs in a jobseeker's routine, not in an aggregator.

4. Empléate — national job portal — https://www.empleate.gob.es/empleo/
SEPE's public vacancy portal, aggregating offers from the regional services and private partners.

If you do nothing else, put InfoJobs and one aggregator into a weekly routine. Between them they carry the majority of advertised private-sector vacancies in Spain.

THE ONE ALMOST NOBODY USES

EURES — European job mobility portal — https://europa.eu/eures/portal/jv-se/home
The EU-wide public vacancy network, carrying offers from every member state public employment service including Spain. The largest single source of official Spanish vacancies.

EURES carries vacancies from every EU member state's public employment service, Spain's included. It is free, it is official, and because it is not a commercial board it is not where everyone else is looking. That is the whole argument for it.

THE PUBLIC SERVICES — AND WHY THE REGIONAL ONE MATTERS MORE

Employment in Spain is devolved. There is a national service, SEPE, but each autonomous community runs its own with its own vacancies, its own training programmes and its own subsidies — and plenty of roles never leave the regional portal.

Register with the one for where you live, not just the national one:

Registering also matters for reasons beyond the vacancy list: it is how you access subsidised training, and it is the record that counts if you later claim unemployment benefit.

For public sector work specifically, the vacancies are published in the official gazette rather than on any job board:

BOE — public sector job calls (oposiciones) — https://www.boe.es/biblioteca_juridica/anuarios_derecho/
Every public sector competitive examination in Spain is published in the Boletín Oficial del Estado. A substantial share of Spanish employment is entered this way and it appears on no commercial job board.

THE SECTOR BOARDS

A specialist board is a smaller pool with better odds. If your work fits one of these, it should be in your rotation:

• Tecnoempleo — https://www.tecnoempleo.com/
The established Spanish IT job board. Where Spanish-owned technology companies advertise.

• Manfred — https://www.getmanfred.com/
Spanish tech recruitment with unusually transparent salary ranges — rare in this market and worth using for benchmarking.

• JobFluent — https://www.jobfluent.com/
Startup-focused, strongest in Barcelona.

• Turijobs — https://www.turijobs.com/
Tourism and hospitality specialist across Spain, Portugal and Mexico. The sector board for the biggest employer of newcomers.

• Domestika Jobs — https://www.domestika.org/en/jobs
Creative and design roles; Spanish-founded and strong in the local creative market.

• TEFL.com — https://www.tefl.com/
The largest dedicated English-teaching job board. Spain is consistently one of its biggest markets.

THE ONES FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE JUST ARRIVED

• Lingobongo Madrid — https://lingobongo.com/madrid/
A long-running free classifieds board for the language community in Madrid: teaching posts, tutoring, au pair and language-exchange work. Small ads from real people, and the kind of listing that never reaches a commercial board.

• Milanuncios — empleo — https://www.milanuncios.com/ofertas-de-empleo/
General classifieds. Informal and local work, especially outside the big cities.

• Auxiliares de Conversación — Ministerio de Educación — https://www.educacionfpydeportes.gob.es/servicios-al-ciudadano/catalogo/profesorado/profesorado-extranjero/auxiliares-conversacion/auxiliares-extranjeros-espana.html
The national language assistant programme: a fixed monthly stipend, a part-time timetable, and a visa route. Applications open in the new year for an October start.

WHAT THE LISTS ALWAYS LEAVE OUT

Three routes carry a lot of hiring in Spain and appear on no board at all.

Company career pages. Many employers publish vacancies on their own site through an applicant tracking system and never pay to advertise them. If there are ten companies you would like to work for, their careers pages are worth more than any aggregator — and there is far less competition on them.

Speculative approaches and contacts. In a market where a large share of hiring is informal, the candidatura espontánea — writing to a company with no advertised vacancy — is a normal and expected thing to do. So is asking people. This is not a shortcut around the system; in Spain it substantially is the system.

Sector collective agreements. Not a job source, but read the convenio for your sector and province before you negotiate. It sets the legal minimum for your role and it is a public document. Turning up to a salary conversation knowing that number changes the conversation.

A NOTE ON HOW WE USE THESE

This site takes listings only from sources that permit it: published APIs, RSS feeds, and pages whose robots.txt allows automated reading. Several sites on this list are excellent for a jobseeker and are not aggregated here — InfoJobs disallows automated reading of its vacancy pages and offers an API instead, and LinkedIn prohibits it outright. They are on this list because they belong in your search, not because they are in our database.

Go to them directly. That is what they are for.
