Company Christmas dinners, beyond being a festive event, provide a unique opportunity to observe soft skills that do not always emerge in the daily work environment. From communication abilities to emotional intelligence, these informal gatherings can reveal crucial aspects of personality and team dynamics.

In Spain, the aging workforce is no longer a projection—it’s a reality. Recent studies reveal that by 2030, over 40% of the working-age population will be over 50 years old. This demographic shift presents unique challenges for the labor market: while accumulated experience becomes increasingly valuable, adapting to a fast-evolving technological landscape is now essential.

As a new year begins, businesses in Spain face a series of key challenges in talent management. In a context marked by technological transformation, globalization, and regulatory changes, CEOs and HR managers have the opportunity to position themselves strategically to lead the market.

As 2024 nears its end, Servitalent conducted a LinkedIn survey to assess the current state of training in artificial intelligence (AI). The results are revealing and highlight a significant challenge for businesses and their teams:

As 2024 comes to a close, businesses are looking ahead to 2025 with new challenges on the horizon. Interim management is emerging as a key solution to tackle these challenges effectively. Why should your company consider hiring temporary executives or interim managers next year? Here are 10 essential reasons:

Rapid growth is a critical stage in the life of any SME, bringing with it new challenges, particularly in talent management. Securing major contracts, entering new markets, or developing strategic projects require an internal structure aligned with expansion needs. In this context, the HR department becomes a fundamental pillar, but how can you manage it without incurring high costs while maintaining the flexibility that today’s environment demands?

Expanding into new markets is a strategic goal for many companies, but conducting talent selection processes abroad without a local team can be a risky endeavor. Companies with international operations face unique challenges when attempting to manage these processes remotely. To ensure effective hiring, it is essential to understand the risks of recruiting in foreign countries and how to mitigate these obstacles intelligently and strategically.

77% of survey respondents highlight unqualified hires as the greatest risk of skipping background checks, while only 13% point to reputational damage. However, reputational risk can be far more critical than it seems, especially when hiring for strategic roles.

2024 has marked a year of extraordinary achievements for Servitalent in international recruitment. This success wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support and excellence of our global partners. We want to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude to them. Their professionalism and commitment have empowered Spanish companies that trust us to access top-tier talent worldwide.

In recent years, generative artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved from a futuristic concept into an essential tool for optimizing business processes. However, many companies remain focused on pilot programs and theoretical applications, while real-world demands call for tangible results and operational improvements.

At Servitalent, we’ve integrated generative AI into our daily operations, optimizing talent management to increase team efficiency and deliver real added value to our clients.
