As consultants specializing in the industrial sector, we frequently encounter what is commonly referred to as the "last mile": attracting qualified talent is just the first step. The real challenge arises when these professionals face barriers like high living costs, especially in cities or regions where our clients operate. This challenge is particularly evident in areas with soaring rental prices, which limit mobility and hinder the recruitment of valuable profiles in key sectors.

At Servitalent, we understand that talent management is the heart of any competitive organization. We help companies find and develop the right people, but we also recognize that to do this effectively, we need innovative tools that allow us to be fast, precise, and adaptable. This belief led us to a key strategic decision: to embrace technological autonomy to optimize our talent processes.

The recent report from the Regional Observatory of BBVA Research has shed light on the economic outlook that Spain's autonomous communities will face in 2025.

In the industrial sector, selecting the right talent for leadership roles is critical to ensuring long-term competitiveness and success. Crafting an outstanding job offer is the first step toward attracting top candidates.

The concept of "quiet ambition" is gaining momentum as a trend in talent management, promoting a more introspective form of ambition focused on balancing professional growth with quality of life. Unlike traditional ambition, where rapid advancement is the goal, this new approach redefines success by prioritizing personal satisfaction and well-being.

According to the latest report by the Family Business Institute, 67% of family businesses lack a defined succession plan, a concerning figure that jeopardizes the continuity of these organizations, which are a cornerstone of Spain's business landscape. Even more alarming is the fact that only 33% of family businesses make it to the second generation, and a mere 13% survive to the third.

Often, the lack of succession planning is not solely due to technical or financial challenges but also to family dynamics that hinder decision-making. While generational transitions are inevitable, they are often postponed, opening the door to internal conflicts and threatening long-term viability.
