Executive Space

The spanish labor market is currently experiencing a period of dynamism and growth, with a significant increase in job offers and salaries. This scenario presents both opportunities and challenges for companies, which need to find the right talent to drive their growth and maintain their competitiveness.  Talent management has become a strategic priority.

In today's complex geopolitical landscape, talent management faces a growing challenge: the rise of tariffs. This situation introduces economic uncertainty that directly impacts talent attraction and the retention of professionals. Candidates, especially those with stable jobs, may show greater risk aversion and lower job mobility, fearing the potential negative repercussions on companies seeking professionals in the market.

A recent LinkedIn survey by Servitalent reveals a concerning reality: 45% of respondents say their company does not prioritize investment in employer branding, while 23% admit that although some efforts exist, there is still significant room for improvement.

At a time when attracting and retaining talent has become one of the biggest challenges for companies, can they really afford to keep ignoring the impact of their employer brand?

Attracting qualified talent for the industrial sector in rural areas is an increasingly relevant challenge in Spain. The so-called "empty Spain" offers job opportunities and a high quality of life but continues to face obstacles in attracting and retaining specialized professionals. As talent acquisition consultants, we know that identifying technical skills is not enough—it is essential to present the advantages of these locations as competitive alternatives to major urban centers.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing talent management, strategic decision-making, and business efficiency. However, its implementation must align with ethical and responsible principles. That’s why at Servitalent, we have joined the Commitment to Safe and Responsible AI in the Workplace, an initiative led by AEDIPE (Spanish Association for People Management and Development), supported by organizations such as the OECD, G7, and ILO.

At Servitalent, we understand that parting ways with an executive is a delicate process for both the company and the individual involved. Beyond financial considerations, managing this transition strategically and professionally can positively impact corporate reputation, workplace climate, and future relationships with key professionals.

However, professional transition is a specialized field that requires a distinct approach. That’s why Servitalent collaborates with Vasis Conseil, a national leader in this area, to provide top-tier executive outplacement services. Through this partnership, we help companies navigate these situations with professionalism and sensitivity.

Sustainability is no longer an option—it is an obligation within the European Union framework. With the enforcement of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), companies are required to integrate ESG criteria (Environmental, Social, and Governance) into their corporate reports. This regulatory shift is transforming how organizations manage their strategy and talent.

Access to affordable housing remains one of the biggest challenges for professionals, especially those who need to relocate for work. According to a LinkedIn survey conducted by Servitalent, the results are striking: 88% of respondents receive no support from their companies to secure housing. Only 1% report receiving financial assistance or corporate housing, while 11% cite remote work or flexible arrangements as their only form of support.

These figures reveal not only a significant gap in corporate policies but also highlight a critical issue impacting workforce mobility, the ability to close hiring agreements, and ultimately, companies’ competitiveness.

The security and defense sector in Spain is undergoing a period of transformation and growth. The geopolitical, economic, and governmental landscape is creating a favorable environment that promises to drive its development in the coming years. We analyze the key reasons why 2025 will be a decisive year for this industry and how it will impact the demand for specialized talent

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.
