Hello there, I am new on the Spain forum, I normally can be found in the Australia forum!! Anyway was just wondering if any of you helpful people would be able to let me know of recruitment companies in Marbella/Gibraltar please.

Thanking you in advance, Sarah

I don't know of any in Marbella specifically but try these:

http://www.srgibraltar.com/
http://www.recruitspain.com

You may come across Wemploy, be aware that they don't exist anymore

Someone should inform the spanish about recruitment agencies

thank you will have a look. Had looked on google a wemploy kept coming up so appreciate it for letting me know they have shut down. Cheers Sarah

Not only that but someone should tell them the benefit of networking too. We took our neighbour (does translation and spanish/french/english teaching) to a business-2-business networking event last week. She, and all her family/friends, had never heard of such a thing... we were there 2 hours and she came away with three people that want Spanish lessons and one of our clients wants three of their websites translated into Spanish too. She's gobsmacked, they were really struggling for money and yet didn't have a clue how to go about getting more work

Spanish businesspeople network all the time, probably more so than we do in the UK, they just dont call it "networking".

In Andalucia in particular there are a host of "asociaciones" that are set up especially to network and lobby the causes of a particular collection of small business or independent workers. They are always off to dinners and conferences to network.

Plus if you ever go for a business meeting in Spain, it'll often include dinner or drinks afterwards. Rarely is this the case in the UK (and never in the US!). Allows to you to build good relationships with people who you can then ask "favours" from later. Hense the famous "enchufe" that is so important in Spanish business

You forgot to mention that if you're in a business meeting in Spain that it's completely pointless coming up with a solution within the first 5 minutes of someone mentioning a problem......they just want to talk about the problem for hours and hours and hours and hours, etc.......damn they can talk the hind legs off a donkey over here!

It`s good to talk.
