Job Description

Who are we?

Jobandtalent is the first Digital Staffing Agency. In other words, we are a workforce on-demand company that relies heavily on tech. We are revolutionizing the staffing world by using technology where there was only paperwork and we are having some exciting technical challenges along the way.

We integrate the complete process of selecting, hiring and managing employees, being the first in digitizing all the steps, introducing Artificial Intelligence solutions in multiple phases, obtaining faster and higher-quality service for our clients and great satisfaction and loyalty for our workers.

Our headquarters are located in Madrid, but we have a second big presence in Barcelona and we are also looking for new members to join our Data Team there.

Jobandtalent was founded in 2009,Since then it has obtained financing worth more than 80 million euros from the best technological risk capital funds in Europe, becoming one of the most valued Spanish startups internationally with current revenues of over 200 million euros per year.

Our Impact on Society

Our vision is to create long-term job security conditions for our workers while providing flexible solutions to our clients. We can do this by concatenating different short-term contracts and minimizing or completely removing–their unemployed time. We want to remove the need for finding a job ever again.

We want to help companies hire the best professionals in a more flexible way, improving their productivity while helping millions of workers increase their employability, income and quality of life.


Our technology

All this is made possible due to the technology we have created, which is based on 5 pillars:

  • An algorithm that matches workers with real-time offers in the app
  • A database with all our workers with a rating system based on big data analytics
  • A digital contracting process that allows the worker to sign his contract in the app and upload all the necessary documents
  • A CRM for the calculation and automatic payment of payroll
  • Tools and algorithms for optimizing schedules and monitoring performance


We are Data-Driven. Being the owner of the entire hiring funnel, workforce management, and working experience, give us very unique data that we transform in powerful knowledge to make better decisions, improve job-candidate matches, estimate quality and affinity, and share performance feedback with our workers and clients. We are the most advanced workforce on-demand company thanks to our data and the way we use it.
