The job market changes faster than you think. The mismatch between what companies offer and what workers want, or are trained to do, leaves a job gap to fill. In Spain there are more than 150,000. A good chance?
Personal foul. 149,645. This is exactly the number of job vacancies in Spain today, a record figure. Above all, people are needed in services.

People disappear. In the midst of the mess, the ghosts are growing. Candidates who disappear in the middle of the recruitment process are on the rise. It is the ghosting.
