Domestika

As stated on their webpage, Domestika is considered the largest community for creative professionals to share their projects contribute to, and learn forums as well as finding employment. In other words, a freelance website.

A few jobs offered on their webpage include being a content manager, Analyst, consulting, video editing, and more.

Cognizant

Provider of consulting, information technology and business processes, Cognizant offers English roles in Barcelona and Madrid only. Looking at their website they seem to prefer those with a lot more experience. Nevertheless, some of the roles they offer include QA engineer, Quality Analyst, and more.

Henkel

A German-based company with offices worldwide with leading innovations, brands, and technologies in three main business areas that includes: Adhesive Technologies, Beauty Care, and Laundry & Home Care.

Henkel’s English-speaking roles in Spain are only based in Barcelona and includes entry-level roles to professionals. They also offer internships for students, a few of which I applied for but not my application was not successful.

Fever

Specialises in digitising local experiences, from gigs to theatre, pop-ups, and so on. The company is based in America and some parts of Europe, in this case, Barcelona and Madrid.

They offer roles such as communication Specialist, writer, and community manager. They emphasise a lot on American English, but hey! do not let that push you away.

EIMS

This is a Telemarketing and Sales company. As stated on their website, they help technology companies sell better, faster, and efficiently. Their English roles in Spain are only based in Barcelona only and include sales roles, digital marketing, and those that involve leadership.

I must however say that a lot of job advertisements I have come across that involve English speaking are the sales roles and yes, a lot of cold calling.

CPM

A Telebusines company, mostly subcontracting, with their English roles are only based in Barcelona. A lot of their job roles are sales focused and includes:

  • Customer service and sales agent
  • Admin quality contact

Teleperformance

Just as CPM, this is also a Telebusiness company that subcontracts with companies such as Disney, Google, etc. They offer jobs in Barcelona, Madrid, Coruña, and Jaén. However, their English job roles are only based in Madrid and Barcelona. Examples of these include:

City Job Offers

This is a recruitment company that specialises in multilingual Job offers, operating in Barcelona, Lisbon, Athens, and Valencia.

They work with companies looking to hire candidates with European languages, all you simply have to do is send them your best CV and once your profile matches with a company, they contact you with all the details. They also support with relocation process.

If you are good with sales as an English speaker, this will be great for you as most of their job offers are sales-based and comes with a lot of cold calling in their description.

Moreover, they offer the chance to apply with themselves as a recruitment agent or an interviewer.

JobNexus

Offers the same services as City Job offers but provides far more countries to choose from. Simply send your CV, pay a little fee (based on the country of your choice), and get matched with recruiters.

Final Note: many of these companies mentioned will be happy to help with the relocation process if they feel you meet their job requirements; some on the other hand may not be that generous so it is important to brief yourself on how you can obtain the Spanish NIE and Social Security Number.

Happy Hunting !
