The rise of AI and automation tools in Spain
In Spain, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in recruitment is still in its early stages but is gaining momentum. Many companies recognize the benefits of AI in recruitment, such as increased efficiency, reduced bias, and improved candidate experience.
One of the main advantages of using AI in recruitment is the ability to process large amounts of data quickly and accurately. This includes data from CVs, online applications, professional networks, job boards, and even assessments. AI algorithms can screen and analyse this data to identify the most qualified candidates based on specific job requirements. AI can also help reduce unconscious bias in the hiring process by removing personal identifiers such as name, gender, and age from applications, allowing companies to focus solely on a candidate’s qualifications and experience. This can lead to more diverse and inclusive hiring practices.
In Spain, several companies are already using AI and technology in their recruitment process. For example, Jobandtalent, has developed an AI-powered platform that automates the entire recruitment process, from sourcing candidates to scheduling interviews. The platform uses machine learning algorithms to predict which candidates are most likely to accept a job offer, allowing companies to focus their efforts on those candidates.
Madrid-based Viterbit have developed a multi-channel recruitment platform, with 360º management and an automatic candidate validation system fuelled by AI. In October 2022, they closed their first round of financing with a value of €1.6M.
In addition to AI, technology also plays a key role in recruitment in Spain. Video interviewing platforms such as Talentoo allow companies to conduct remote interviews, saving time and money on travel expenses. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are also being used to simulate job environments and assess a candidate’s skills and competencies.
Overall, the use of AI and technology in recruitment in Spain is still in its early stages, but it is a growing trend. Companies that embrace these technologies can potentially save time and money while improving the quality of their hires. However, it is important for companies to ensure that their use of AI is ethical and transparent, and that they remain mindful of the potential biases that can arise.

How Allen Recruitment is shaping the future of recruitment
Allen Recruitment is leading the way in innovation and the use of technology in the recruitment industry in Spain. Our founder Louise Allen and Managing Director Brian Cunningham have brought their technical background to the forefront, developing a unique approach to recruitment that has been recognized as the future of recruitment by industry technology leaders.
At Allen Recruitment, Automation has been a key factor in our ability to find and engage with potential candidates efficiently. By using automation, we can engage with every potential candidate up to 10 times in the required timeframe, without requiring excessive manpower and time. This ensures that we are able to identify the best talent for our clients.
Automated scheduling tools have also been a crucial part of our recruitment process. We have enabled potential candidates to select an available time and method that suits them best, by providing links to our recruiters’ calendars in every automated attempt to engage a potential candidate. This has ensured that our recruiters are able to fill their diaries with candidates who want to talk to them about our clients’ roles at a time that suits them best. This has made our candidate screening even more thorough, as the candidates have the time to talk in detail about the role, location, and client they are interested in.
One of the ways in which we have been able to stay ahead of the curve is by using data-driven techniques. Our CRM is a key tool in enabling us to source, search, and filter data to find potential candidates who are considering changing positions. By having access to high-quality data, we can map where talent is, and contact potential candidates who might be interested in our client’s roles and locations. Cloud computing has also been essential to our success. By using industry-leading products, we have built world-class solutions that work together seamlessly. This has enabled us to stay up-to-date with the newest and most innovative products.
While AI, machine learning, and other similar technologies are not yet fully mature, we are making the investment to teach AI what to look for and ensure that it has access to high-quality data. We believe that AI will become a big part of what we do in the future, and we are committed to staying at the forefront of the recruitment industry in Spain by continuing to innovate and use technology to our advantage.
At Allen Recruitment, we think differently about recruitment. We are a technology and data driven recruitment agency. Our solution is the future of recruitment and allows us to find and engage with potential candidates that are currently considering changing positions. We’re an international recruitment company with a recruitment agency based in Spain, as well as all over Europe.
“The key takeaway is that Allen Recruitment thinks differently about recruitment and possesses technological advantages that enable its recruiters to find better candidates faster.” – Maurice Fuller, founder of one of the largest staffing technology conferences in the US.
