Average salary
in Spain

If your budget is less than the average salary in Spain, or if you have been searching for suitable talent over a long period of time, you would have two options to increase your chances of finding suitable candidates:

Option 1: Increase the budget

Sometimes when searching for talent in unfamiliar markets, expectations of candidate costs do not meet reality. Finding a way to increase the budget might be the push your talent search needs and is worthy of consideration when possible.

Option 2: Search for talent is less expensive markets

Another option, if the employee does not need to be based precisely in Spain, is to search for talent in markets that have less expensive but still highly qualified talent. For example, you might open the search to include Portugal, since salaries are generally lower there. With Horizons, you have access to the global marketplace and the flexibility to pivot when necessary.

The Canary Islands and Extremadura offer the lowest average salaries in Spain, with each clocking in at just over €1,400 per month.
