Randstad  has carried out an analysis of the hiring forecasts for the 2018 summer campaign, as well as their evolution over the last eight years. The human resources consultancy predicts that this year's summer campaign will reach 66,000 hires in the Valencian Community, registering a new record. Specifically, during the months of June, July, August and September, Randstad expects that 66,680 contracts will be signed in the region in the commerce, hospitality, transportation and entertainment sectors, which represents an increase of 11.5% compared to the year previous and 91.2% more than the figure recorded in 2010 (34,870).

This good figure, however, does not hide that the Valencian Community will be one where the increase in employment will be more limited, below the national average. In this sense, La Rioja is the region that is Email Data growing the most, with 16.3%. Next are the Balearic Islands (15.8%), Castilla y León (15.7%) and Navarra (15.1%). Although the Valencian Community as a whole will grow below the average, Castellón presents an increase of 20%.

When the data for the decade is analyzed, Randstad detects that, after exceeding 34,000 contracts in 2010 in the Valencian Community, this figure decreased until it recorded the lowest hiring data in the entire historical series in 2012 (32,505). From here, this figure grew gradually over the next six years until it exceeded 66,000 contracts in 2018. During the last two years, hiring in the summer campaign in the Valencian Community has registered increases above double digits.

At the national level, Randstad also expects this year's summer campaign to set a new hiring record, surpassing 620,000 hires during the months of June, July and August. Specifically, the forecasts they manage estimate that 619,110 will be signed, which represents an increase of 12% compared to the previous year and almost double (94.5%) than the figure recorded in 2010.

In absolute terms, Andalusia is the autonomous community that registers the most hires, with 126,620. Catalunya and Comunitat Valenciana complete the podium, with 88,345 and 66,680, respectively, while Madrid reaches fourth place with 64,660 contracts. These four regions accumulate more than 55.9% of the total incorporations that will be made at the national level.

Temporary hiring, a bridge to permanent hiring
Hiring at this time of year is mainly motivated by various sectors linked to tourism, such as commerce, transportation, hospitality, and leisure and entertainment. The increase in the influx of tourists, both national and international, breaking new records year after year, is the main driver of the labor market at this time of year.




“ The summer campaign, like Christmas or Easter, is an ideal time for those professionals who want to get their first job or for those looking to re-enter the labor market, and temporary work is a key tool in these cases ,” explains Luis Pérez , director of Institutional Relations at Randstad .

Required profiles
Tourism is the main hiring engine during the summer period. During the summer of 2017, this sector once again exceeded the highest volume of workers in Spain in history, above 1.7 million employed, after increasing by 4.6% compared to the previous year.

Another milestone to take into account at this time is the sales campaign, which stands as a driver of employment in the commerce sector and in transportation and logistics, especially in recent years, derived from the increase in e-commerce . The incorporation of these profiles begins in June and continues during the months of July and August. Promoters, clerks and customer service positions find greater job opportunities in the summer period.
