Adecco launches eight thousand jobs: summer knocks at your door

Published on May 19, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Adecco has made a move and is publishing 8,000 job offers in Spain. This move responds to the need to fill temporary positions in hospitality, tourism, and retail, with a special focus on coastal areas and major cities such as Barcelona, Madrid, and Valencia. They are looking for waiters, cooks, and sales assistants with immediate availability.

The technology driving seasonal employment 🤖

Behind this avalanche of contracts, there is not only human need, but also matching algorithms and HR management platforms. Adecco uses artificial intelligence systems to filter resumes and assign candidates to high-turnover positions. The process relies on mobile apps and online portals that allow applicants to apply in minutes, optimizing the response to a demand that has grown 15% compared to last year.

The drama of being a waiter in August 😅

8,000 offers sound like glory, but watch out: most are three-month contracts, with fair wages and schedules that would make a robot cry. The trick is immediate availability, which in practice means putting aside your beach plans to serve mojitos under a blazing sun. That said, the work experience guarantees you a good story to tell in winter... and a sore back.
