What must my Spanish employer prove to hire me under the general work regime?

The employer must be registered in the Social Security system and up to date with their tax and Social Security obligations. They must also demonstrate they have enough economic, material, or personal resources to run the business and meet the contract obligations.

The job offer is normally subject to the national employment situation, meaning the role should appear on a shortage occupation list or the employer must show the post could not be filled locally. The employment contract must guarantee continuous activity for the authorization period, with conditions complying with applicable law and collective agreements for that role and location.
