InfoJobs, LinkedIn and Indeed compared for Spanish vacancies, recruiter inbound and one-tap applications, with Milanuncios for local and trade work.
Between a job posting going live at 9 a.m. and the first hundred applications arriving by lunch, the window where a CV actually gets noticed has shrunk to hours. The phone changed the hunt in two directions: instant alerts let you apply the same day, and increasingly recruiters search instead of waiting, which means a maintained profile can pull offers to you. The 3 apps in this guide split the Spanish market by function. InfoJobs owns the domestic vacancy pool and application tracking; LinkedIn is where qualified profiles are found; Indeed aggregates postings from across the web. The FAQs also cover Milanuncios for hospitality, trades and local jobs.
InfoJobs is Spain's dominant job board: the largest domestic vacancy pool, two-tap applications, custom alerts and tracking that shows when your CV was opened.
InfoJobs is the compulsory stop for job hunting in Spain. It holds the largest pool of domestic vacancies, supports applications in a couple of taps, lets alerts run on saved criteria and — the feature users genuinely value — tracks every application and shows whether anyone has opened the CV, which turns a blind submission into a measurable one. The same scale creates its problems: competition on every listing is heavy, temp agencies post duplicate offers, and the paid premium profile has doubtful returns for most candidates.
LinkedIn turns the search around — recruiters find you, vacancies exist nowhere else, and Open to Work quietly signals you are listening, essential for qualified profiles.
LinkedIn is the global professional network, simultaneously a living CV, a contacts database and a job board, and for qualified profiles it is the strongest single channel: a meaningful share of technical and management vacancies are published only there, and recruiters proactively search candidates instead of waiting for applications. The discreet Open to Work setting signals availability without broadcasting it to your current employer. It is far less useful for non-qualified roles, Premium is expensive, and the feed increasingly carries content unrelated to job hunting.
Indeed aggregates vacancies from thousands of boards and company sites, adds employee reviews and supports one-tap applications with a stored CV.
Indeed is the largest job search engine globally, pulling listings from thousands of portals and employer websites into one search, which regularly surfaces openings no individual board lists. A stored CV enables one-tap applications, and company reviews written by actual employees help separate genuine opportunities from problematic workplaces before spending time on them. Because much of the index is aggregated, some listings are stale, applications often redirect out to other job boards, and the filters are less refined than dedicated rivals'.

Questions & answers
Which job apps suit my type of work?
For office or qualified profiles, LinkedIn first and InfoJobs second, because many technical and management roles exist only on LinkedIn. For cross-sector searches, InfoJobs plus Indeed cover most of the Spanish market. For hospitality, trades, delivery and local work, Milanuncios and Indeed perform surprisingly well, with direct employer contact and no long selection processes.
How do I make an application stand out?
Speed and fit. Applications sent within the first few hours get more attention, so switch on instant alerts and apply the same day. Mirror the posting's keywords in the CV, because automated filters reject on vocabulary before a human reads anything. On LinkedIn, complete the profile to 100 per cent with a professional photo; recruiters filter for completeness.
Are Indeed's company reviews actually useful?
Yes, when read for patterns rather than individual opinions. If twenty reviews repeat high turnover or unpaid overtime, that is valuable intelligence before accepting; treat both the bitter ex-employee and the polished five-star corporate response with caution, and read how the company replies to criticism. Glassdoor, integrated into many results, adds salary data on top.
