Employees in Mallorca need a social security number (Número de Seguridad Social). EU citizens must also register in the foreigners' register.

The job market in Mallorca is shaped by tourism, hospitality, property and a growing international community. Whether you seek a permanent role, a seasonal position or freelance work, you will find current vacancies and job requests here.

The high season from April to October brings particularly strong demand in hotels, restaurants and tourist services. Year-round, skilled workers are sought in construction and trades, the property sector and IT – the latter boosted by a growing number of digital nomads on the island. German-speaking employees are especially in demand at businesses serving German tourists and residents.

Important: for legal employment in Spain you need a social security number (Número de Seguridad Social) and, as an EU citizen, registration in the foreigners' register (Certificado de Registro). Self-employed workers register as Autónomo.
