The Importance of the Candidate’s Profile

When it comes to obtaining a residency permit for a non-EU citizen, there are a number of factors that need to be taken into consideration. One of the most important factors is the current situation in the Spanish job market. In order to obtain a residency permit as an employee for a Spanish company, when the applicant is not a Highly Qualified Professional, it is necessary to demonstrate that the candidate’s profile is unique and valuable enough to the Spanish job market that it justifies their admission into the country.

It is important to note that another key requirement for obtaining a residence permit for a non-EU citizen is to have a valid job offer. Without a job offer, it is not possible to obtain a residency permit for a non-Spanish citizen for employment purposes. The job offer must come from a company that is registered in Spain and is willing to hire the candidate. The job offer should also meet the minimum salary requirements set by the Spanish government, which can vary depending on the job sector and the candidate’s level of experience. Therefore, it is essential for candidates to first secure a job offer from a registered company in Spain before initiating the process of obtaining a residency permit.

In a recent successful case we had at Lexidy, a car-sharing multinational company in Spain was in dire need of a candidate to fill a position for paternity leave within the next few weeks. Before seeking the assistance of an immigration lawyer, the multinational company had attempted to apply for a residence permit for the manager on their own; however, they failed miserably. The process had taken longer than expected, and they could not meet the complex requirements of the Spanish immigration system. As a result, they lost several weeks in their search for the ideal candidate. This is where a reliable immigration lawyer came in. After the help of an experienced immigration lawyer that they were able to move forward with the application process more efficiently and effectively. The urgency of filling the position quickly had become an even greater priority, and the immigration lawyer was able to streamline the process and meet the deadline for the candidate to start working on time. The successful outcome, in this case, was a result of the company recognizing the need for legal assistance and seeking the help of an experienced immigration lawyer to help them navigate the complex Spanish immigration system.

The job that needed to be filled was a management position in the repair department. The position required a unique set of skills, combining in-depth knowledge of automotive mechanics with strong business management capabilities. The successful candidate was required to be able to manage both the mechanical and administrative aspects of the department. The candidate had to be able to manage and motivate a team of repair technicians while also being able to analyze the financial performance of the department and develop strategies to improve profitability. In this specific case, the candidate had a degree in automotive mechanics and also held an MBA, making him the ideal fit for the position.

The immigration lawyer worked tirelessly to help the company find the perfect candidate. Through their extensive knowledge of the Spanish job market and the requirements for obtaining a residency permit, they were able to help the company navigate the process quickly and efficiently. Together, the company and the immigration lawyer were able to identify a candidate who was not only an ideal fit for the job but who also brought unique skills and talents to the company that were in short supply in the Spanish job market.

In addition to their expertise, the candidate also had a proven track record of success in their previous positions. They had achieved significant results in their previous roles, and the company was confident that they would be able to achieve similar results in their new position. This was a critical factor that gave the company confidence in hiring the candidate.

In the end, the company was able to obtain a residency permit for the candidate quickly and efficiently, and the candidate was able to begin working within a few weeks. The company was thrilled with the results, and they knew that they had made the right decision in hiring the candidate.

It is important to note that while obtaining a residency permit for a non-EU citizen can be a challenging process, it is not impossible. If the candidate’s profile is unique and valuable enough to the Spanish job market, and if they possess the necessary skills and expertise that cannot be found in the local workforce, then there is a good chance that they will be able to obtain a residency permit. It is also important to work with an experienced immigration lawyer who can help navigate the complex process and ensure that all requirements are met. With the right candidate and legal representation, obtaining a residency permit for a non-Spanish citizen can be a successful and rewarding experience for all involved.

It also highlights the importance of working with a knowledgeable and experienced immigration lawyer who can help guide you through the process and identify the ideal candidate for your company.
