Presentation of the results of the Survey of Employment Needs and Professional Profiles conducted on a biennial basis among companies in Gipuzkoa, where they are asked about their employment and hiring forecasts, the type of profile required and the greatest difficulties they encounter in hiring.

This survey, carried out simultaneously by the business associations of the three historical territories integrated in Confebask, will allow us to accompany the different social agents in the planning of the educational-training offer and to the companies to find people prepared and adjusted to their needs.

The survey aims to be a business contribution to better knowledge of the labor market and their needs, taking the pulse directly to those who hire; the companies. We were able to collect first-hand information about their expectations and forecasts regarding the planned activity and hiring, the profiles and specializations required, the qualification and training needs they demand, and the difficulties in finding the employees they need.
