|
|
|
MILAN & MADRID--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bending Spoons, the technology company behind products such as WeTransfer and Meetup, has opened an office in Madrid. The decision is underpinned by Spain's strong talent pool, fuelled by excellent universities, and by Madrid's international appeal and its quality of life.
“We're impressed by the talent we've seen in Spain. This year, we've received around 10,000 Spain-based applicants every month, and many of them perform among the very best candidates in our selection process. The calibre of education offered by Spanish universities is particularly high, and over the next few years we're hoping to grow our team in Madrid into the hundreds,” says Andrea Maiorana, talent data lead.
Located in the Recoletos area, the office is the company's third European base, following the Milan headquarters and the recently opened London branch. The office is in one of the city's most coveted locations, within walking distance of Retiro Park and the Prado Museum.
