Description
PwC Spain, an accounting and consulting company, is recruiting 1,300 professionals by the end of 2025, comprising approximately 500 experienced hires and 800 recent graduates. Although slightly lower than the record 1,500 new hires in previous years, the firm continues to position itself as one of the country’s leading employers. New recruits have joined all core business lines, including Audit (604), Consulting (343), Legal and Tax (226), and Transactions (164), with 52% based in Madrid, 11% in Barcelona, and 37% across 17 other regional offices.
The firm is targeting candidates who combine strong technical skills with business insight, particularly in high-demand areas such as risk management, sustainability, cybersecurity, digital transformation, generative AI, cloud, automation, and data analytics. Notably, 20% of recruits have STEM backgrounds, while 80% come from business disciplines. PwC also promotes continuous professional development through its Work Academy, a pioneering initiative offering university-accredited diplomas and a master's degree across 22 specialist areas, reflecting its commitment to talent and innovation.
