What Fundación Adecco does

Fundación Adecco is a non-profit foundation established in 1999 and headquartered in Madrid, Spain, dedicated to labor inclusion for vulnerable populations. It serves people with disabilities (33%+ recognized disability certificates), long-term unemployed individuals over 45 and 55, single-parent families, women victims of gender violence, and those at social-exclusion risk. The organization is part of The Adecco Group, the global HR services leader, which provides primary funding alongside Spanish government employment subsidies. A team of 175 specialized inclusion professionals supports candidates through personalized employment itineraries combining emotional support, CV preparation, interview coaching, training, and labor intermediation.

The foundation operates a multi-channel service platform anchored by an online employment portal (empleo.fundacionadecco.org) and a network of 12 regional offices across Spain, including Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante, Tenerife, Las Palmas, Málaga, Zaragoza, Girona, Tarragona, and Vizcaya. Its digital product layer consists of an AI Job Search Assistant (Buscador de empleo con IA) using reverse-matching technology, an AI-powered CV Maker, and the Escuela Digital training program. Supporting services include Plan Familia for early-age autonomy, scholarship programs for students with disabilities, the EMPLEARIO 360° training program, diversity and inclusion consulting for companies, advisory services on the Spanish Ley General de Discapacidad (LGD), and an internal ethics reporting channel.

Commercially, Fundación Adecco does not charge job seekers; its revenue model is non-profit foundation funding from The Adecco Group plus government employment program subsidies. On the corporate side, it offers fee-based (or compliance-driven) diversity consulting and disability law advisory services to Spanish enterprises, and it channels company donations as alternative compliance measures under disability legislation. Enterprise clients referenced include Orange, Talgo, Diversey, Philips, Saona, Alten, Bofrost, Naturgy, Fujitsu, GSK, Indra, and Radio Televisión Canaria. The organization holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, EFR, and Agencia de Colocación certifications, is a UN Global Compact member since 2003, and is officially registered with Spain's Protectorado de Fundaciones.
