What Ananda does

Ananda Gestión Empresa de Trabajo Temporal, S.L. (Ananda ETT) is a privately held Spanish temporary-employment agency and HR services firm incorporated in 1995 and headquartered in Logroño, La Rioja, with a social address in Madrid and a stated network of 80+ branch offices across all Spanish autonomous communities. Its core business is licensed ETT activity under Spain's Ley 14/1994 and RD 4/1995, complemented by permanent and executive search (Selección y Evaluación de Talento), a strategic consulting practice (HR, payroll and Social Security administration, fiscal/labor/corporate legal advisory, family-business and non-profit consulting), bonused training delivered through FUNDAE, and an insurance brokerage (Correduría de Seguros).

The technology layer is the Ananda App (oficina-virtual.ananda.es), a web and mobile portal for both candidates and client companies that handles registration, three-step identity verification, electronic signature, timekeeping, and a searchable job-offer board, paired with a self-service online budget calculator for temp-staffing and selection quotes. The firm reports 500+ corporate clients, 50,000+ candidate placements in 2022, and a 93% SLA of contract coverage within 24 hours. The platform does not expose a public API, SDK, or documented AI/ML capabilities.

The business model is a mix of usage-based hourly billing for temporary staffing, transaction-fee recruitment, professional-services fees for consulting and training, and commission-based insurance brokerage, with no publicly disclosed fixed price lists. Distribution is hybrid: 80+ physical branches deliver local, sector-specialized consulting (across 10 named verticals including Automotive, Banca & Seguros, Sanidad, and Hostelería) and the Ananda App plus SEO-optimized sector pages handle digital self-service. Operations and data processing are confined to Spain with no international data transfers, and the firm is owned independently with no parent company, institutional investor, or cap-table details disclosed.

Core offering

Ananda is a licensed Spanish temporary employment agency (Empresa de Trabajo Temporal) that supplies temporary workers and recruits permanent staff for client companies. On top of its core staffing lines it layers HR and strategic consulting, payroll and social-security administration, fiscal and labor legal advisory, FUNDAE-subsidized workforce training (for both companies and workers), and insurance brokerage. Services are delivered through a national network of 80+ branch offices and an online virtual office (Ananda App) for self-service registration, electronic signature, identity verification, and timekeeping.

Product overview

Ananda ETT operates a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on two main service lines: Trabajo Temporal (ETT) — the core temporary-employment offering — and Selección y Evaluación de Talento (permanent recruitment and candidate evaluation). On top of this core, Ananda layers four add-on modules: Consultoría Estratégica (HR, management, legal, and family-business consulting, active since March 1995), Formación Ananda (subsidized training delivered through FUNDAE for both companies and workers), and Correduría de Seguros (insurance brokerage). All services are tied together digitally through the Ananda App / Oficina Virtual (oficina-virtual.ananda.es), which provides identity-verified account creation, electronic signature, timekeeping (fichaje), and a technical-support flow, and is also exposed via the online budget calculator (Calculadora de Presupuesto Online). The compliance side of the platform is rounded out by the Canal de Denuncias (whistleblower channel) and Canal de Igualdad (equality channel), while the Red de Oficinas (more than 80 branches across Spain) provides the in-person delivery layer for the entire portfolio.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Grupo EULEN: Spanish multinational offering integrated facility services, HR outsourcing, and staffing at much larger scale than Ananda. Comparable on the HR services and payroll-administration adjacencies, but operates a much broader portfolio beyond staffing.

Direct peers

• Eurofirms: Spanish-headquartered staffing and HR services group with a multi-sector, multi-region Spanish footprint. Most comparable mid-sized Spanish peer to Ananda by geography, sector breadth, and integrated temp/permanent/training model.
• Randstad: World's second-largest staffing firm with a substantial Spanish ETT business. Competes head-to-head with Ananda across temp staffing, permanent recruitment (Randstad Professionals), and HR solutions for Spanish clients.
• Synergie: French-origin multinational ETT with established Spanish operations offering temporary staffing, permanent recruitment, and training. Direct competitor to Ananda in the Spanish SME and mid-market temp segment.
• Michael Page: Specialist recruitment firm operating across Spain in permanent, temporary, and executive search. Competes directly with Ananda's executive-search line (Ejecutivo sector) for mid-to-senior professional placements.
• Robert Walters: International professional recruitment group with a Spanish operation focused on permanent and interim mid-to-senior placements. Direct competitor to Ananda's Ejecutivo / Banca & Seguros / TIC verticals.
• ManpowerGroup: Multinational ETT and workforce-solutions provider operating in Spain. Directly competes with Ananda on temporary staffing, executive search (via Experis), and training, serving the same Spanish enterprise and SME customer base.
• Adecco: Global staffing leader with a major ETT operation in Spain, directly competing with Ananda across temporary staffing, permanent placement, and training. Same core business model (hourly-billed temp placement plus value-added services) and overlapping regulatory license under Spanish ETT law.
• Hays: Global professional recruitment and workforce-solutions firm with strong executive-search and temp-staffing presence in Spain. Comparable to Ananda on the Selección y Evaluación de Talento line, and Ananda even links externally to the Hays Salary Guide.

Emerging players
