ACTIVA CANARIAS RRHH

What ACTIVA CANARIAS RRHH does

ACTIVA CANARIAS RRHH is a regional Spanish temporary employment agency (Empresa de Trabajo Temporal, ETT) operating under the legal entity ACTIVA TRABAJO CANARIAS ETT SLU, founded in 1996 and headquartered in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The company provides temporary staffing, candidate search and selection, full process outsourcing, on-site consulting, occupational training (including PRL workplace safety), and specialized labor law advisory. Operationally it runs an integrated HR services platform through two group entities — ACTIVA TRABAJO CANARIAS ETT SLU and the wholly-owned outsourcing subsidiary FORUM ACTIVA CANARIAS S.L. — delivering six business lines: Trabajo Temporal, Selección, Outsourcing, On Site, Formación, and Legal.

The business serves a B2B customer base of more than 300 active clients across the Canary Islands spanning tourism and hospitality (Grupo Gloria Thalasso & Hotels, CACT Lanzarote), public transport (Guaguas Municipales), public administration (SPET Turismo de Tenerife, GRAFCAN, VISOCAN, GRECASA), agriculture (CULTESA), and local government (Ayuntamiento de Adeje, Ayuntamiento de El Rosario, Ayuntamiento de Arona). Distribution is anchored by a network of 14 work centers and 9 delegations covering Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote, complemented by the Epreselec online portal and Infojobs presence for candidate acquisition. The group holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications, an AENOR-verified carbon footprint report, eight consecutive years of CIEGE business excellence certification, and an approved Equality Plan under Spanish regulations.

Revenue mechanics are professional services-based: fees are charged to client companies for temporary worker contracting and administration (under Law 14/94), outsourcing contracts are priced per engagement across logistics, hospitality, facility services, commercial, public administration, and agricultural verticals, and selection and legal advisory are billed as project-based professional services. Pricing is negotiated per contract and not publicly disclosed. The GTM motion is sales-led, leveraging the physical office network, direct outreach, and partnerships with local government, chambers of commerce, employer associations, and NGOs (Cruz Roja) for both candidate sourcing and client acquisition. Director General Ramón Rojo Garnica leads the company, with commercial management distributed across the island territories.
