You are not required to employ only Spanish people. You can hire a mix of Spanish nationals and foreign workers, but the rules differ depending on the employee's nationality. EU/EEA Nationals: You can hire citizens from the European Union, European Economic Area, or Switzerland without any special work permits. They have the right to work in Spain. Non-EU Nationals: You can hire non-EU workers, but they must have a valid work permit and residence permit before they can legally start working for you.
