“A COMPANY IS KNOWN FOR ITS PEOPLE. GREAT PEOPLE MAKE GREAT COMPANIES”

With over 150 years’ experience, IBERDROLA is one of the world’s largest private electric companies. Its services, provided nearly to 30 million customers, focus on the generation, transport, distribution and marketing of electricity and natural gas.

At IBERDROLA, we believe that without the benefit of a qualified, motivated team, with a varied knowledge base, it would not be possible to achieve the approved strategic goals. Without a doubt, our most important asset is our people. From that perspective, at IBERDROLA, we recruit, identify and incorporate the best talent, analysing the attitudes and behaviours required for each job, assigning the best person to perform the functions required in each job. At the same time, we always respect the applicable legislation and the best professional techniques.

We take on and promote the following principles, which make up our Recruitment and Selection Policy [PDF]:

• RESPECTING equal opportunities and promoting non-discrimination on the basis of race, gender, nationality, religion, age or any other personal, physical or social condition. This will guarantee the capability of incorporating, motivating and retaining the best talent, maintaining the ethical and legal principles expected of a company of trust, consistency and in line with the values of our customers, shareholders, employees and community.
• MAINTAINING and FOSTERING universal hiring so that the recruitment and selection processes include all the professionals who fit the required skills profile, without exclusions of any type that limit the effectiveness of the selection.
• ENSURING that the selection is made based solely on merit and capability criteria, guaranteeing that all applicants receive the same treatment during the entire process.
• DEVELOPING the procedures that enable the ideal applicants to be identified and evaluated based on the required knowledge, attitudes, abilities and/or skills for the different jobs.
• COMPLYING with the applicable legislation in each country, guaranteeing all applicants the highest level of confidentiality in accordance with the current data protection regulations.
 

These principles, together with the IBERDROLA´s commitment to quality employment, training and professional development, position us as the energy company favourite among employees (mercoPersonas Ranking 2012(*)), and as a socially committed 21st Century company (mercoResponsables Ranking 2012(*)).
