They advertise Spanish hiring in Q1 2020. Need to check if their job board "guarantees" Spanish contracts.

Recently I started:

https://github.com/remote-es/remotes

, where I list companies which hire people under full-time Spanish contracts following Spanish labor law. In Spain (and I'm sure many other places), working for foreign companies is painful, and thus most remote job boards are quite annoying to use- most of the offers are not interesting for people not wanting to go through the pains of working for foreign companies.

I figured out that there aren't that many companies hiring remoties in Spain, so collecting a list of them looked feasible.

I would like to know if your job boards have or will have any feature that will allow filtering offers from "companies using your services willing to hire people in Spain with full time contracts and remote work". This would be completely awesome, as it would be fantastic to address the problem I (and many others are having).

That's a great idea. We do plan to integrate the two closely over time, so this fits into that.
Spain is a hard country to operate in, even for us. We're still working on it, and have to do all sorts of extra work to be able to offer our services in Spain.

(so not yet)

They now list Spain as Q2 2020. Q2 2020 ends in two weeks...

maybe we can close this and review in a few months?

Sure, I was going to be strict and 20 days, but it's unlikely they'll make the Q2 target.

There's currently an offer in the first page that is listed as "anywhere" but the text says UK-only. Sending them an email:

Hi,
Using the filter on your site:
https://remote.com/search?contract_type=Full%20time&location=Spain,%20Europe
I see:
https://remote.com/jobs/infrastructure-engineer-66fdf078-3f0a-49ff-b037-813388bfd554
, which is marked as India. Can you clarify how the filter works? Also, some offers seem to be incorrectly classified, such as:
https://remote.com/jobs/remote-full-stack-developer-uk-based-35-45k--03f65926-628d-4d41-868f-91df4c2c3324
Can we suggest offering a way to report incorrectly-classified offers?
We maintain a listing of companies hiring remotely with full-time Spanish contracts:
https://github.com/remote-es/remotes
and your listing looks like a great resource, but we wonder what's your "guarantee" on being able to filter adequately those.
Cheers,
Álex

Closing due to lack of feedback.
