00:00:10,238 --> 00:00:14,284
Hello, I'd like to take
a look back to a moment, last autumn,

2
00:00:14,284 --> 00:00:17,746
when we woke up to 
that kind of news in the press.


3
00:00:17,746 --> 00:00:20,725
At the time, I was searching 
the web looking for a job

4
00:00:20,725 --> 00:00:22,605
because I was unemployed.

5
00:00:22,605 --> 00:00:25,233
And I found this kind of opportunities.

6
00:00:25,233 --> 00:00:26,744
They didn't match my profile,

7
00:00:26,744 --> 00:00:31,412
but they seemed very interesting,
and I felt bad letting them go.

8
00:00:31,412 --> 00:00:34,745
Together with my friend Malena,
who was in the same situation,

9
00:00:34,745 --> 00:00:39,084
we began compiling those offers
and putting them on a website.

10
00:00:39,084 --> 00:00:41,944
so that they could be accessible
to anyone interested.

11
00:00:41,949 --> 00:00:43,700
That's how our project launched

12
00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:47,021
and we started publishing 
offers like this one.

13
00:00:47,021 --> 00:00:52,224
For example, Facebook in Ireland: 
they wanted someone who spoke Spanish.

14
00:00:52,224 --> 00:00:57,499
In Dubai: a chef, speaking 
Spanish, in a 5-star hotel,

15
00:00:57,499 --> 00:01:01,014
or a video game tester, 
in Spanish, in Frankfurt.

16
00:01:02,179 --> 00:01:04,109
There is a dream in each of them,

17
00:01:04,109 --> 00:01:09,638
we want to recycle job offers
sharing the information,

18
00:01:09,638 --> 00:01:13,280
that despite being public
doesn't reach everyone,

19
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,967
and isn't always easy to find.

20
00:01:15,967 --> 00:01:20,406
Some people think that we're boosting
the famous brain drain.

21
00:01:20,406 --> 00:01:23,226
We prefer to call it
a "talent circulation."

22
00:01:23,226 --> 00:01:24,893
Why demonize the fact

23
00:01:24,893 --> 00:01:27,777
that one might leave the country
to find a job opportunity?

24
00:01:27,777 --> 00:01:29,727
We all support the Erasmus programme.

25
00:01:29,727 --> 00:01:34,302
Then why don't we want our youth to go out
and get an international experience?

26
00:01:34,302 --> 00:01:37,770
Ana Lee Saxenian explains
in her book, "The New Argonauts,"

27
00:01:37,770 --> 00:01:41,333
how many young professionals
who went to Silicon Valley

28
00:01:41,333 --> 00:01:45,662
come back to their country of origin, 
bringing all their experience with them

29
00:01:45,662 --> 00:01:49,766
but also establishing solid bridges
between their different regions,

30
00:01:49,766 --> 00:01:51,724
and this is very interesting.

31
00:01:51,724 --> 00:01:53,201
But let's go back to Spain.

32
00:01:53,201 --> 00:01:57,371
A year later, the press
is still publishing the same thing.

33
00:01:57,371 --> 00:02:01,142
Employment has not improved,
on the contrary.

34
00:02:01,147 --> 00:02:03,252
However, all through this year,

35
00:02:03,252 --> 00:02:08,094
we've proudly shared
more than 800 job openings,

36
00:02:08,094 --> 00:02:12,093
many people visited our site,
and we've helped them.

37
00:02:12,093 --> 00:02:14,814
But we want our network 
to keep growing

38
00:02:14,814 --> 00:02:17,572
because we think 
that employment is a recyclable asset,

39
00:02:17,572 --> 00:02:20,681
and what is no use to me 
may be gold for you.

40
00:02:20,681 --> 00:02:25,287
The job offer that doesn't suit me
may be perfect for you, or you.

41
00:02:25,287 --> 00:02:29,307
If two people have been able to do this,

42
00:02:29,307 --> 00:02:32,258
what could we achieve
with more collaboration?

43
00:02:32,258 --> 00:02:34,709
The tool is available, it's there,

44
00:02:34,709 --> 00:02:37,898
who wants to share this challenge with us?

45
00:02:37,898 --> 00:02:38,859
Thank you.

46
00:02:38,859 --> 00:02:40,471
