Catenon reached a turnover of 8.4 million euros in the first half of 2026, representing a 19% growth compared to the same period of the previous year, as communicated by the Spanish multinational specialized in global talent search.
The company completed the first six months of the year "consolidating its profitable growth and reinforcing its commitment to technological innovation".
Between January and June 2026, contracted sales advanced by 15%, to 9.7 million euros, while gross operating profit (Ebitda) increased by 41%, exceeding 2 million euros. With this, the firm underlines the strength of its business model "even in a period marked by a significant increase in technological investment".
Gross margin also registered a favorable evolution, with an increase of 18%, and operating margin rose by 34%, demonstrating Catenon's ability to reconcile growth, profitability, and investment in innovation.
"These results reflect the solidity of our business model and the effectiveness of a strategy that combines profitable growth, specialization, and technological innovation. We continue to invest in developing solutions that allow our clients to access the best talent in an increasingly global, competitive market supported by artificial intelligence (AI)," said Catenon's global CEO, Miguel Ángel Navarro Barquín.
MORE INVESTMENT
Among the milestones of the semester, the 110% increase in technological investment stands out, aimed at developing a new data-driven and AI-powered platform, based on advanced machine learning models, predictive analytics, and AI agents.
In this context, said investment facilitates the creation of new business models supported by the group's technological assets.
In parallel, Catenon has indicated that it continues to reinforce its strategic project "Liderar España" (Lead Spain), strengthening its structure to accompany the growth of activity and advance in new openings in the national market.
This dynamic is also supported by greater sectoral specialization that continues to drive the results of the different business verticals, while the company maintains its international strategy based on profitability, cash generation, and sustainable growth.

The subsidiary TalentHackers continues to develop innovative solutions aimed at meeting the growing demand for technological and digital profiles.
In line with this roadmap, the company has launched ByTask, a new platform currently in the testing phase, which connects "agent" markets with analog professional solutions.
"The evolution of the labor market demands new ways to identify, attract, and connect talent. Our goal is to continue leading this transformation through solutions that combine technology, artificial intelligence, and specialized knowledge to offer greater value to companies and professionals," added Navarro Barquín.
At the close of the first half of 2026, Catenon had a liquidity position of 2.2 million euros and a working capital of 2.7 million euros, which gives it a solid financial base to continue deploying its strategy of growth, innovation, and expansion during the second half of the year.
