Empleomanía

Law: Contract(s)
Letter of Intent (Cuba)
One glossary states that this is "employing habit" but I'm not sure this really fits in this context. Is it simply referring to the workforce?
"Presente en más de 20 países y con una **empleomanía** de más de 1.600 personas calificadas".
"Presente en más de 20 países y con una **empleomanía** de más de 1.600 personas calificadas".

employee work force
I think this is it, in this context.
Example sentence:
and with an employee work force of more than 1,600 qualified persons
