The evolution of the labor market in Italy has shaped a scenario in which deep knowledge of the local environment is decisive for success in recruitment and talent selection. According to the latest data from Unioncamere’s Excelsior Information System, nearly 48% of job vacancies in the country are currently difficult to fill—a figure that rises above 60% in strategic sectors such as engineering and technology.

This reality confirms that the lack of qualified specialists has transformed hiring dynamics, requiring a much more strategic approach tailored to the reality of each province.

In the face of these challenges, Etalentum’s differentiating value lies in offering a highly efficient service through its network of offices, combining analysis of these global trends with a local, close-to-the-market advisory service that understands the characteristics of each area, supported by an active candidate search methodology.
