Where to look for a job in Italy in 2026: the sites that actually work
Updated: August 2026
Job hunting in Italy has changed a lot in recent years. Some long-standing boards have shut down, others are no longer indexed by search engines and return empty pages. We checked the sources one by one — here's where it's worth looking today, where not to waste your time, and how to set up your search.
Sites to avoid (or already closed)
Not every board that shows up on Google is still alive. These aren't worth your time anymore:
- InfoJobs.it — permanently closed on 31 December 2025. The listings were not migrated elsewhere.
- Monster.it — barely indexed anymore, redirects to the US site and returns very few Italian results.
- Jobrapido and similar aggregators — often unindexed, with searches that come back empty.
The boards that actually work
These sources return real, recent listings, verified in 2026:
- Bakeca.it — the most reliable generalist board, with dated listings across every category.
- Subito.it — large generalist marketplace, great for region-based searches.
- iProgrammatori.it — IT/development sector only, but with hundreds of fresh listings. Excellent for tech.
- it.jooble.org and AlmaLaurea — a broad aggregator and a portal for junior/graduate roles.
Staffing agencies: a large share of the market
In Italy many companies, especially SMEs, don't post directly — they rely on staffing agencies. Their portals are well indexed and cover a huge slice of the market:
- Randstad.it and Adecco.it — the most active, with hundreds of dated listings and good regional coverage.
- GI Group and Manpower — two more agencies with wide coverage across the country.
Tech roles and international companies
For technical and English-language roles, it's worth checking the ATS platforms used by international companies with Italian offices — Lever, Greenhouse, Workable, SmartRecruiters. They're a useful supplementary source, especially in software.
Practical search tips
- Use job titles in both Italian and English (e.g. "sviluppatore" and "developer", "ingegnere" and "engineer") — listings use one or the other.
- Add the city and province code (e.g. "Milano MI", "Roma RM") to narrow results to your area.
- For niche roles, search the company's own "careers" page directly — it often beats the generalist boards.
