Milan Struggles to Fill Technical Jobs While Recruiting for “Modeles and Creatives”
In a surprising twist, a Milan based facility management company is desperately seeking electricians, plumbers and other technical workers, offering salaries up to €2,700 per month, yet claims it can’t find any applicants. The controversial phrase “only models and creatives in Milan” has echoed across its job ads, sparking a debate about young people’s career preferences and labour shortages.
The advertisements, placed on city trams, were launched by Saverio Cutrullà, founder of Save Group, and call for more than 30 positions across the company’s Northern Italian operations. Cutrullà says his group, active in “circular economy” oriented building maintenance, needs skilled technicians to fill roles from electricians and plumbers to project managers, with pay starting around €1,800 and going up to €2,700 for more experienced hires.
