Until 12:00 on Thursday 15 October it will therefore be possible to submit the application on the AsmeLab platform. The maxi notice, published on the Inpa portal, concerns 39 professional profiles for various tasks and qualifications. The selection ends with inclusion in a list, valid for three years, from which it will be possible to participate in the questions published by participating bodies, such as municipalities, provinces and metropolitan cities.
The announcement includes a remote test consisting of 60 questions and allows you to participate even for multiple profiles, if the relevant requirements are met. In the 30 minutes available, the candidate will be asked to answer 30 questions on specific profile subjects and 25 on common topics, from public law to the functioning of local authorities. The remaining 5 questions are dedicated to assessing the English language and IT skills. To qualify, you are required to achieve a minimum correct answer score of 42 points out of 60.
Among the most significant innovations of the 2026 edition is the identification of two new specialist profiles: Official expert in public contracts and Official expert in European, national and regional financing. In the first case, a degree in Law is required, while for the role of expert in EU financing various qualifications are admitted, including three-year and old system degrees.
The two new profiles add to the most sought after professionalisms divided between graduates, diploma holders and specialized workers. Each qualification corresponds to an area of employment that can be selected by local authorities: ranging from highly qualified officials (formerly category D) to instructors (formerly category C), up to expert workers (formerly category B).
In the next three years, municipalities, provinces and metropolitan cities could announce requests for the hiring of administrative and accounting officials, reporting experts, technicians, IT experts, tourism and communication instructors. The list of potential employable figures then includes notifiers, educators, engineers, lawyers, psychologists, social workers and agronomists. But also surveyors, gardeners, bricklayers, plumbers, electricians, drivers and traffic assistants.
Depending on the profile chosen, the subjects of the quiz are destined to vary greatly. While, for example, a candidate for the role of administrative officer could find questions on administrative law, local authorities, public employment and accounting, the test for the IT specialist profile will focus on questions relating to programming, networks, digital transition and artificial intelligence.
On the AsmeLab platform, sending the application is subject to the payment of a fee of 15 euros, via PagoPA, required for each profile for which you wish to apply. The submission of the application can be considered completed only with the receipt of a certified e-mail confirming the correct completion of the application. For this purpose, a certified e-mail address is required, different from the common one.
The high number of applications, which increased by 86% compared to previous editions, favored the extension of the time window by a few days. The appeal of the selection is reflected in the variety of profiles requested, from young graduates to qualified professionals with a degree and registration in the register. In 2025, Asmel registered over 136 thousand applications for 37 open profiles.
There are already thousands of institutions that use the aggregate procedure of suitable lists. Through adhesion to the aggregate Agreement pursuant to art. 15 of law 241/1990, Municipalities can activate consultations based on their needs, reducing times and obligations compared to the organization of an autonomous insolvency procedure. For entities that have not yet joined, this is the useful window to enter into aggregate management and make the tool immediately available for future recruitment needs. Over the years, through Asmel's maxi notices, a total of over 500 thousand applications have been collected, with more than 50 thousand suitable and over 1,800 hires already completed in local authorities.
