Fastweb is looking for young people to join the firm, to whom it is offering 25 training contracts between Milan and Rome, to start in October. The applicants that pass the recruitment phase will undertake training in the corporate departments of Technology, IT, Marketing, Administration, Finance and Control, Strategy, Internal Auditing and Human Capital.
Fastweb intends to invest increasingly in profiles capable of strengthening the most requested skills of digital transformation – the set of digitalisation processes that now enter into all of the areas of company life - with a view towards the market of future talents, not just in Italy but abroad too.
The company is mainly looking to recruit new graduates and those completing their degrees in technical faculties (degrees in engineering, IT, physics and mathematics) or management (industrial engineering, economics, media studies) with potential hiring of candidates with arts degrees.
The recruitment process starts from the submission of applications through the new "Fastweb Digital Recruiting" platform, which you can access through the "Work with us" section of the Fastweb corporate site, and which, as of Thursday, 7th September, will be launched with all-new graphics. After entering your personal information, the recruitment process involves a Web Assessment, in other words a set of tests to be done directly online, for a dual purpose: not only to test knowledge and assess the applicant but also to provide guidance, as each applicant will receive feedback in real time at the end of each test done. You have until 22th September to submit your application.
Successful applicants will the receive an invitation to take part in the Fastweb Young Graduate Day, the last step in the recruitment process, which will be held in Milan on Friday 13 October. During the event, participants will be in touch with the company and will perform the final interviews with the managers of the various departments involved.
In a setting of exponential growth in innovation, Fastweb has therefore defined – as part of a strategy that focuses on the digitalisation of the entire company and its processes - a plan for investing in young talent, with not just a short-term aim, but also, and above all, a medium-long-term aim, concentrating on the need to focus strongly on the development of digital skills.
Just last December, the European Commission launched a warning on the subject of human capital in the era of digital society: from now until 2020 in Europe there will be a shortage of up to 750,000 professionals with sufficient digital skills in information and communication technology. More than a third of the workforce and, more generally, around 45% of European citizens have only basic digital skills. This misalignment leads to an unemployment rate amount young people aged between 15 and 24 years of age of around 20% in the EU.
The opportunities and training are not only for young people. Fastweb is also currently looking for certain experienced candidates to join the Milan office. Specifically: an IS Security Specialist, an ICT Sales Solution Engineer, a Pre-sales Professional and a Solution Delivery PM Professional to join the Enterprise division; and a Shop Assistant for the Consumer division.
All interested candidates can register on the "Fastweb Digital Recruiting" platform, send their applications and try the Web Assessment, which varies depending on the level of experience and seniority of the applicant, by clicking on the link https://career2.successfactors.eu/career?company=fastwebspa, or the "Work with us" section of the new Fastweb corporate site.
