Last few hours to apply for the ASMEL 2026 Maxi Notice , the national selection process that opens the door to new job opportunities in Italian municipalities and local authorities. The application deadline is 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 15th.

There are just a few hours left until applications close for a process aimed at creating and updating 39 lists of suitable candidates, from which participating institutions can draw for future fixed-term and permanent hires.

The deadline is indicated in the notice published on the national recruitment portal InPA, where you can consult the official announcement.

Municipality Work: Who Can Participate?

The selection process represents an opportunity for those wishing to enter the public administration, even without previous work experience in local government.

The Maxi Notice includes 39 lists of suitable candidates , divided into different professional profiles and classification levels.

The opportunities concern three main areas:

• Experienced operators: profiles for which specific educational and professional requirements are required.
• Instructors: positions for which a diploma is generally required.
• Officials: profiles that require possession of the university qualifications indicated in the announcement.

Requirements vary depending on the chosen professional profile. You can apply for multiple profiles, as long as you meet the requirements for each.

How the ASMEL 2026 selection process works

The system of eligible lists allows participating local authorities to identify candidates who have already passed an initial selection process.

Those who pass the test are added to the list corresponding to their professional profile and can access subsequent hiring procedures activated by the institutions.

It's important to note that inclusion in the lists doesn't mean automatic hiring . Instead, it represents a preliminary step to participating in the calls for tenders and selections that municipalities can initiate based on their personnel needs.

The procedure concerns opportunities distributed throughout the country and is not limited to a single region.

Online written test: 60 questions in one hour

The test consists of 60 multiple choice questions, to be completed in 60 minutes , divided as follows:
