What ManpowerGroup Italia does

ManpowerGroup Italia is the Italian subsidiary of ManpowerGroup Global Inc. (NYSE: MAN), operating as a multi-brand workforce solutions provider headquartered in Milan. The business is structured through five co-controlled Italian S.r.l. entities (Manpower S.r.l., Experis S.r.l., Talent Solutions S.r.l., Manpower TBO S.r.l., and ManpowerGroup Service S.r.l.) that collectively serve enterprise and mid-market clients across Italy under four service brands: Manpower (staffing, temporary and permanent placement), Experis (IT and technology consulting with specialization in cloud, cybersecurity, and digital workspace), Talent Solutions (human capital transformation services), and Jefferson Wells (executive and senior management search).

The company generates revenue primarily through transaction-based fees on temporary staffing (mark-up on worker wages), permanent placement fees, and professional services for IT consulting, talent transformation, and training/upskilling programs via Experis Academy. The GTM motion is enterprise field sales-led, with dedicated account managers for large clients, complemented by a physical branch network across Italian regions and an event-driven marketing strategy anchored by the annual The Exchange conference and regional Road to The Exchange events. Technology infrastructure includes AI-powered candidate evaluation, CV/resume analysis, and matching systems, supported by a responsible AI framework with bias auditing and GDPR-compliant data handling. The company is also a thought leader through LINC Magazine (founded 2008, Italy's first work culture magazine), MEOS quarterly employment surveys, and partnerships with VivaTech (10-year Platinum partner), World Economic Forum, and Junior Achievement Italia.
