During February 10–14, the Association of Recruitment Agencies of Moldova (ARA) welcomed a business delegation from TENO3 (Italy)—a company known for delivering autonomous project execution in the metalworks sector by providing its own equipment and skilled workforce for metal fitting and welding.
This visit was not a courtesy call. It was a working week of negotiations focused on one clear goal: building a reliable recruitment pipeline of Moldovan workers for Italy, including candidates who hold only Moldovan citizenship and travel with a Moldovan biometric passport (no EU passport, no dual Moldovan–Romanian citizenship).
Who is TENO3 and Why this Meeting Matters
TENO3 operates in the heart of industrial metalworks—the environment where quality, safety, speed, and accountability decide whether projects succeed or fail. From a modest start about eight years ago, the company has grown into a recognized player in metal carpentry and welding for large-scale metal structures, providing complete operational capacity on-site: people, tools, coordination, and execution.
TENO3’s approach is especially relevant today because many Italian industrial projects don’t just need “more workers.” They need:
- experienced welders and metal fitters
- teams that can work under production pressure
- disciplined professionals who understand safety and quality standards
- predictable staffing that doesn’t collapse after the first weeks
That is precisely why the TENO3–ARA discussions are important: they signal a move toward structured, long-term staffing from Moldova for the Italian market.
What ARA and TENO3 Worked on (February 10–14)
The negotiations focused on building a repeatable recruitment system for Italy, not one-time hiring.
1) Target roles for Italian projects
The primary profiles discussed include:
- Welders (MIG/MAG and TIG depending on project needs)
- Metal fitters / metalworkers (steel fabrication)
- assembly and installation specialists for metal structures
- candidates able to read technical drawings and work to production deadlines
2) Recruitment for candidates with Moldovan biometric passports (non-EU)
A key point of the negotiations was recruitment for workers who have:
- Moldovan citizenship only
- Moldovan biometric passports
- no EU passport and no Romanian citizenship
This expands the staffing options for Italian employers and creates a wider, more stable candidate pool—when managed correctly and legally within the appropriate Italian framework.
Why Moldova is a Strong Talent Source for Welding and Metal Fabrication
For many Italian employers, Moldova has become a realistic answer to the skilled-labor shortage because it offers:
- hands-on vocational experience in welding and metalworks
- workers who adapt quickly to industrial workflows
- strong work discipline and team stability when conditions are transparent
- increasing availability of candidates motivated for medium- and long-term employment
In short: Moldova is not a “backup option.” It is a serious supply market—especially when recruitment is organized professionally.

How ARA Delivers Recruitment for Italy (end-to-end)
ARA supports international employers with a clear operational model:
- You submit a staffing request (roles, headcount, location in Italy, start date).
- ARA assigns a dedicated manager and confirms selection criteria.
- We shortlist candidates based on skills, experience, and availability.
- We organize interviews (video or on-site format as needed).
- We coordinate documentation and logistics aligned with the hiring model.
- We deliver workers according to an agreed mobilization timeline.
The objective is simple: predictable delivery of qualified people, not chaotic hiring.
