What customers say

  • “Excellent service. Whenever I had doubts or questions, they responded very quickly, within a day or two max. The redelivery service is as quick and convenient as it possibly can be, made my life as a student very easy.”

What a smover does

You walk into people's homes when there are boxes everywhere and they're tired. Knowing how to load a van matters, and so does how you behave.

  • Pickups and redeliveries

    You go to the customer's home in the agreed time slot, load the parcels and bring them to the warehouse. Then the reverse trip when they want them back.

  • You scan every parcel

    Each box carries a unique code scanned at every step. It's how we always know where the customer's things are, so it has to be done every time.

  • You are the face of Smoves

    In most cases you're the only person from Smoves the customer actually meets. Punctuality and manners count as much as your back does.

  • You open a new city

    In the cities we're opening, the first smover doesn't just execute: they help us work out how that market behaves. It's a different role and we treat it as one.

What it takes

  • A category B license and confidence driving in a city
  • Able to lift and carry (a full box reaches 20 kg)
  • A VAT number (partita IVA): for now we only work with contractors who have one
  • Punctuality and care in handling other people's things
  • A smartphone and ease with a web page that scans QR codes
  • Fluent Italian; English is a real advantage with international customers

Today we operate in Milan and Florence. We're opening Rome, Turin and Bologna: you can apply there too, but there isn't a shift waiting for you tomorrow. We'll get back to you when we open.

Apply

A short form, age and availability included. If your profile fits we'll write to arrange a call.

The job: doorstep pickups and redeliveries, loading and unloading parcels, scanning the QR code at every step. Everything else is above.

Free schedule: you decide which days and hours you work, not us.

You must be at least 18.

When you're most available (optional)

For now we only work with contractors who have a VAT number (partita IVA). You can still apply, but without one we can't offer you a shift yet.

By sending this application you agree to your data being processed for recruitment. See the Privacy Policy.

Not after a job, but a partnership?

If your trade puts you in front of homes that need emptying — real estate agencies, cleaning companies, short-term rentals — the partner agreement gives you dedicated terms on our services, and a dedicated discount for the clients you send us.

Frequently asked questions about working with us

What kind of contract and pay?

We only work with contractors who have a VAT number (partita IVA). Pay and details are agreed at the interview, depending on the role and the city. There are no points or leaderboards: they're agreed shifts, with people we know.

Do I need my own van?

No, it isn't an entry requirement. The form asks whether you have your own vehicle and whether you have a van available because in some situations it changes the kind of shift we can offer you, not because an application without one gets discarded.

Can I apply for a city where you're not operating yet?

Yes, and it helps us: applications are one of the signals we use to decide where to open first. Cities we haven't opened are marked “coming soon” in the menu, so it's clear there isn't a shift waiting for you tomorrow. We'll come back to you when we open.

How much work is there?

The volume isn't constant: moves cluster into certain periods of the year, and in university cities the summer outweighs everything else. We ask about your availability precisely to see whether your situation copes with that seasonality or whether another kind of job suits you better.

I'm a student — can I apply?

Yes, and over the summer it often works well. Pick “part time” or “peak periods only” under availability.

What happens after I apply?

We read it and, if the profile fits, we write to the email you gave us to arrange an introductory call. If you don't hear from us within a few weeks it means we're not recruiting in that city right now — your application stays on file.
