The group has launched its third ‘You & ME’ Métiers d'Excellence tour aiming to recruit about 3,375 staff in France LVMH 2025-FR and about 1,125 in Italy (the numbers are estimates). The openings include 1,000 roles in craftsmanship, 500 in design, and 3,000 in sales and customer service across boutiques and the hospitality sector. It targets young people and professionals in search of a career change.
