Issue of 2 November 2026This week's read
New People & HR postings in Brazil jumped 71% in the past 30 days, with 53 new roles added. That follows a steady climb over the last two months, and the most recent week was the busiest one yet.
There are 158 open People & HR roles right now, spread across 103 companies. The top 8 employers account for only 30% of all openings, so hiring is not concentrated in a handful of firms. Mercado Libre leads with 11 open roles, followed by Amazon, DiDi Global and HR PATH.
Most of these roles target mid-level professionals, who make up 78% of postings. Only 30% of listings state a minimum years of experience, so many ads leave this open. When a minimum is given, the median ask is 4 years.
Remote work is rare here: just 2% of roles are remote. On tools, LMS and Workday are the most requested, each named in 7% of postings, but no single skill dominates the listings.
Roles also don't stay open long. The median time a position stays live is 16 days. With postings climbing for two months straight, this is a good week to move quickly.
What this means for you
Three things you can act on this week
- Act fast, roles move quickly
The median time a role stays open is just 16 days, and postings have been climbing for two months straight. If you see a fit, apply right away rather than waiting.
- Don't skip ads without a years requirement
Only 30% of open roles state a minimum years of experience. When they do, the median ask is 4 years, so broader postings are worth a look even if you're unsure you qualify.
- Plan for on-site or hybrid work
Just 2% of People & HR roles in Brazil are listed as remote. Most of your search will involve office-based roles, so factor that into where you look and apply.
Momentum
New People roles each week
Last 30 days: 53 new roles, against 31 the 30 days before (+71%). Each week counts the same companies, and a role counts as new only in the week it was posted, so a careers site we start reading never shows up as growth.
