HireDevelopersin Brazil

Kaptas Global offers four hiring services for companies building teams with Brazilian professionals. Direct Hire places full-time employees for a one-time fee of 18% of first-year salary, with no retainer or deposit. Outsourcing & Staffing provides dedicated professionals at a flat monthly cost that covers the professional's compensation, Kaptas Global's management fee, and ongoing HR support in a single invoice. Executive Mapping delivers a research-backed report with candidate profiles, compensation benchmarks, and competitor analysis within 10 to 15 business days. Hire in Brazil is a custom engagement for companies entering the Brazilian market for the first time, covering hiring-model consulting (CLT, PJ, or EOR), market intelligence, and end-to-end recruitment.

No. For Direct Hire, there is no retainer and no deposit. You pay only after the professional is hired and starts working. For Outsourcing & Staffing, billing begins only when the professional is active on your team. Executive Mapping and Hire in Brazil are scoped as custom projects with fees agreed before work begins, but no speculative charges. Kaptas Global operates on a performance-based model across all services.

It depends on the model. Direct Hire is 18% of the professional's first-year salary, paid once. Outsourcing & Staffing is a flat monthly cost per professional (for reference, a Senior Full-Stack Engineer typically ranges from $4,000 to $6,000/month fully loaded). Companies typically save up to 60% compared to equivalent US-based hires. Kaptas Global provides role-specific cost projections before the search begins so you can plan budgets with precision, not generic estimates.

For Direct Hire and Outsourcing & Staffing, Kaptas Global delivers a shortlist of pre-vetted, headhunted candidates within 5 business days of the intake call. The full placement cycle, from kickoff to hire, typically takes 2 to 4 weeks depending on role complexity. Executive Mapping reports are delivered in 10 to 15 business days. For Hire in Brazil (market entry), the full cycle from market analysis to first placement takes 3 to 6 weeks.

Kaptas Global includes a replacement guarantee on every placement. For Direct Hire, the guarantee covers 90 to 180 days depending on role level. If the professional leaves or is terminated within that period, Kaptas Global restarts the search at no additional cost. For Outsourcing & Staffing, replacement is unlimited for the entire duration of the contract. This matters because a bad hire can cost over 200% of the role's annual salary when factoring lost productivity, severance, and restart time.

Three practical reasons. Cost: companies save up to 60% on total compensation while accessing senior-level talent. Time zone: Brazil overlaps 5 to 8 hours with US business hours (1 hour from EST, 4 from PST), enabling real-time collaboration without async delays. Talent depth: Brazil has over 1.5 million tech graduates, the largest IT community in Latin America, and growing bilingual proficiency. Kaptas Global vets every candidate for English fluency, technical skills, and cultural fit before presenting them to your team.

Kaptas Global places professionals across technology, finance, sales, marketing, operations, HR, and executive leadership. Common roles include Software Engineers (backend, frontend, full-stack, mobile), QA Engineers, Data Engineers, Product Managers, DevOps/SRE, as well as Country Managers, General Managers, Head of Sales, Marketing Managers, and HR leads. The process adapts to the role, not the other way around.

No. With Outsourcing & Staffing, Kaptas Global acts as the employer of record in Brazil. The professional works dedicated to your team, but all employment contracts, payroll, taxes, and compliance are handled by Kaptas Global. You receive one monthly invoice in USD. For Direct Hire, the professional joins your company directly (you or your EOR provider handle the employment relationship). For companies that want to establish their own entity in Brazil, the Hire in Brazil service provides guidance on the best structure.

Every candidate goes through a multi-step process: profile screening against your specific requirements, English proficiency interview, technical assessment by Kaptas Global specialists in the relevant stack, and cultural fit evaluation. Only candidates who pass all stages are presented. Kaptas Global does not source from job boards or databases. Every profile is headhunted and individually evaluated. This process supports the company's 75% repeat-client rate across 300+ placements.
