First hires in a new market

A Chinese oil company needed to build their entire Brazil operation from scratch. No local knowledge, no network, no compensation benchmarks. We mapped the market, defined the hiring structure, and placed five key roles including General Manager, Marketing Manager, and HR. Every hire came with the local network needed to generate new business from day one.

Case 03 // Validation

Strategic expansion

A CTO hired a single QA engineer to test the model. Within 6 months, the team grew to 4 QA engineers and 1 full-stack engineer. All still active.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our pricing and models.

No. Kaptas Global does not charge upfront fees for Direct Hire or Outsourcing & Staffing. Payment happens only after a successful placement or as part of the agreed monthly invoice. Over 300 placements have been delivered this way. Executive Mapping and Hire in Brazil are custom projects with pricing defined before work begins.
Kaptas Global charges 18% of the hired professional's first-year annual salary as a one-time placement fee. Payment is due after the candidate accepts the offer and starts. There is no retainer, no deposit, and no cost if the search does not result in a hire.
The flat monthly cost covers the professional's compensation, Kaptas Global's management fee, and ongoing HR support. You receive one USD invoice with no separate charges for payroll, taxes, benefits, or compliance, and unlimited replacements are included. For example, a Senior Full-stack Engineer in Brazil ranges from $4k to $6k per month, all-in.
US-based recruitment agencies typically charge 20-30% of first-year salary for contingency placements and 25-35% for retained searches. Kaptas Global charges 18% with no retainer, a 90 to 180-day replacement guarantee, and access to Brazil's talent market where salary benchmarks are up to 60% lower than US equivalents. The total cost to hire in Brazil through Kaptas is a fraction of a comparable US search.
For Direct Hire, if the professional leaves or does not meet expectations within 90 to 180 days (defined in your agreement), Kaptas Global restarts the search and places a replacement at no additional cost. For Outsourcing & Staffing, replacements are unlimited and included as part of the ongoing service. This applies to all placements regardless of role or seniority.
Yes. Kaptas Global helps transition contractor relationships into permanent roles when needed. This includes adjusting the hiring model, compensation structure, and compliance requirements. Over 30% of long-term Outsourcing clients have converted at least one professional to a Direct Hire arrangement.
Kaptas Global determines the monthly cost based on role type, seniority, and required skill set. When a candidate profile is presented, the all-in cost is included alongside qualifications and experience. Current ranges for common roles: QA Engineer $3k-$5k/month, Senior Full-stack Engineer $4k-$6k/month, Data Engineer $4.5k-$7k/month.
Kaptas Global supports flexible team sizing. For Outsourcing & Staffing, professionals can be added or removed as needs change with no long-term contracts or penalties. For Direct Hire, each placement is an independent engagement with no volume commitments. Many clients start with one hire and scale to 5-10 professionals within the first year.
Kaptas Global scopes both as custom projects. Executive Mapping pricing depends on role seniority, number of competitors to analyze, geographic coverage, and depth of intelligence, with reports typically delivered in 10-15 business days. Hire in Brazil is scoped to the number of roles, market analysis complexity, and hiring-model consulting involved. Both include a detailed proposal with clear deliverables before any work starts.
No. Kaptas Global works with companies hiring a single professional or building a full team. There is no minimum volume, no long-term contract, and no commitment beyond the specific engagement. Over 75% of clients return to hire again after their first placement.

Kaptas Global is a recruitment agency and strategic hiring partner for Brazil and Latin America, US-incorporated (HR Technology LLC, Miami). The pricing on this page is for founder-led U.S. technology companies with up to 100 employees that want to hire senior remote talent in Brazil without a local entity.

Direct Hire is a one-time placement fee of 18% of first-year compensation, paid only after a successful hire, with a 90 to 180 day replacement guarantee. Outsourcing & Staffing is a flat monthly cost per professional covering the professional's compensation, Kaptas Global's management fee, and ongoing HR support, billed as one USD invoice with unlimited replacements.
