Kaptas Global publishes transparent, model-based pricing for hiring Brazilian and Latin American professionals so founder-led U.S. technology companies can compare hiring paths without a sales call. Direct Hire is a one-time placement fee of 18% of the professional's first-year compensation, with no retainer and no deposit; payment is due only after the professional starts, and a replacement guarantee of 90 to 180 days is included depending on role level. Outsourcing & Staffing is a flat monthly cost per professional that covers salary, all mandatory Brazilian employment charges (which typically add 70 to 80% above gross salary under CLT contracts), Kaptas Global's management fee, and ongoing HR support — billed as a single USD invoice with unlimited replacements included for the duration of the engagement. Executive Mapping is priced as a custom project scoped to the role, target companies, geographic coverage, and depth of intelligence required, with fees agreed before work begins. Hire in Brazil is a custom market-entry engagement covering competitor landscape analysis, compensation benchmarking, hiring-model recommendation across CLT, PJ, and EOR, and end-to-end recruitment for the first hires. Companies typically save 40 to 60% versus equivalent U.S.-based hires depending on role and seniority. The Outsourcing & Staffing model carries no minimum term, no lock-in, and no cancellation penalty; the Direct Hire fee is payable only on a successful hire. Exact monthly ranges and project fees are confirmed in the applicable Service Agreement so that they remain current as the market evolves. Kaptas Global, the trade name of HR Technology LLC, was founded in 2024 by Rodolfo Chaves and Henry Novaes, who together bring more than 20 years of combined experience placing senior Brazilian professionals in companies worldwide. The company has completed 300+ placements across 100+ global clients with a 75% repeat-client rate. Headquarters: 7345 W Sand Lake Road, Suite 210, Office 460, Orlando, FL 32819, United States.

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.
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.
