RECRUIT AND EMPLOY IN ONE ENGAGEMENT
One partner to find, employ and support your team in Brazil.
Find + Employ combines recruitment and local employment in one engagement. SIBRA finds the person, confirms the compensation and employment route, then employs and administers the worker in Brazil when the selected structure requires it. The buyer gets one plan from open role through active employee.
- Best fit

- What changes the answer
- Gross compensation agreed with the candidate
- Recommended next step
- Price My First Hire
Use this when
- You are making a first or early Brazil hire
- You have no local entity and no local HR function
- You want one owner from open role to active employee
- You need landed cost before you approve the hire
Do not use this when
- You already employ in Brazil and only need sourcing — use recruitment
- The engagement is a genuine independent contractor — use AOR
- You want a supplier accountable for output — use managed teams

Brazil specifics
What is different about doing this in Brazil
- Employment documentation, payroll registration and statutory processes are handled by a local operating team.
- Employees receive Portuguese-language HR support alongside your English-language management.
- Compensation is structured to Brazilian norms so offers are competitive and legally coherent.
- Transition to your own entity is planned rather than improvised.
Typical roles and functions
- First country hires
- Engineering and product
- Finance and shared services
- Commercial and partnerships
- Operations leadership

Find + Employ: questions buyers ask
Is this cheaper than doing both separately?
It is normally faster and more predictable, because one team owns the handoff between offer and employment. Pricing components are shown separately so you can see what you are paying for.
When do we need our own entity?
When sustained headcount, tax position or contracting needs justify fixed infrastructure. We model the crossover rather than pushing you to it early.
Who is the employee's legal employer?
The local employing structure coordinated by SIBRA, until you transfer the person to your own Brazilian entity.
Can we hire in multiple cities?
Yes. City choice affects salary, benefits practice and availability, and is part of the plan we present.
What if the first hire does not work out?
Replacement and exit handling are agreed in the engagement, including the local process and cost implications.
How fast can the first hire start?
Search time dominates. Employment setup runs in parallel so it does not add to the timeline.
