Hiring in Brazil FAQs
Which job boards do recruiters use in Brazil?
Catho (Long-standing Brazilian board.); InfoJobs (Brazilian arm of the Adevinta network.); Vagas.com (Portuguese-language board.); LinkedIn (Multinational and senior roles.). Paste the ATS string into the keyword box of any board that runs on standard Boolean; platform-specific dialects — Indeed's title filter, Bing X-Ray and public-CV X-Ray — are generated from your live JD in the workspace.
How do I write a Boolean search string for a Operations Manager in São Paulo?
Start from the ATS string above: alternate titles in one parenthesized OR group, core skills in a second, credentials in a third, and the location group last. It happens to be São Paulo here, so the same position works for any other city — swap the location term rather than rewriting the string. Keep operators uppercase, quote every multi-word phrase, and never nest more than two levels deep.
Do I need to search in Portuguese?
Hiring in Brazil mostly runs in Portuguese, so an English-only title list returns a fraction of the market. Use the strings above for the English-language and multinational roles they are built for, and run a separate search on Portuguese job titles — the boards listed above are where those titles live. Do not translate and OR both languages into one group: that widens the result set instead of narrowing it.
