The degree of internationalization in the Brazilian labor market has surpassed any previous levels. According to the "2024 Global International Recruitment Report" released by the human resources and payroll technology company Deel, foreign companies increased their recruitment of Brazilian talent by 53% in 2024, solidifying Brazil's position as one of the major global centers for technical labor.
As reported by the Brazilian magazine "EXMAE", Brazil has risen one place in the global ranking of international companies employing staff, currently standing at fifth place. This progress reflects the increasing recognition of the quality of the Brazilian workforce in the global market, particularly driven by fields such as technology and software engineering.
The United States, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom are the three main countries attracting Brazilian talent, with foreign currency salaries being one of the attracting factors. Salaries paid in US dollars to Brazilians grew by 4% last year, particularly due to the appreciation of the US dollar against the Brazilian Real, making the income of Brazilians working remotely abroad more competitive.
São Paulo has positioned itself among the top five global international recruitment centers, solidifying its status as a global talent hub.
The technology sector remains one of the most valued areas, with a 4% increase in salaries for software engineers, reflecting the continued growth in demand for professional talent specializing in developing technological solutions in the digital world.
