— Verify First

Is this recruiter genuine? Brazil

Before you pay anyone, look them up in your government's own record, not on their own website or in a chat message.

Brazil

No central recruiter-licensing body

Brazil does not run a central emigration-clearance or recruiter-licensing body of the kind India, the Philippines or Bangladesh do, so there is no government list to check an overseas recruiter against.

How to check: Rely on the destination side instead: confirm the employer and the contract with the destination country's labour authority (below), and never pay for a job you cannot verify there.

Three things to do before you send any payment

  1. 01

    Is the recruiter licensed?

    Look the agency up in your government's own list, using the link above. If you cannot find it, stop.

  2. 02

    Does the offer match what you were promised?

    Role, pay, duration and who pays for what must be written down, and match what you were told.

  3. 03

    Do you know who to call?

    Save the complaint line for your destination before you fly, while you are still able to choose not to go.

Checking a recruiter does not guarantee a job. It tells you whether they are on the official record.
