Strongest sectors for Brazilian hires
What to know about hiring from Brazil
Trades and construction experience
Brazil is a strong source of construction trades and skilled operatives. Trade-test evidence and reference checks are recorded per candidate so skills are verified before shortlist.
English levels vary
English proficiency varies more than in some corridors, so we screen for the level each route and role requires rather than assuming it — important for UK language requirements.
Relocation readiness
Many Brazilian candidates are experienced with international moves. Relocation logistics still sit with Recruitroo so the employer's team isn't managing arrivals.
Typical visa & permit routes
- General Employment Permit — Ireland
- UK Skilled Worker visa (eligible roles)
