Hub Group Highlights Trend in Various Industries
A recent drop in the unemployment rate in Brazil, which reached 7.6% in the quarter ending in October, signals a warming in the job market. This is the lowest rate since February 2015, according to IBGE data. Experts from Hub Group, a renowned HR consultancy, project a promising 2024, especially for management and executive positions. With nearly a decade in the market and clients such as Ambev, Google, Natura, Itaú, Stellantis, and Vale, Hub Group analyzes the economic landscape and hiring trends for the upcoming year.
Despite forecasts of a more modest GDP in 2024, the scenario does not seem unfavorable for the job market. Fernando Guedes, senior partner at Hub Group, along with Victor Fazzio and Frederico Torres, notes that the focus will not be on mass hiring, but on the search for the best leaders. This scenario favors management and executive positions, especially in specific sectors.
