Petrobras Has Already Called 957 Approved Candidates from the Last Exam Held by the Company This Year.

According to information from the Qconcursos Folha Dirigida website, the company’s expectation is to work only with these calls in 2024.

“Petrobras expects to hire 957 new employees still this year, regarding the ongoing exam (PSP RH 2023.2)”, stated the company.

By following this schedule, Petrobras will start to use the reserve list, as of the 6,412 vacancies offered in the notice, 916 were for immediate hiring.

Therefore, by calling 957 approved candidates, 41 vacancies will be filled from the reserve list. Additionally, it is important to highlight that the updated document from Petrobras on the last day 24 includes 377 approved candidates as alternates.

The final result of the exam was released and approved in June this year. Since the approval, the exam is valid for 18 months, with the possibility of extension for the same period, at Petrobras’ discretion. During this period, the company may make new calls.

Petrobras also emphasized that, within its Human Resources and workforce management policy, it is constantly evaluating its staffing needs and the necessity for new selection processes.

Details of the Last Petrobras Exam

In 2023, the Petrobras exam attracted 161,460 registrations, showing the immense interest of Brazilian professionals in an opportunity at the state-owned company.

With vacancies distributed across various technical areas, the exam offered a total of 6,412 opportunities, with 916 for immediate hiring and 5,496 for the formation of a reserve list.

The areas of operation range from Occupational Nursing to Occupational Safety, including specializations such as Equipment Inspection, Transportation Logistics, and Petroleum Chemistry.

The tests, held on March 24, challenged candidates with 100 objective questions covering subjects like Portuguese Language, Mathematics, and Specific Knowledge.

Despite the high number of registrations, Cebraspe revealed that 34.75% of candidates missed the exams, resulting in over 56,000 eliminated.

Tradition in the Use of the Reserve List

Petrobras is known for its strategic use of the reserve list, a practice confirmed by the state-owned company’s Recruitment and Selection manager, Danilo Garbazza.

In an interview given in January this year, Garbazza emphasized that the company always evaluates its needs throughout the 36 months of the exam’s validity, calling candidates as needed.

“During the validity of the exam, there is a real possibility of using the reserve list”, stated Garbazza. “We assess the company’s needs and call according to necessity.”

Additionally, Petrobras offers new employees an onboarding period, which includes training courses in partnership with the National Service for Industrial Training (Senai).

“One of Petrobras’ hallmarks is the training course”, explained Garbazza. “The duration varies from one month to eight months, depending on the emphasis. During this period, employees receive their full salary.”

Attractive Salaries and Job Stability

With a starting salary of R$ 5,878.82, Petrobras offers one of the best remuneration packages in the market for technical-level professionals.

This factor, combined with the stability offered by one of the largest companies in Brazil, makes the exam even more attractive.

The Petrobras exam is not just a job opportunity, but a chance to build a solid and well-paid career in one of the most important industries in the country.

The expectation is that the use of the reserve list will allow the state-owned company to continue attracting and retaining talent, ensuring that its operations maintain the expected level of excellence.

The Future of Petrobras Exams

Despite the good news for the approved candidates, Petrobras made it clear that there is no forecast for a new exam in the near future.

As the company continues to analyze its internal needs, the focus remains on filling positions with candidates from the current exam.

Petrobras’ workforce management policy is constantly reviewed, meaning that calls may occur at any time, depending on the company’s needs.

This flexible approach allows Petrobras to quickly adapt to market changes and the demands of its operations.
