Government Authorizes Hiring for IBGE with 9,580 Temporary Vacancies. Ordinance Published in the Official Gazette Provides for Roles Throughout Brazil for Statistical Research
The federal government authorized the hiring for IBGE of up to 9,580 temporary professionals to reinforce data collection and supervision activities for statistical research across the country. The measure was officially announced this Tuesday (12) by the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services (MGI) and the Ministry of Planning and Budget (MPO), through an ordinance published in the Official Gazette of the Union.
Of the total opportunities, 8,480 vacancies will be for research and mapping agents, responsible for data collection, and 1,100 for collection and quality supervisors, who oversee and validate fieldwork. The selection process will be done through a simplified selection process, with a notice expected to be published within six months.
Where the Vacancies Will Be Offered and Who Can Participate
The hiring will take place in all regions of Brazil, addressing local demands for research and statistical surveys. According to the MGI, the initiative meets a need of exceptional public interest, reinforcing IBGE’s operational capacity at a time of intense data production.

Details of the Authorized Vacancies
According to the ordinance, the maximum distribution of vacancies will be as follows:
| Role | Activity | Number of Vacancies |
|---|---|---|
| Research and Mapping Agent | Data Collection | 8,480 |
| Collection and Quality Supervisor | Supervision | 1,100 |
The research and mapping agents will work directly by visiting households and businesses, applying questionnaires and collecting statistical information. The supervisors will be responsible for ensuring the quality and accuracy of the obtained data, supervising teams and correcting possible inconsistencies.
Importance and Context of the Hiring
IBGE plays a central role in producing data that supports public policies, private investments, and strategic decisions in the country. The temporary hiring allows the agency to adapt to specific demands, such as new surveys or updating existing research.
This increase in staff is also related to the complexity and volume of information collected by the institute. In previous processes, such as in the Census, the need for extra labor was crucial to meet deadlines and maintain statistical quality.
And you? Do you think this temporary hiring is sufficient to meet the data demand in Brazil or does IBGE need to expand its permanent staff? Leave your opinion in the comments and join the debate.
