The New Job Openings at Mercado Livre Will Be for the Next Four Months to Meet Strong Sales Demand

In an interview with InfoMoney, Mercado Livre’s Senior Vice President (SVP) in Brazil, Fernando Yunes, said that the e-commerce company will hire 8,500 people in the next four months to meet strong demand. The explosion of online sales generated by the coronavirus pandemic has not decreased in 2021, despite the economy reopening with vaccination.

Fernando Yunes mentioned in the InfoMoney live stream that e-commerce still has a 10.5%-11% penetration in total retail in Brazil. It’s still low. “We went from 5% at the beginning of the pandemic to a rapid jump to 11%, as if all people and companies were forced to buy/sell online. It’s like we took the year 2030 and pulled it to 2020,” said the executive.

“The number of users, both on the customer side and the seller side, has increased dramatically, leading to e-commerce penetration in Brazil rising from 5% to 10%. This year it stands at 11%. The global average is 18%. The United States is at 25%. China is at 40%. The number of companies that have yet to enter the marketplace is still large. (…) And there are still many internet users who are not e-commerce buyers. We remain optimistic. By the end of this year alone, we will hire 6,000 own employees and 2,500 third-party workers. That’s 8,500 new jobs in four months. It shows our commitment and confidence in what lies ahead,” he concluded.

New Sellers on the Mercado Livre Platform

Yunes highlighted that the entry of new sellers on the Mercado Livre platform was strong in the second quarter and continues at that pace, both for small companies and large brands. Additionally, the executive mentioned that the group is always looking to cater to new segments, such as the newly launched supermarket operation.

The executive cited the investments that have been made by Mercado Livre in the country. “We started the year with three distribution centers and will end with eight or more, and we may even announce something more by the end of the year,” he said. Yunes emphasized some competitive advantages of ML over the competition, such as same-day delivery service for many ZIP codes.
