Hire in Brazil, without opening an entity.

XCAILE becomes the legal employer in Brazil, so you get compliant contracts, local payroll, benefits, and IP assignment on one invoice. First hire live in 10 to 15 business days via EOR.

10 to 15 business days via EOR Employer burden ~70 to 80% on top of gross (INSS, FGTS, others) UTC−3 (aligns US Eastern)

Why Brazil

  • Largest LatAm tech market
  • Deep GTM/CS talent
  • Fintech and AI ecosystem

Brazilian labor law (CLT) is strict and worker-friendly. Contractor misclassification is heavily penalized. Use EOR for FTE-equivalent roles; SOW works for outcome-based delivery.
