I need to hire in the U.S. But how do I do it the right way?

Many companies hire based on practices used in Brazil and unknowingly take on employment risks. A process structured around U.S. regulations makes it clear who to hire and how.

WHAT CONNECT HELPS YOU SOLVE
01

Who to hire

Job profile and proper classification under U.S. law.

02

How to select

Sourcing and selection in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.

03

How to formalize the hire

Hiring and onboarding with the right documentation and reduced employment risk.

Hiring in the U.S. does not work the same way as in Brazil

Employment rules, worker classification, and employer obligations vary significantly from one country to another. What is common practice in Brazil can lead to penalties and legal claims in the U.S.

How it works in Brazil

Standardized CLT employment, predictable payroll charges, and one federal labor framework nationwide.

How it works in the U.S.

Each state has its own rules. Misclassifying an employee as an independent contractor or ignoring state laws can result in penalties and employment liabilities.

Companies that structure hiring according to local regulations from the start avoid costly corrections and grow with greater confidence.

The challenge

Hiring in the U.S. without local market knowledge is a costly risk

The wrong hiring process, poor cultural fit, inadequate documentation. A bad hire in the U.S. can lead to legal claims and significant financial losses.

A different labor market

Candidate expectations, market compensation, and hiring practices in the U.S. are very different from Brazil. Without this knowledge, the process starts on the wrong foot.

Employment risk during hiring

Inappropriate interview questions, undocumented selection criteria, and poorly drafted agreements can create employment-related legal risk before the employee's first day.

Time lost in a lengthy process

Without a structured selection methodology, hiring can drag on for months — while your operation remains understaffed and the business loses momentum.
