The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) is preparing to publish recruitment notices in the first half of 2026 for over 39,000 temporary roles aimed at supporting statistical and census activities. This significant recruitment effort will be divided into two separate notices that will be issued at different times throughout the first half of the year, with the first expected to be released as early as April. Currently, the IBGE is in the process of selecting the organization that will oversee the recruitment processes, suggesting a streamlined approach that may see the same institution managing both selections. These positions encompass a range of roles including census analysts, administrative census agents, and regional operational agents, which are essential to carry out the agency's census-related objectives effectively. The recruitment initiative reflects the IBGE's ongoing commitment to conducting robust statistical work and emphasizes the importance of having sufficient staffing to facilitate national data collection efforts. The outcomes of these recruitment processes are not only crucial for the agency but also for ensuring that Brazil's statistical needs are met in an accurate and timely manner.
