How It Works

A proven process from first conversation to long-term partnership.

Every CapacityPod engagement follows the same structured approach — from the first diagnostic conversation to the steady-state partnership that follows a successful placement.

1
Discovery
A diagnostic conversation. We understand your business priorities before proposing a solution.
2
Alignment
A structured session with the role leader. We define success criteria and build the hiring brief.
3
Recruitment
Active sourcing starts right away. Shortlist of three candidates in three to six weeks.
4
Integration
Weekly check-ins for the first 30 days. 90-day formal review. Rapid response to any issue.
5
Steady State
Monthly check-ins. Quarterly reviews. Annual compensation review. We do not disappear after placement.
Before We Recruit

The step that makes every search more precise.

Before we recruit a single person, we run a structured Strategic Alignment Session with you and the leader of the role. This covers everything that matters to find the right candidate: what great performance looks like at 30, 90, and 180 days; how your team communicates and makes decisions; the tools and workflows the new hire will need from day one; and how compensation should be structured under Brazilian CLT.

This session is documented and becomes the hiring brief and the foundation to represent your business and the position credibly to candidates from the first conversation.

We review 20 to 30 candidates per role. Three make your shortlist.

Every one of them has cleared five stages before you see their name.

1
Profile Review
Career arc, international exposure, academic background, and role relevance assessed against the hiring brief.
2
PI Assessment
Cognitive aptitude and behavioral profile measured against the established objective job target.
3
English Proficiency
Spoken and written English assessed to B2/C1 standard. Technical ability does not override language. We also assess on-camera presence.
4
Structured Interview
In person at our Campinas office.
5
Client Interview(s)
We present only candidates we would hire ourselves.
The In-Office Advantage

Your team member works from our Campinas office every day.

Accountability

Team members begin and end each day in a professional environment. There is no blurred line between work and home, which translates to more consistent focus and output.

Institutional Knowledge

When team members sit together, they share knowledge informally, support each other, and develop a shared understanding of client contexts — reducing the fragility of single-person dependencies.

Culture Cohesion

Remote work can be isolating, and isolation is the fastest path to disengagement. Our in-office environment provides colleagues who are familiar with the work, a culture to be genuinely part of, and reasons to stay.

Career Booster

In-office work teaches skills that remote work simply cannot. We learn by proximity — watching how experienced colleagues handle difficult situations, picking up on productive habits, and navigating real team dynamics.

The Employment Model

You direct the work. We handle everything behind the invoice.

Your team member works for you every day — taking direction from you, participating in your meetings, delivering to your standards. Legally, they are employed by CapacityPod under Brazilian CLT.

What that means in practice: you direct the work. We handle payroll, mandatory benefits, FGTS, social contributions, and every compliance obligation behind the invoice. One fixed monthly fee. No Brazilian labor exposure for you, no surprising complexity to navigate.

This is not a contractor model. There is no misclassification risk. Your team member is a fully employed professional with all statutory rights and benefits — which is also why they stay.
After Placement

The first 90 days are the highest-risk period in any placement. We actively manage them.

In the first month, we check in with both you and the team member every week — surfacing any friction early and adjusting course before small issues become real problems. Through month three, check-ins move to bi-weekly. At the 90-day mark, we run a formal review to assess performance, alignment, and any gaps.

1
Month 1: Weekly check-ins
Both sides checked in weekly — surfacing friction early.
2
Month 1–3: Bi-weekly check-ins
Moving to bi-weekly cadence through the first quarter.
3
Month 3+: Formal 90-day review
Then monthly steady-state with quarterly and annual strategic reviews.

You have seen how we work.

If it resonates, the next step is a short diagnostic conversation — no pitch, no obligation.
