The public‑sector hiring wave that accelerated in July 2026 continued through August, expanding recruitment drives across several states and functional areas.

São Paulo’s security‑force hiring intensified with the Military Police opening contests for 2,000 soldier slots, a 200‑cadet programme, and a decree authorising two additional 2,000‑soldier contests. Municipal governments also posted large edicts, including 4,500 teacher openings in São Paulo city. State‑level hiring grew in Pará, Ceará, Alagoas, and Pernambuco, alongside audit court advertisements in several states.

In early August, federal universities expanded the technical-administrative workforce. The Federal University of Bahia (UFBA) announced a contest for 116 vacancies in roles such as administration, nursing, and IT, with senior salaries reaching R$ 10,062.32. Similarly, the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) opened 114 vacancies for technical-administrative roles across multiple campuses, including Recife and Caruaru, with exams scheduled for January 2027.

Municipal recruitment also extended into Bahia, where Conceição do Almeida announced 236 vacancies across 48 different careers. These roles include agronomists, social workers, nurses, and various teaching positions, with salaries ranging from R$ 1,621.00 to R$ 3,000.00. 

The combined effort reflects a coordinated strategy to boost public‑sector employment, improve security staffing, and address education and health workforce needs across Brazil.
