Overview
- The IBGE published the edital on Thursday, Nov. 5, and applications run from 10:00 on Nov. 6 until 23:59 on Nov. 25 with a R$70 fee and a multiple‑choice exam scheduled for Jan. 31, 2027.
- Pay combines a fixed monthly parcel of R$1,741 with a production‑based variable parcel capped at R$2,629, meaning total monthly earnings can reach R$4,370, plus an R$1,192 food allowance and proportional 13th salary, vacations, preschool aid and travel support.
- Recenseadores will identify and visit agricultural establishments, interview producers, record data on mobile devices, update maps and coordinates and transmit questionnaires, with 27,279 vacancies distributed across roughly 2,600 localities including state allocations such as 1,527 in Ceará, 445 in Rio Grande do Norte and 815 in Mato Grosso.
- Contracts start as up to six months with possible successive renewals so the total term does not exceed four years; the selection is run by Fundação Cesgranrio under temporary‑hire rules and some states published local evaluation and renewal criteria tied to performance.
- Coverage flags a discrepancy in reports about the minimum education requirement, regional outlets saying elementary school while national notices say secondary school, and the IBGE has warned applicants to use official channels to avoid scams as the agency moves to begin nationwide fieldwork in 2027.
