The Brazilian Pension Funds Authority (PREVIC) held a symbolic swearing-in ceremony for 30 newly appointed civil servants and began a six-week onboarding programme for the new cohort recruited through Brazil’s National Unified Public Examination (CPNU). The appointments form part of 40 positions opened for Administrative Analyst and Supplementary Pension Specialist roles. The onboarding programme is set to introduce PREVIC’s structure and core responsibilities, including governance, rights and duties, internal rules and organisational culture, in the context of its role supervising and inspecting pension funds covering 8.2 million participants, beneficiaries and dependants. PREVIC’s leadership also highlighted that pension funds administer around 11% of national GDP, and linked the new hires to broader efforts including recent regulatory revisions, technology investment and workforce reinforcement, noting that the last recruitment exam had been held in 2010. PREVIC indicated that the remaining 10 vacancies will be filled according to a timetable set by the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services (MGI), and referenced preparations for a further recruitment process next year.
