Startup creates platform for those who lost their jobs in the pandemic


THE new coronavirus pandemic it has had consequences for the health and pockets of people all over the world.

With social distancing and emergency measures adopted to contain the spread of Covid-19, many businesses had to close their doors and, consequently, reduce their workforce.

According to the Brazilian Institute of Economics of the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (Ibre/FGV), the economic crisis caused by the new coronavirus it should leave 12.6 million unemployed in Brazil alone.

In numbers, the rate of people without a formal job in the country, which was already high, will more than double – from 11.6% to 23.8% of the population.

Thinking about it and seeking to help workers who were left without a job due to pandemic, the recruitment company Connekt created Reconnektados on its platform.
