Egalite

What Egalite does

Egalite is a Brazilian HR Tech company specializing in employment inclusion for people with disabilities (PcD). Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, the company operates a two-sided web-based platform that connects candidates with disabilities to corporate employers seeking to fulfill Brazil's disability quota requirements (Lei de Cotas / Lei 8.213/91). The platform is free for job seekers, who register profiles capturing personal, professional, and disability data (including optional medical reports), while companies pay for recruitment, selection, and inclusion consulting services. The company has accumulated over 3,472 active job postings and serves named enterprise clients across financial services (Citi, EY Brasil), food service (McDonald's), e-commerce (Mercado Livre), mining (Vale), infrastructure (CCR), retail (Dia), agriculture/manufacturing (John Deere, Yara), and energy (Ultragaz).

The core product is a web-based job portal with filters for location, education level, and industry sector, supported by a candidate registration module and a company onboarding portal. The platform runs on MongoDB infrastructure backed by multiple cloud providers (AWS, Digital Ocean, Google Cloud) with Backblaze for backup storage. The website footer explicitly states the platform is 'Powered by Konecty.com,' indicating Konecty — a third-party CRM — serves as the operational backbone for candidate and company relationship management, which represents both an efficiency advantage and a meaningful operational dependency. Egalite offers three service lines: a job portal (core), accessibility consulting, and inclusive culture transformation, positioning itself as a full-stack inclusion partner rather than a transactional job board.

Egalite's business model is professional services revenue from corporate clients, with quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market combines community-led growth (free candidate self-registration building a talent database) with enterprise field sales targeting large Brazilian corporates. The company has disclosed approximately $305,656 in cumulative external funding across six small rounds between 2014 and 2021, including a $122,768 round led by SITAWI Finance for Good in 2017 and engagement with BrazilLAB accelerator in 2019, indicating a primarily bootstrapped capital structure consistent with operational self-sufficiency.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Catho: One of Brazil's largest generalist job boards and recruitment platforms. While it serves mass-market hiring rather than specializing in disability inclusion, it competes for the same employer recruitment budgets and is the natural incumbent alternative for companies with simple hiring needs.
• InfoJobs: Major Brazilian online job platform operating across all industries and candidate profiles. Comparable as a generalist destination where employers (including those fulfilling Lei de Cotas) can post roles, representing an alternative channel that Egalite must differentiate against.
• Indeed: Global job search engine with strong presence in Brazil. Competes for the same employer-side posting and recruitment spend; its scale and brand recognition make it the dominant generalist alternative to specialized platforms like Egalite.
• LinkedIn: Global professional network increasingly used by Brazilian employers for both active hiring and DEI initiatives. Its scale, candidate pool, and employer branding tools make it a credible competitor for the talent sourcing component of Egalite's offering.
• ManpowerGroup Brasil: Global staffing and workforce solutions provider with a Brazilian operation offering recruitment, assessment, and inclusion programs. Overlaps with Egalite at the intersection of mainstream staffing and disability inclusion work, and serves many of the same enterprise customers.

Emerging players

• Lime Connect: U.S./Canada-based nonprofit organization that connects university students and professionals with disabilities to employment opportunities with leading employers. Comparable as a disability-focused employment intermediary, though operating in a different geography and a narrower candidate pool (students/professionals).
• Bender Consulting Services: Pennsylvania-based employment placement firm exclusively serving people with disabilities, focused on candidates with hidden disabilities. Comparable business model — specialized disability employment placement with employer-side services — but operates in the U.S. market, not Brazil.
• Soulan: Brazilian consultancy that connects companies to professionals with disabilities and offers inclusion and accessibility advisory services. Directly comparable as a Brazilian, disability-focused employer services provider serving the same Lei de Cotas-driven demand.
