What EDC Group does

EDC Group is a privately held Brazilian HR consulting firm founded in 2010 by Daniel M. Campos Neto, headquartered in São Paulo and operating across six offices (five in Brazil plus Troy, Michigan, USA). The company provides workforce outsourcing, temporary staffing (CLT contracts of 1–270 days), strategic BPO, executive search (Hunting), and special project staffing, covering the entire employment lifecycle from recruitment through termination. Its core technology footprint is minimal: the business is people-driven, with operations supported by automated recruitment processes rather than a proprietary software platform; integrations are limited to WhatsApp Business and Google Calendar for sales contact workflows. The company operates under two legal entities—EDC Consultoria em Engenharia e Recursos Humanos S.A. and EDC Serviços Temporários e Gestão de Recursos Humanos S.A.—and holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and LGPD/GDPR-aligned certifications.

EDC generates revenue primarily through managed-services contracts (outsourcing, temporary staffing, and SLA-bound BPO) and professional-services engagements (executive search and special projects). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagements are scoped via diagnostic meetings and billed monthly, with invoicing issued at month-end and 30-day payment terms—effectively a 60-day cash flow advantage for clients. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and direct, with website-based contact (WhatsApp, calendar scheduling, contact form), field sales across Brazilian regions, and a presence in Troy, MI for international clients. Target customers are mid-sized to large enterprises in at least nine verticals including manufacturing, retail, technology, healthcare, financial services, pharmaceutical, construction, agribusiness, and food/beverage. Named enterprise customers include a major truck manufacturer, a global filtration company, and a food industry client for whom EDC mobilized 60+ operators in 15 days.

The company is founder-led with no disclosed institutional capital, external investors, or M&A history. It has built reputational assets over 16 years—including a top Glassdoor rating among Brazilian HR consulting firms, dual ISO certification, and a visible ESG/social-investment program (R$3.5M+ committed to GRAAC, partnerships with Instituto Olga Kos and others). Distribution is concentrated in direct sales rather than channel partnerships, and there is no evidence of a platform, marketplace, or technology-product roadmap that would shift the business model away from labor-based services delivery.

Revenue model

1. Outsourcing (Terceirização): Full outsourcing of workforce management where EDC Group handles recruitment, CLT employment contracts, payroll, benefits, legal compliance, and ongoing management of outsourced employees. Clients delegate operational workforce management to focus on core business.
2. Temporary Staffing (Temporários): Provision of temporary workers under CLT contracts for seasonal demands, substitutions, or defined-term projects lasting 1-270 days. EDC manages recruitment, payroll, and legal obligations for temporary staff.
3. Strategic BPO: Business Process Outsourcing where EDC assumes full responsibility for activity execution and Service Level Agreement (SLA) compliance, not just workforce provision. More comprehensive than standard outsourcing.
4. Hunting (Executive Search): Active talent search for strategic positions, identifying and recruiting top market professionals with a significant differential: rapid turnaround time.
5. Special Projects: Custom project-based workforce solutions for complex or specialized operational needs.

Core offering

EDC Group is a Brazilian HR consulting firm that provides outsourced workforce management, temporary staffing under CLT contracts, strategic business process outsourcing, executive search, and special project staffing. The company assumes employer-of-record responsibilities including recruitment, payroll, benefits, tax/legal compliance, and day-to-day management of deployed personnel for mid-sized and large enterprise clients across Brazil and internationally.

Product overview

EDC Group is a consulting firm specializing in human resources solutions, offering five core service lines: Outsourcing (full workforce management), Temporários (temporary staffing), BPO Estratégico (strategic business process outsourcing), Hunting (executive search), and Projetos Especiais (specialized project staffing). The company positions itself as a full-service HR partner covering the entire employment lifecycle from recruitment through termination, with a focus on legal compliance and operational efficiency. The five services operate as distinct but complementary offerings rather than a unified software platform.
