How to search for a job
On the portal, you can filter by keyword (for example “farm worker” or “tractor”), state and visa type. Use English terms: the content of the job orders is entirely in English.
On H2A Works you find the same database by state, occupation and start month, already with titles and summaries in Portuguese.
How to read a job order
The fields that matter most when comparing jobs:
- Case number: the case identifier, used to confirm that the job is real.
- Job title and job duties: position and activities (harvest, machinery, cattle, nursery).
- Wage offered: salary or amount per unit produced.
- Begin date and end date: expected start and end of the contract.
- Housing and transportation: lodging and transport provided by the employer.
- How to apply: email, phone or form for applying.
How to confirm the job is real
Keep the case number and look it up on the official portal. If the person offering you the job does not give the case number, or asks for payment by PIX to an individual, do not go ahead.
