About us

Karat Human Resources was founded in 2022 with the goal of helping organizations build strong, dedicated teams aligned with their business vision. The team brings together experienced professionals from both strategic and operational spheres of human resources and recruitment, offering complementary expertise and a human-centered approach focused on results.

The name Karat refers to the unit of purity used in jewelry – the carat – a strong symbol illustrating our firm’s commitment to precision, transparency and excellence. It also reflects the team’s deep roots in the mining industry, particularly in gold production, where several members have built their careers over the years.

Our team stands out for its human, strategic and tailored approach, centered on the quality of relationships and the relevance of actions. Rather than prioritizing volume, we focus on a rigorous and personalized selection of partners that aligns with our values and culture. This approach allows us to build long-term partnerships and generate concrete impact on growth and organizational performance for our clients.
