About

In October 2022, Brazilian IDTech unicorn Unico conducted a workforce restructuring, laying off approximately 50 employees, which represented about 4.4% of its total workforce of over 1,000. The layoffs primarily affected the sales and customer sectors as part of a broader reorganization initiated earlier in the year to consolidate governance and improve team efficiency. Concurrently, the company has been strengthening its technology division, hiring around 50 new employees over the preceding four months, including high-profile executives like former Google engineer Bruno Fonseca as Chief Architect. This shift reflects a strategic realignment to focus on technological development and operational clarity amidst changing market demands.
