Lundi supports compliant employment in Venezuela on a case-by-case basis given ongoing economic and political instability. Significant senior Venezuelan talent has relocated regionally (Colombia, Spain, Argentina, Mexico). Lundi typically recommends sourcing the relocated talent in its current geography.
Venezuela historically had strong professional talent in Caracas — oil/gas, finance, and tech. Since 2015–2020, ongoing economic collapse, hyperinflation, and political instability have driven extensive talent emigration — approximately 7 million Venezuelans have left the country, with substantial professional talent now in Colombia, Spain, Argentina, Mexico, and the United States. Lundi supports compliant employment in Venezuela on a case-by-case basis but typically recommends sourcing the relocated Venezuelan talent in its new geography. For Spanish-language operations Colombia (which has absorbed the largest share of Venezuelan migrants), Spain, Mexico, or Argentina are typically the right answers.
In Venezuela, professional recruitment agency fees range from 22-27% of the first-year annual base salary of a recruited employee. Recruitment agencies also require an upfront retainer and payment in advance installments of the agency fee based on milestones such as start of recruitment, presentation of candidates, and scheduling interviews with a candidate shortlist.
