Caracas Businesses Drive Job Listings Across Platforms
Nearly 1,200 openings appear on LinkedIn and Locanto as firms post roles in sales, healthcare and other fields.
How we reported this
LinkedIn lists approximately 938 active job openings in Caracas while Locanto reports 218 postings, according to platform data compiled in mid-2026.
The figures point to an active if scattered hiring environment at a time when Caracas records an unemployment rate of 8.5 percent, labor participation at 54.2 percent and informal employment at 58 percent of the workforce as of 2025. Many residents continue to rely on government subsidies amid wage pressures, yet the volume of listings shows companies continuing to recruit for immediate needs.
Common roles and pay ranges
The most frequent categories include sales and commercials with 22 postings, healthcare and medicine with 20, administrative roles with 15 and call center or customer service positions with nine, based on listings reviewed on empleate.com. Sectors represented range from food manufacturing and private security to retail and technology, including cybersecurity sales and hybrid attorney positions noted on Indeed and related sites.
Pay details vary by role. One Acquisitions Manager listing offers $800 to $2,000 monthly base plus commission, while other positions list pay in Venezuelan bolívares from BsF 29,120 to 72,800. These ranges appear directly on the job advertisements hosted by Locanto and similar platforms.
Entry-level openings and next steps
LinkedIn shows 35 positions open to candidates without prior experience, giving recent graduates and career changers a visible set of starting points. The presence of these listings alongside more specialized roles illustrates how local employers are filling gaps at multiple skill levels.
