主要心得
- Chile is a stable country for global hiring: A skilled workforce, strong infrastructure, and growing tech sector make it a key market for expansion in Latin America.
- Labor reforms are changing hiring requirements: The phased move to a 40-hour workweek and strict contractor classification rules need careful compliance planning.
- Employment costs go beyond salary: Make sure to budget for mandatory profit-sharing bonuses, pension contributions, statutory benefits, and the January 2026 minimum wage increase to CLP 539,000.
- Hire in Chile without setting up a local entity: Use an employer of record (EOR) to simplify payroll, compliance, and onboarding.
智利是企業拓展拉丁美洲市場的重要基地。該國經濟穩定，貿易開放，並擁有金融、科技、採礦和再生能源等領域的熟練人才。
但新的勞動改革正在重塑智利企業的招募方式。 我們的指南涵蓋了您在智利建立遵守法規、合規團隊所需了解的所有資訊。
在智利招聘前需要了解哪些信息
Before you hire employees in Chile, take a deep dive into the country’s labor rules and workplace expectations.
以下是需要規劃的四個關鍵領域：
1 。新的40小時五天工作制；週間工作日過渡
Chile is moving toward a 40-hour workweek under the country’s 40 Hours Law. The rollout follows a phased timeline:
- 44 hours per week from April 2024
- 42 hours per week from April 2026
- 40 hours per week from April 2028
雇主必須以50 %的加班費支付加班費，且加班時間每天不得超過兩小時。新規還允許員工將加班時間轉換為額外假期——每年最多可額外獲得五天假期。
2 。沒有法律緩刑期
智利沒有法定緩刑期。員工從入職之日起就享有全面的勞動保障。
You’ll also need to finalize and sign written employment contracts within 15 days of the employee’s start date. Missing this deadline triggers fines of up to 5 UTM — a government-set penalty unit worth roughly CLP 340,000, or about USD 350, depending on the monthly exchange rate.
3 。淨薪水談判
智利的候選人根據淨工資進行談判，而不是每年的福利；補償金。
這很重要，因為員工透過薪資扣除承擔了很大一部分社會安全費用。這些扣除項包括：
- 10 %退休金繳款
- 7 % 健康保險繳費
- 失業保險金
In addition, Chilean law requires employers to pay a statutory annual bonus called gratificación. This bonus can be calculated as a share of company profits or as a fixed amount. Most employers also offer aguinaldos, or holiday bonuses, during Christmas and Chilean Independence Day.
4 。西班牙語要求
所有具有法律約束力的僱傭文件必須符合以下條件：
- 以西班牙語撰寫
- Two signed originals are legally required (one for each party). Keeping an extra copy on-site for inspections is a best practice.
Companies expanding into Chile often use local legal advisors or partner with an employer of record (EOR) to stay compliant and reduce contract risks.
智利主要招聘中心
選擇合適的人才，首先要選擇合適的地點：
- Santiago is Chile’s main business and financial center. The city leads the country in finance, technology, startups, and multinational headquarters. It also houses the country’s largest professional talent pool, making it a safe bet for companies building teams in Chile.
- Valparaíso and Viña del Mar are growing technology and professional services hubs. Many companies use them as a lower-cost alternative to Santiago while still gaining solid technical talent. The region is known for software development, logistics technology, and professional services.
- Antofagasta sits at the center of Chile’s mining economy and is widely recognized as a global mining technology hub. Companies hiring here often look for talent in industrial engineering, automation, robotics, and mining technology.
- Concepción is one of southern Chile’s largest industrial and university centers. Strong research institutions and manufacturing activity spark competition for technical talent. The city is a top location for hiring in research, applied engineering, and industrial software.
智利的主要產業
Understanding where Chile’s hiring market is strongest helps you benchmark salaries, target talent pools, and plan a better hiring strategy.
- Mining and minerals: Chile is the world’s largest copper producer and one of the leading lithium producers globally. Companies are actively hiring industrial engineers, automation specialists, robotics experts, and professionals with experience in autonomous mining systems.
- Information technology: Chile has one of the most developed digital markets in Latin America. Job demand is strong for software engineers, cybersecurity specialists, AI experts, cloud professionals, and talent specializing in 5G applications and digital infrastructure. Hiring activity has also increased, following Chile’s Cybersecurity Framework Law in 2024.
- Renewable energy: Chile is quickly upgrading its solar and wind energy capacity as part of its long-term green energy transition. The country’s northern regions support some of the world’s largest solar projects thanks to high solar exposure and large-scale infrastructure investment.
- Fintech: Chile’s fintech sector continues to grow following the introduction of the 2023 Fintech Law, which created a regulatory framework for financial innovation. The sector is driving demand for talent in digital payments, lending technology, compliance, financial management platforms, and regulatory technology.
- Industrial engineering and manufacturing: Chile’s industrial sector supports demand for applied engineering and operational talent, particularly in logistics, manufacturing, and infrastructure development. Common roles include mechanical engineers, operations managers, industrial software specialists, and supply chain professionals.

公司在智利招募員工需要做些什麼？
在智利僱用員工之前，您需要具備合法的經營場所。大多數公司會在設立本地實體或與名義僱主合作之間做出選擇。

在智利招募的關鍵步驟
智利的招募流程與你的祖國類似，但也有一些當地的細微差別。 以下是您需要了解的內容：
1 。策略採購
Personal networking plays an important role in Chile’s hiring market, but digital hiring channels are highly effective. Many employers use local job boards like Laborum alongside specialized technology and professional networks to reach qualified candidates. If you’re hiring remote employees in Chile, clearly state this in the job description.
2 。結構化面試
Structured interviews and case-based assessments improve hiring consistency and reduce bias during candidate evaluations. Keep Chile’s strict anti-discrimination laws in mind — avoid questions regarding an applicant's marital status or trade union affiliation. For virtual interviews, remember to schedule meetings using the candidate’s local time zone.
3 。合約最終確定
You must finalize a written employment contract before your new hire begins. Pay close attention to ensuring the clause of exclusivity is included, along with the mandatory Spanish text. The contract must also clearly outline the location, start date, remuneration, and work schedule.
4.入職
Once the contract is signed, onboarding begins. This process usually includes policy reviews, compliance paperwork, and training. One of the most important compliance steps is registering the new hire with Chile’s social security system within 30 days of employment. With G-P EOR, your team skips the complexity of local onboarding requirements. We manage payroll, compliance, and employment administration in Chile, so you can focus on training and integrating new hires.
在智利僱用獨立承包商
在智利僱用獨立承包商可以讓您的團隊快速獲得專業人才，而無需承擔長期僱用義務。但必須精心建構承包商關係，以避免錯誤分類的風險。
在智利聘請承包商之前，請記住以下幾點：
現實優先原則
Chile follows the primacy of reality principle, meaning labor authorities look at the actual working relationship, not just the contract language. This means if a contractor works under a company’s direction and control, they’ll be classified as an employee — regardless of what the agreement says.
主要風險因素包括：
- 固定工時
- 直接監督
- 獨家工作安排
- 對一家公司的持續依賴
誤分類風險
在智利，將員工錯誤地歸類為承包商會引發嚴重的法律糾紛。
這些包括：
- 追溯社會安全繳款
- 法定福利的補發款項
- 勞工法庭罰款和懲處
這時， G-P承包商就派上用場了。
