What this is — and what it is not

This is not the universe of Brazilian public exams. Reading it as if it were produces wrong conclusions, and it is the easiest mistake to make with it.

Coverage has two parts of different depth:

• Cebraspe (a major exam organizer) — a historical series going back to 2015. The most complete part, and the only one with over a decade of depth.
• Official Gazette of the Union, Section 3 (Diário Oficial da União) — federal exam notices from any organizer, collected daily. Started in 2026; not retroactive.

Not covered: municipal and state exams in general (published in state and municipal gazettes, not collected here), and organizers that answer automated collection with a bot challenge — respected rather than circumvented, so left out by choice.

Any total-count statistic describes this dataset, not the country. Breakdowns by organizer, especially the Cebraspe series, are far more defensible.

One trap worth flagging

Most vacancies come from a single event: the 2020 IBGE Census (181,898 census-taker + 22,409 census-agent positions). Real numbers, but temporary hiring, not permanent posts. Any average or total that includes them is dominated by them. Split by status and by the hiring body's name before aggregating.

Columns

column	description
orgao, orgao_sigla	hiring body and its acronym
esfera	federal, estadual, or municipal
uf, cidade	state (2 letters) and municipality
banca	organizing institution; repeats the body's name when it organizes its own exam
numero_edital, ano	notice number (N/YYYY) and its year
status	stage in the exam's life cycle
vagas_total	total vacancies; 0 = reserve list, empty = not stated
salario_min, salario_max	starting salary range, in BRL
escolaridade_min	minimum education level required
inscricao_inicio, inscricao_fim, data_prova	registration window and exam date
edital_url	link to the notice at the official source
url	link to the exam's page on Radar de Concurso

The file is UTF-8, no BOM, comma-separated, dot decimal, dates as YYYY-MM-DD, RFC 4180 compliant. An empty field means not stated in the source, never zero — except vagas_total, where 0 means a reserve list with no immediate vacancy.

How the data is produced

Collected from official sources (respecting robots.txt, one request per second per host), fields extracted by a language model over the notice text, then scored by a deterministic confidence check. Only records that clear the threshold and have a notice number are published. Everything else is held for human review and does not enter the file.
