Jair Bolsonaro foi eleito presidente, em 2018, com uma plataforma política que combinava beligerância e autoritarismo político, desvalorização de pautas identitárias e de movimentos sociaisde movimentos ecológicos, de luta pela terra e pela moradia, indígenas, quilombolas, LGBTQIA+, de mulheres, negros etc. -, associação mesquinha entre religião cristã e gestão política e pressupostos de um neoliberalismo maleável, cujo intento maior se revelou o rapto e destruição das estruturas organizacionais do Estado, com salvaguarda apenas de investimentos nas Forças Armadas. Neste sentido, a participação ativa das Forças Armadas na administração do Estado brasileiro representou não somente o aumento expressivo do número de militares em postos civis, mas também a ingerência direta em assuntos diversos, como as políticas ambientais, a proteção florestal e a gestão de áreas de preservação. Durante os quatro anos do Governo Bolsonaro, houve a defesa de um modelo de desenvolvimento ilimitado-avassalador, com importantes lideranças políticas promovendo a ideia da natureza como obstáculo ao progresso e saudando a poluição atmosférica, a construção de rodovias em áreas verdes, os agrotóxicos em geral e a dissolução das reservas indígenas. A vinculação do Serviço Florestal Brasileiro e da Agência Nacional de Águas ao Ministério da Agricultura, a extinção da Secretaria de Mudanças Climáticas, a interrupção no reconhecimento de novas terras indígenas e de terras quilombolas e o congelamento da criação de novas unidades de conservação, com o constante enfraquecimento do Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade (ICMBio) revelam, entre muitos outros exemplos, destruição da natureza, o avanço das fronteiras da acumulação capitalista sobre a floresta e a opção pela extração violenta em lugar da preservação.

“…O recrutamento é considerado uma importante prática de gestão de pessoas nas OSFL e suas estratégias (Akingbola, 2006), sendo, por sua vez, capaz de influenciar a sua própria eficácia (Abrokwah et al, 2018). A prática do recrutamento tem início com a procura de pessoas com determinadas competências, fazendo-as compatibilizar com as funções que a organização necessita (Ivancevich & Konopaske, 2013).…”

As of 2019, the COVID-19 Pandemic in Portugal confronted non-profit organizations with unprecedented challenges, leading to the need to adapt to the new pandemic context., The HRM area was strongly affected and forced to make quick, effective, and efficient adjustments to better respond to the new requirements. This work analyzes and identifies the main changes that non-profit organizations had to make in this area, specifically in recruitment and selection practices within a pandemic context. For this purpose, those responsible for managing people in private institutions of social solidarity and equivalent institutions, with a people management structure, are from two municipalities in the northern region of Portugal. We, therefore, used an exploratory study, consisting of applying a survey by questionnaire. The study population consisted of all IPSS and institutions equivalent to IPSS, in the municipalities of Felgueiras and Lousada. The study sample all IPSS and institutions equivalent to IPSS, with a people management structure – of 27 IPSS. This investigation found that third sector institutions do not ignore people management and it´s multiple practices. They have probably not yet reached the desired development and maturity, but there is a progressive concern about “scientifically managing the most important assets” – People. This study concluded that, in relation to the previous period, 71% of institutions, in a pandemic context, had increased recruitment needs. Although with some changes, most IPSS managed to use the same type of recruitment (internal, external and/or mixed) that they practiced in the period prior to the pandemic. There were several recruitment difficulties and the techniques used were varied, as we will demonstrate.

“…The effective implementation of HR management practices regarding the recruitment and the selection of the employees affects the SMEs' performance. As all the business processes are carried out by employees, the recruitment and selection of efficient, skilled, educated, expert, and experienced employees for the vacant job position, improves the functioning of all the business processes, which leads to business success (Abrokwah, Yuhui, Agyare, & Asamany, 2018). When an employee having sufficient experience in the relevant field is recruited and selected for the vacant position, he proves to be an asset for a small-scale enterprise.…”
