What it's like to hire in Chile
Chile is the most economically competitive economy in Latin America and the Caribbean, according to the World Economic Forum. Chile’s economic prominence stems from its low inflation rate, low public debt, and competitive and open markets.
Chile is renowned for its business-friendly legislation and economic freedom. Only Singapore has more Free Trade Agreements than Chile.
Thanks to Chile’s historically stable economy and continued integration into international markets, Chile holds an A+ credit rating from Fitch.
Chile is part of the Pacific Alliance, a Latin American trade bloc that includes Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and 55 observer states. The bloc supports free trade in terms of goods, services, capital, and people, and accounts for about 35% of Latin America’s GDP. Over recent years, the Pacific Alliance has increased integration with Mercosur, South America’s other large trade block. If wholly joined with Mercosur, the Pacific Alliance would nearly double its size, expand its international reach, and vastly increase its economic potential.

Hiring in Chile
- Chile’s Labour Code does not include a probationary period outside of a two-week period provided for domestic workers. Either party may terminate the employment contract during this window, as long as they give a three-day notice, and the employer pays the employee for the time served.
- In practice, many Chilean companies implement a de-facto probationary period by offering employees an initial fixed-term agreement. If the employee demonstrates sufficient value by the end of this fixed-term period, the employer will offer the employee an indefinite contract. Otherwise, the employer will not renew a contractual agreement with the employee.
