Costa Rica is an attractive destination for overseas professionals, particularly those bringing specialist expertise. Across the country, expatriate communities are continuing to grow.
That said, a lack of formal training and persistent skills mismatches have slowed corporate development in many sectors. However, within technology and life sciences, the nation has successfully positioned itself as a central hub.
Skills Provision specialises in sourcing international talent for Costa Rican employers, while also supporting the international community through our Employer of Record (EOR) services.
Current areas of skills shortage include:
Employers are encouraged to search our extensive database to find the right candidates. Our global network is expanding rapidly, growing by around 75,000 people per year, many of whom are highly skilled in areas where Costa Rica is experiencing shortages.
Francesca Bailey, Head of Strategic Operations, commented:
“Our profile in Costa Rica is increasing, and as a result, we are receiving more enquiries from employers. While the visa process can at times be slow and cumbersome, we are making strong progress. I am also delighted to support international ventures seeking a legal and compliant presence in the region via our Employer of Record services. Looking ahead, I am confident that our coverage across the country will continue to grow.”
Organisations considering our risk-free international recruitment services should bear one thing in mind: you will not find a more dedicated partner to support your employment needs than Skills Provision.
