Hiring in Costa Rica

Costa Rica, located in Central America, is something of a paradise – and not just for its natural wonders either. It’s not called the ‘Switzerland of Central America’ for nothing!

Incredibly secure, liberal in terms of press, economy and politics, and famously neutral (Costa Rica does not employ an army, air force or navy), Costa Ricans care more about preserving their amazing country and increasing their prospects through smart business rather than exploiting their country or those around them.

The 5 million or so Costa Ricans, who enjoy one of the world’s most stable democracies, have made their nation something of a haven for investors. Low tax industrial zones, incentives for foreign investment and a highly educated workforce attract organisations from around the world. With a prevalence of American and European organisations who take advantage of tax-free zones, especially for manufacturing, Costa Rican workers enjoy some of the best working practices in the region, including higher wages and more robust employment rights.
