San José, Costa Rica. September 25, 2023. Beginning this Monday, September 25, and through next Sunday, October 1,
CINDE will hold the most important multilingual job fair in Costa Rica, now offered virtually. Candidates will have access to employment opportunities at multinational companies; participation will not require travel from any region of the country, be it within the Central Valley or
outside the Greater Metropolitan Area (GAM).
The Multilingual Job Fair seeks to recruit talent with a command of at least two languages (primarily English), to meet the demands of the global companies established in Costa Rica. This virtual edition of the job fair brings together more than 2,000 available job openings and represents one of CINDE’s many efforts, as the private investment advisory agency of Costa Rica, to improve both job opportunities for Costa Ricans and the business climate for investors.
“At CINDE, we believe in innovation, inclusion, and opportunities for everyone, throughout the country. Therefore, this second edition, offered virtually, will allow people more time to submit their applications, carefully review a position’s requirements, and even train themselves for the recruitment processes at multinational companies," explained Vanessa Gibson, CINDE’s Director of Investment Climate.
Gibson added: “For many years, our motivation for these job fairs has been to provide real options for the Costa Ricans who most need them and today, there are many people who have entered the multinational sector through this initiative. Our close relationship with multinationals has allowed us to build a unique tool to highlight vacancies for positions with true need, while making it free to access and bringing together the sector’s most important companies in a single space.”
This edition of the virtual job fair welcomes 26 companies linked to the
services sector,
digital technologies, and
life sciences; they seek applicant profiles in areas such as human resources, customer service, accounting and finance, engineering, software development, quality control, data management, project management, administration, design and communication, and sales, among others.
