Hiring in Costa Rica

Historically, Costa Rica has been highly committed to public education. According to Harvard University’s “ReVista” review of Latin America, the country allocates a higher percentage of total government expenditure to education, as compared to other Latin American countries and countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

These and other labor force characteristics make Costa Rica an attractive option for employers, and an employer of record (EOR) can offer a highly efficient way for organizations to employ workers in the country while reducing compliance-related risks.

Relying on an employer of record (EOR) in Costa Rica

Because of the complexity of Costa Rica’s labor and tax laws, compliant employment contracts are a critical business requirement. With Safeguard Global as your EOR partner, you can hire employees in Costa Rica with confidence, knowing that every contract meets legal standards. We also provide guidance on cultural expectations and hiring best practices while helping you stay current with regulatory changes.
