Building a Tech-Savvy Workforce to Foster a Future-ready Culture of Innovation
In an increasingly competitive landscape, swiftly securing tech talent to drive digital optimization poses a significant challenge. Complicating matters further is the necessity for our global clientele to leverage their managed services operations and advanced projects for maximum productivity gains with reliable talents in cost-optimized locations, often utilizing a ‘follow-the-sun’ model.
Throughout our talent journey, our employees upskill their knowledge in project management, software engineering, data and analytics, and AI, to foster a culture of creativity and problem-solving skills. To successfully build a tech-savvy workforce that meets our ‘follow the sun model,’ we participated in the annual CINDE Multilingual Job Fair held at the Antigua Aduana, San José – Costa Rica from 5 to 7 April 2024.
Costa Rica: The Ideal Nearshore Talent Pool
In recent years, Costa Rica has emerged as one of the premier nearshore locations to support our clients in both engineering and non-engineering projects.
According to the World Bank, Costa Rica is a success story in terms of development. It is considered an upper middle-income country, which has shown steady economic growth over the past 25 years. This growth resulted from an outward-oriented strategy, based on openness to foreign investment and gradual trade liberalization.
With its increasing political and social stability, growth trajectory, and enhanced quality of life, our clients have realized significant cost savings ranging from 25% to 30% by partnering with us on managed services projects operating in nearshore locations.
