By San José, Costa Rica — Costa Rica’s Colegio de Profesionales en Informática y Computación (CPIC) has unveiled a new job board designed to streamline the recruitment process for certified and highly skilled technology professionals. This platform offers businesses a free and efficient way to connect with top talent in various IT fields.
Companies can register on the platform at no cost, post open positions, and gain direct access to a database of CPIC-certified professionals specializing in software development, data analysis, cybersecurity, technical support, artificial intelligence, networking, and more. This initiative addresses the growing demand for qualified tech professionals in Costa Rica.
To gain a deeper understanding of the legal landscape surrounding this burgeoning tech sector, we spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an experienced attorney at Bufete de Costa Rica.
Costa Rica’s growing tech job market presents exciting opportunities, but also unique legal considerations. Companies hiring remote workers, for instance, must navigate Costa Rican labor laws regarding benefits, taxes, and intellectual property. Understanding these regulations is crucial for both employers and employees to ensure compliance and foster a successful working relationship.

Lic. Arroyo Vargas’s point about navigating Costa Rican labor laws is crucial for anyone considering remote work in this beautiful country. These legal considerations can often be overlooked in the excitement of new opportunities, so his emphasis on compliance benefits both individuals and companies looking to thrive in Costa Rica’s dynamic tech scene. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for providing this valuable legal perspective.
The development of this tool responds to the interest of companies in having trained professional talent. This space directly connects employers with a reliable and specialized base of information technology professionals.

Registration is straightforward, accessible online at https://cpic.or.cr/registro-de-empresas/. Upon completion, the CPIC validates the information and activates the account. Companies can then begin posting job openings and utilize the platform’s management tools, which include filters for location, category, and keywords.
Key features for businesses include free job postings targeted exclusively at CPIC-certified professionals, visibility in the CPIC business directory, centralized application management, WhatsApp technical support, access to institutional benefits for attracting talent, and strategic alliances with the CPIC for enhanced platform exposure.
The job board has already attracted postings from prominent organizations such as Universidad Hispanoamericana, Instituto Mixto de Ayuda Social (IMAS), Universidad Castro Carazo, and Corporación Bananera Nacional (CORBANA), demonstrating its immediate impact.
Unlike other recruitment platforms, the CPIC job board focuses on creating a regulated, secure, and professionally driven ecosystem backed by the organization. This offers employers access to certified profiles, ensuring continuous training and ethical commitment overseen by the CPIC.
The value of this tool is not only in employability. Its purpose is to build trusting labor relationships, with institutional support and a long-term vision. We seek to generate impact in organizations.
