By San José, Costa Rica — SAN JOSÉ – Universidad Fidélitas is set to become a major hub for professional advancement next week, announcing its 2025 Economic and Social Sciences Job Fair. The event promises to connect skilled candidates with over 800 available positions from 22 leading national and international companies, underscoring the robust demand for talent in Costa Rica’s key business sectors.
In a move to maximize accessibility, the university has structured the fair in a hybrid format. The first day, Tuesday, November 4th, will be held virtually from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., allowing applicants from across the country to engage with recruiters from the comfort of their homes. The event will then transition to an in-person format on Wednesday, November 5th, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the university’s Innovation Building on the fourth floor of its San Pedro campus.
Para analizar las implicaciones legales y las mejores prácticas que tanto empleadores como candidatos deben considerar en estos eventos de reclutamiento masivo, TicosLand.com consultó al Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, abogado especialista de la firma Bufete de Costa Rica, quien nos ofrece una valiosa perspectiva.
Las ferias de empleo son una herramienta de doble filo. Si bien agilizan el reclutamiento, los empleadores deben capacitar a su personal para no hacer promesas verbales que puedan ser interpretadas como un precontrato laboral. Además, es imperativo evitar preguntas sobre edad, estado civil o religión, ya que podrían constituir actos discriminatorios y abrir la puerta a futuros litigios.

Additionally, opportunities in high-demand areas like customer service and specialized business consulting will be prominently featured, catering to a broad range of skills and experience levels.
