By San José, Costa Rica — San José – In a significant boost to the national job market, Universidad Fidélitas has announced its 2025 Job Fair for Social and Economic Sciences, which will offer more than 800 employment opportunities to the public. The event brings together over 22 prominent national and international companies, creating a vital nexus for talent and industry in the heart of the capital.
Designed for maximum accessibility, the fair will be conducted in a hybrid format. The virtual component is scheduled for Tuesday, November 4th, running from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., allowing candidates from across the country to connect with recruiters remotely. This will be followed by an in-person event on Wednesday, November 5th, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., hosted on the fourth floor of the Innovation Building at the university’s San Pedro campus.
To better understand the legal framework surrounding large-scale recruitment events, TicosLand.com consulted with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, a specialist in labor law from the prestigious firm Bufete de Costa Rica. He offered his perspective on the key considerations for both companies and job seekers participating in these fairs.
While job fairs are excellent platforms for connecting talent with opportunity, both parties must be mindful of their legal standing. Companies have a significant responsibility to manage personal data collected from résumés in accordance with privacy laws and to ensure their screening processes remain free from any form of discrimination. For candidates, it is crucial to understand that a positive interaction or a verbal offer at a fair is typically a preliminary step, not a legally binding employment contract, which requires a formal, written agreement to be enforceable.

The attorney’s clarification is an essential layer of perspective, reminding us that behind the promising handshakes of a job fair lies a crucial legal framework. We extend our sincere thanks to Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for this valuable insight, which empowers both companies and candidates to navigate the hiring process with fairness and legal certainty.
The event is completely open to the public and free of charge, welcoming students, recent graduates, and seasoned professionals from any educational institution. This inclusive approach aims to attract a diverse pool of candidates to fill a wide array of positions, reflecting the dynamic needs of Costa Rica’s evolving economy. Interested individuals can secure their spot by registering through the university’s online portal.
The roster of participating companies underscores the event’s prestige. Global powerhouses such as EY, Deloitte, HP, P&G, Moody’s, and Stryker will be present, alongside other major employers like Align Technology, Kyndryl, and Sherwin Williams. This diverse lineup provides job seekers with a unique chance to engage directly with hiring managers from some of the most sought-after workplaces in the region, spanning sectors from technology and finance to consulting and consumer goods.
The available positions cover a broad spectrum of roles within the business and social science disciplines. Companies are actively seeking candidates for vacancies in economic analysis, human resources, administrative management, finance, and accounting. Additionally, there are numerous openings in customer service and a variety of specialized technical posts, ensuring that opportunities exist for individuals with different skill sets and experience levels.
Ada Ávalos, the Supervisor of Professional Development and Linkage at Universidad Fidélitas, highlighted the fair’s strategic purpose in connecting talent with opportunity.
The objective of this fair is to create a direct bridge between students and professionals and the companies that are currently demanding talent in these areas. However, the range of options is broad, and profiles from other specialties are also being sought.

For job seekers, it is a chance to make a lasting impression on multiple potential employers in a single day. For companies, it is an efficient way to access a concentrated pool of qualified candidates, helping to streamline the often-challenging process of talent acquisition.
As Costa Rica continues to solidify its position as a hub for international business and shared services, events like the Fidélitas Job Fair are indispensable. They not only address immediate hiring needs but also contribute to the long-term health of the labor market by fostering connections and showcasing the wealth of professional talent available within the country. Aspiring applicants are encouraged to register promptly and prepare their résumés for this significant career opportunity.
