Costa Rica’s hiring outlook for the next quarter is mostly stable, according to the latest Employment Outlook Survey from consulting firm ManpowerGroup.
Employers in Costa Rica were optimistic about hiring plans for the next quarter, according to the Employment Outlook Survey released Tuesday by consulting firm Manpower.
According to a recent employment outlook survey, 22 percent of employers plan to hire new staff during the first quarter of 2016, an improvement over the current quarter and over the same period of 2015.
The best employment outlooks for the last quarter of 2015 are in the construction and services sectors, mostly in Heredia, Alajuela and in the coastal regions.
Job hunters increasingly are using social media to find out about about potential employers. But a company’s website is still the main source of information for most of them, a recent study found.
According to the latest survey by consulting firm Manpower, 17 percent of employers in Costa Rica expect to increase hiring, while 7 percent anticipate cuts in the next three months.
