These new hires will join the company’s more than 1,600 current employees at its Global Operations Center located in Heredia Province. Their service markets include the United States and the United Kingdom.

According to the firm, they chose Costa Rica for its national stability, as well as the quality and availability of Costa Rican talent. "For Experian, Costa Rica remains a priority destination for developing and supporting its global strategy, allowing for incorporating new business units and increasing personnel for the teams that are already established in the country," they said in its statement.

“Costa Rica continues to prove itself a key player in Experian's success. In Costa Rican professionals, we have found the skills and ambition necessary to keep our [Global Operations Center] constantly growing since 2008," said Minor Monge, General Manager of Experian Costa Rica. "During the company's years of experience in the country, Experian has identified a robust cradle of talent with outstanding technical skills and a level of command of the English language capable of supporting fully bilingual operations.” 

The company has 15 years of operations in Costa Rica. Globally, Experian advises companies on credit risk management, identity fraud and financial crime prevention, marketing solutions, decision automation, and business process outsourcing (BPO).

Company employees receive benefits such as performance bonuses, health and life insurance, an employee assistance plan, an educational reimbursement program, an employee association, extra vacation days, personal enjoyment days, volunteer programs, and professional development programs, among others.

Experian is one of many international firms investing in Costa Rica. Recently, the California-headquartered Pacific Barcode, a company and supplier of labels for the medical device subsector, announced the expansion of its operations in its facilities located in Alajuela Province.

Even though new businesses are creating jobs, the unemployment rate remains at 9.7%, according to the National Employment Survey. Data recorded from February to April 2023, shows that there are more than 224,000 people without registered jobs. Of these, 121,000 are women, making up 54% of unemployed people in the country.
