The Washington-based company Smartsheet, a U.S. technology company that provides a platform for work management, announced the expansion of its facilities located at the Cariari Corporate Center in Heredia Province.

“We chose to expand our international presence in Costa Rica given the country's proven experience in the services industry," Mark Mader, Smartsheet CEO said. " The outstanding work of our Costa Rican team has allowed us to reach new heights as a company this year, and I’m excited to see the growing team contributes even more to Smartsheet’s global success in 2023 and beyond.”

Smartsheet counts for 80% of Fortune 500 companies and a significant number of small- and medium-sized businesses, including educational and governmental, and non-profit organizations, as its customers. 

The firm is actively seeking candidates with professional profiles in areas such as sales, financial operations, business operations, technical support, human resources, customer service, auditing, RPA automation, quality control, and creative design. Those interested in applying for a job should visit the firm's Careers site.

Even though new businesses are creating jobs, the unemployment rate has increased to 11.6%, according to the National Employment Survey. The data recorded from September to November shows that there are more than 287,000 people without registered jobs. Of these, 165,000 are women, making up 57% of unemployed people in the country.

Smartsheet is one of many international firms investing in Costa Rica.  Recently, the Ontario, Canada-headquartered Bill Gosling Outsourcing (BGO) announced the opening of more than 300 job vacancies in Costa Rica.
