The California-headquartered truData Solutions, a cloud engineering firm, announced a $5 million investment to expand its Service Center located in Escazu Canton, San José. 

“With an uncertain U.S. economy and a volatile job market in India, rising salaries, and not to mention time zone challenges, this is a prime opportunity for further growth and scaling of truData’s nearshore capability in Costa Rica,” said Nevvar Hickmet, CEO of truData. “Our customers continue to drive significant investment from offshore to nearshore support, enabling a lower cost of ownership of cloud applications and platforms. With the added advantage of 9-5 coverage, this allows for companies to continue their investment in Digital Transformation, without sacrificing quality.”

According to the firm, Costa Rica’s accessibility to the U.S., combined with its stable economic and socioeconomic environment, a recent entry into the OECD, and its global leadership in environmental policies, makes further expansion in the country the right move for its clients and prospects. Plus they'll be adding jobs to the region and helping strengthen the local economy.

The company is hiring high-tech professionals. People interested in applying for a job vacancy should visit their careers website.

Active Campaign is one of many U.S. firms hiring in Costa Rica. Recently, the Chicago headquarters marketing firm, Active Campaign, announced the opening of a branch in San José.

Even though new businesses are creating jobs, the unemployment rate remains at 11%, according to the National Employment Survey. The data recorded from December 2022 to February 2023, shows that there are more than 264,000 people without registered jobs. Of these, 134,000 are women, making up 51% of unemployed people in the country.
