Hortor, the Leeds-headquartered global strategic resourcing consultancy, has announced that it is growing its presence in Costa Rica which is located alongside Central America’s major economic hubs.

The business plans to open a larger office in the capital of Costa Rica, San José, in order to grow its diverse client base.

A new business development manager, Spanish speaking Florencia Prato, has recently been appointed to work alongside a team of specialists who will seek to identify potential candidates for permanent or temporary placements.

Hortor Costa Rica, supported by a network of industry specialists, focuses on specific IT fields such as Cyber Security and Infrastructure; Network Solutions; Software Development and Robotic Process Automation (RPA); and AI and Machine Learning.

Prato said: “We have identified Costa Rica as a country and marketplace with huge potential. With an educated workforce and growing economy, we believe scaling up Hortor’s consultative approach will deliver greater results for companies in this relatively untapped marketplace.

“As a native Spanish speaker myself, I will be able to forge a strong relationship with our local team of experts and quickly develop the market insight that will determine how best we can deliver our services to our growing client base.”

Joint CEO of Hortor, Andy Nicholson, said: “In order to achieve our ambitious targets, we had to look at forming a physical presence in developing marketplaces, as well as established areas, across the globe.
“Expanding our presence in Costa Rica forms part of our long-term strategy due to the growth potential we are expecting to see from the San José office.

“Setting the foundations, our Spanish speaking team will have full access to a dedicated delivery centre in the UK so they can work with any client and most importantly, meet with any requirements they may have.”

Hortor is a specialist recruitment consultancy working with global businesses that need digital placements around the world. It also delivers managed services and an Employment Consultant Model for those that require long and short-term, temporary and project-based resources.
