Conclusion
Organized recruiting methods and advanced on-job training programs to sustain its
development operations in San José
Availability
Quality
The talent pool suitable for software development in
San José is relatively smaller when compared to
other Latin American locations
As there are very few large software companies in
the country, there is a lack of highly skilled software
development talent

Critical
Factors
4
Sustainability
Strong university/college collaboration programs are
required to recruit employees as other traditional
sources like recruitment companies, social
networking sites haven’t matured to the levels in US

Lack of organized recruiting methods and limited size
of the available and fresh talent pool makes it
difficult for software companies to expand.
