Elevate opens its Costa Rica office to serve Swissport and global clients, and will close 2026 with 50 employees in the country

1. Costa Rica joins Elevate’s network of 14 offices in 9 countries as its strategic hub to serve clients in North America, South America and Europe.
2. The company is hiring local professionals in Human Resources, IT and Finance, expecting to double their team by 2027.

Costa Rica. 10 November 2026. Elevate, a Flexible Workforce Solutions company with more than 20 years of experience, officially opened its office in Costa Rica, from which it will strengthen its delivery capabilities across the Americas and serve a growing portfolio of international clients, including Swissport International, a global leader in airport ground services and air cargo handling.

The company began operations in the country in late 2025 and has since been building its local team and operational capabilities. Elevate expects to close 2026 with approximately 50 employees in Costa Rica, a figure that reflects its plans for continued growth in the market.

Elevate’s Costa Rica office is located at WeWork El Cafetal II, in Belén, Heredia.

“Opening our office in Costa Rica is an important milestone in Elevate’s international development and a key step in strengthening our presence in the Americas. Costa Rica has a strong talent pool with experience in supporting global businesses and brings us closer to our clients across the region. We are especially pleased to continue developing our partnership with Swissport from this location,” said Ivaylo Slavov, Chairman and CEO of Elevate.

The country’s skilled talent pool, strong educational foundation, bilingual capabilities, and experience supporting international businesses have positioned Costa Rica as a preferred destination for global operations. For Elevate, Costa Rica provides a strong base for supporting existing and future clients across North America, South America and Europe.

For CINDE, the private, independent, non-profit agency that promotes foreign direct investment and business development in Costa Rica, Elevate’s arrival adds a different kind of player to the country’s business services ecosystem.

“Elevate’s business is building operations for other companies. Every client it serves from Costa Rica is a potential door to new investment and new jobs, and that multiplier effect is exactly what we look for. It also opens strategic roles in Human Resources, IT, and Finance that keep raising the bar for Costa Rican talent,” said Marianela Urgellés, Managing Director of CINDE.

Elevate is actively expanding its workforce, hiring experienced professionals across Human Resources, IT, Finance, and other business functions. Opportunities span mid and senior-level roles, with the company planning to reach 200 employees by 2028.
