Colombia is known as the Gateway to South America due to its location between Central and South America. It is the fifth largest country in Latin America and U.S. companies account for almost 100,000 jobs there. The work culture in Colombia revolves around punctuality, enthusiasm and respect. So you will find hard workers in Colombia, but like anywhere, work/life balance is important. This makes Colombia a great area for HR departments to target for hiring initiatives.
Spanish is the most spoken language in Colombia, and with today’s modern machine translation tools, communication should not be a problem as you look to onboard these new hires.
Shipping to Colombia is straightforward and relatively easy. Most major delivery companies offer services to Colombia. Customs procedures in Colombia can be complex, so you’ll want to be sure to go with a device and equipment provider who knows what they’re doing. The customs complexities could cause some delays in shipping, but not necessarily. So, after you hire an employee in Colombia, there shouldn’t be too many additional hurdles to overcome to get their devices and equipment to them.
Of course, weight and package size are the biggest factors in any shipping cost. But, generally speaking, the price to ship a laptop, monitor or phone to Colombia is around $140 - $150 by UPS Worldwide Expedited.
