Mercans Extends Footprint in Latin America by Increasing Presence in Colombia and Costa Rica

Aug 13, 2020



Los Angeles, Aug 13, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - Mercans is increasing its already prominent presence in Latin America by adding staff and office space at its branches in San José, Costa Rica, and Bogota, Colombia. With its even stronger presence in South America, the industry-disrupting HRO service provider, expert in global payroll outsourcing solutions and multi-country PEO GEO services, talent management, and recruitment process outsourcing services (RPO), intends to enhance its unequivocal commitment to its clients in Latin America.

A leading global payroll outsourcing company, and an international PEO and GEO service provider, Mercans already operates in 140+ countries. "Our stronger presence in San José and Bogota will help Mercans to leverage its industry-leading knowledge of local regulations and provide clients with the accurate local support they need when doing business in Costa Rica and Colombia. We have hired additional Spanish-speaking HR outsourcing and global payroll specialists with a sound knowledge of Colombian and Costa Rican labor laws and employment regulations. Our local payroll outsourcing, PEO, and compliance specialists will play a pivotal role in ensuring that our payroll outsourcing and PEO services are in full compliance with the complicated labor, tax, and social security regulations in Colombia and Costa Rica," said Marko Taylor, CEO of Mercans.

Mercans started operations in Latin America with its first branch in Argentina in 2008. In 2009, Mercans opened its second office in Brazil and, shortly after, opened another one in Chile. Compared to other international HRO and global payroll outsourcing companies, Mercans has the broadest footprint in the region with formal representation in fifteen locations spanning across Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Peru, Uruguay, and more.

Strongly committed to growing an operational hub in Latin America, Mercans delivers the most personalized and most accurate services in the region and proposes unparalleled customer service for a more relevant local and regional offer. Besides, all the Mercans SaaS solutions, either for global payroll, HRM, international recruitment, or ATS, have been updated accordingly, facilitating the operations of multinational companies doing business in Colombia and Costa Rica in particular, and South America in general.

"Our Costa Rican and Colombian offices are the perfect opportunities to remind to all businesses operating in Colombia and Costa Rica that Mercans is a leading global payroll and international HRM outsourcing company with innovative products and services," indicated Marko Taylor. The goal of Mercans is to be able to deliver its services in every geographic area of operation in the continent with highly specialized in-country HR and payroll expertise, paying particular attention to local tax and legal compliance. "It's a strategic decision allowing to overcome the global mobilization and legal compliance challenges that the majority of our clients in Colombia, Costa Rica, and Latin America at large, are facing," continued Marko Taylor.

"Although we have been present in South America for several years, we are positive that it's a good time for us to have a stronger representation in such a promising market. Needless to say, our clients in Colombia and Costa Rica will get solid support from all of our highly specialized in-country experts. Ultimately, our goal is to become the number one expert for international PEO GEO EOR services and global payroll outsourcing in Colombia, Costa Rica, and the region," concluded Marko Taylor.

Mercans' teams in Colombia and Costa Rica are available during weekdays from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm to assist existing customers, as well as those who want to learn more about Mercans SaaS products and international services.

The grimy basements of underground punk music and the pristine white walls of contemporary art galleries are usually opposing forces of the creative world, but to Janice Laujan – the screaming, growling frontwoman of Hong Kong cult band David Boring – they are simply different mediums through which she gets to “have a public breakdown”. “Performance is the only time I can be completely honest about something and project a very intense part of my personality,” says the Hong Kong artist. “It’s...

Nearly 50, Jason Mraz is genre-shifting, living in the moment and done flirting

“I’m not trying to be a flirt, like in my twenties,” American singer-songwriter Jason Mraz says, laughing. “I’m almost 50, and that’s not the vibe I’m putting out on stage any more.” It has been seven years since Mraz performed at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre as part of his “Good Vibes” Asia tour. Since that visit in 2019, Mraz has kept himself agile, releasing the full-length reggae record Look for the Good (2020), embracing disco-pop on the 2023 album Mystical Magical...
