What Colombia recruiters expect

Colombian CVs (Hoja de Vida) follow Latin American convention. 1-2 pages reverse-chronological. Servicio Público de Empleo (serviciodeempleo.gov.co) is the official jobseeker portal under Ministerio de Trabajo. The Hoja de Vida de la Función Pública template (Formato Único de Hoja de Vida) is required for public-sector applications and rejected for private sector — use a regular CV instead. Spanish native; English required for multinationals, BPO sector (especially Bogotá / Medellín), oil & gas. Photo + DOB conventional in private sector but Ley 2197/2022 + Ley 1482/2011 protect against discrimination. Cédula (national ID) NEVER on a public CV.
