- dmoy 11y agoH1B requires a company to try to hire locally first. Though it's unclear if restricting to ivy league or w/e is a strategy there that actually works... I don't get that part.
- marme 11y agoh1b requirements are a joke. companies can make any requirements they want. The easiest way to hire a foreigner on an h1b is put a language requirement in the job description that would be nearly impossible for any to have that the candidate you want to hire just so happens knows how to speak. It does not matter that the actual job does not require this skill they are allowed to put it in the job description and throw out all resumes who dont claim to meet this and then give an impossible interview to anyone who claims to meet the requirements
- FilterSweep 11y agothis is exactly right. I happen to know a few key persons at some of these companies who do this, and they still have the gall to complain over social media over how they can't hire enough foreigners. they complain under the guise of being "globally-minded" but most people know they would just prefer to cut costs of human labor.
- nommm-nommm 11y agoEven if they do interview a candidate who perfectly matches the job description they can just claim "not a good culture fit." This isn't even a secret, an immigration attorney posted a promotional video on their own site explaining how they do this.
- nommm-nommm 11y agoH1bs are only given out when the company has needs that can't be met by US persons. Some companies get around this requirement by making job openings that are impossible to fill.
