What should founders of VC-funded startups with no previous exposure to the immigration system know about sponsorships and associated costs while hiring?
- proberts 7y agoFirst, make sure to ask the right questions during the hiring process so that you know, without crossing any discrimination lines, whether a candidate requires "sponsorship" and second, establish a relationship with an immigration attorney so that you can bring good candidates to his or her attention to determine whether sponsorship is possible and worthwhile.

- proberts 7y agoThe permissible questions are as follows: Will you now or in the future requirement immigration/visa sponsorship to work for us? If the candidate answers yes, then you can ask about his or her immigration status. If the candidate answers no, then you can't.
