Can confirm. Our requirement to fit the "cannot find American" requirement was to post a tiny ad in a small unknown paper with a ton of requirements that they H1-B we were about to hire didn't himself even really meet.
It was HIGHLY abused to just get cheap low-level IT staff. ...like the kinds who confuse Java with Javascript.
- busterarm 7y agoI've worked with a ton of H1B talent in my 20 years or so in the industry and I can count on one hand the number of times that they were an exceptional talent (compared to the rest of industry) that couldn't otherwise be sourced locally. That's true for anybody in any IT position, though, generally. Truly exceptional people are few and far between. Also in those cases those H1B folks were highly paid. No, the vast majority of times I've worked with H1B talent was because they were willing to work hard and for less.
- ganstyles 7y agoIANAL but posting a "tiny ad in a small unknown paper" does not meet this H1B requirement. The requirement itself has many facets, including posting in Sunday editions of widely spread newspapers in the area the job will be, posting with the state workforce agency, and additional requirements that can be met by doing things like holding job fairs. It's a combination of things to help find local talent first. Not making any statements on efficacy, just pointing out that what you said does not meet visa advertisement requirements and anecdotally sounds like the kind of anecdote boomers would FWD:FWD:FWD:FWD: around to try to drum up anti immigrant sentiment.
