They don't have to be fraudulent. It's easier to fill with an H1B candidate with experience than with a fresh engineer with a recent degree.

  A lot (and I mean 90%+) of H1Bs are outright lying about their experience in the tech field. At least from my short time doing hiring for a position in Texas. I eventually went to our management and got them to stop listening to recruiting body shops and hire someone local.

    > A lot (and I mean 90%+) of H1Bs How can you say that with such confidence? Maybe the issue is your workplace is using staffing agency, primarily?

      Because I have been around a long time and know lots of other people in the software world who have had similar experiences.

        Okay. Extremely data driven approach.

    putting badly generalized data out with confidence. start people more (100k+)and see good h1b candidates. talent follows money.
