I'm not from the US, but I believe it's partly about risk. Hiring overseas might be a not so costly option but the risks involved might make it not worth it. There is a myriad of things that could go wrong shuch as the hiree might fell more unconfortable than excpected living in a foreing country and his profile might be different than what you were led to believe by a non-presential long distance hiring process.Reducing this possibilities incurs in costs that probably far outpaces the high cost of hiring internaly.
