Quick question: do you hire remotely? Obviously I am talking domestic-remote as opposed to Philippines-remote. If you restrict yourself to local, on-site hiring then yeah, there's a shortage. If you hire people working remotely from Iowa or Canada, then maybe less so.
- mikeash 14y agoWe do, for the right person, but we prefer on-site when possible. I'm actually the only remote worker in the company at the moment. I can't say I've ever seen a good candidate who wanted to work remotely from Iowa or Canada, but maybe we just haven't looked properly. (Nothing against those places, just hasn't happened to me.) Of course, if you're willing to hire remotely, the H1-B thing gets much less pressing, as you can simply hire people overseas and keep them there, no need for a visa at all.
