It is (out of 120+ applicants, we had 1 PR and 1 EP holder, rest foreign) but it's also incredibly easy to import talent. Pay them enough for an EP, and you get the EP approved in hours if not days. In one case, the guy was in Colombia when we made him an offer and sent him his flights, his EP was rejected when he was transferring in New York (because he didn't have a degree, so the government thought we were "overpaying" and asked us to explain), his appeal was approved just before he landed in Hong Kong, where he downloaded the Letter and showed it to border control in Singapore. Total time from offer to walking into the office: 36 hours. Good luck doing that in the US.
