"One reason is that employers can easily be flooded with hundreds, or sometimes thousands, of applications"
We're told our immigration policy has caused a drought in programmers, yet employers are flooded with applications from the nonexistent workforce.
- coralreef 12y agoIt's not that companies can't find programmers, it's that they would rather find elite programmers than develop lesser ones.
- joshuacc 12y agoTo be fair, that's not a self-contradictory position. It is quite possible that there could be a lack of qualified programmers, while employers are flooded with applications from unqualified programmers. The obvious solution to that problem is, of course, for companies to spend the time and money on training.
