Online job postings frequently include a long list of detailed requirements, with most applicants summarily rejected by algorithms or offshore résumé reviewers.

I actually saw an ad, once, that required -- for a computer developer position -- that you specify your experience with "Computer" and "Operating System".

I explained to the clueless offshore recruiter, that having these requirements would be similar to adding "Electricity", "Chair", and "Breathing".

She still didn't get it.

I hung up.

Honest American candidates (i.e. those unwilling to lie in their resumes) are at a distinct disadvantage versus the H1B holders who are willing to pimp their resumes to say absolutely ANYTHING to get past the screening algorithms.
