It doesn't matter which state you are in -- you obviously know nothing about the hiring processes being employed in most of the IT industry these days.
H1-Bs, mostly Indians, dominate the IT recruiting industry from coast to coast. They are not doing IT work. What they are doing is preventing American citizens from getting employed in the IT jobs.
Indian IT recruiters from all over the country collect resumes belonging to American citizens, then blast those resumes at every IT job that opens up in any particular area.
If a business receives resumes from more than one source per applicant, the business MUST toss that person's application aside, or else they face litigation, because the Indian recruiter's firm will demand a cut of the American's earnings. This hideous practice eliminates every American from almost every IT opening, and most of the American applicants don't even know that their information is being submitted by the Indian recruiters. They just never get any replies from the hiring companies.
The hiring managers complain on job forums, such as Indeed.com, that some applicants apply for the same job 14 times. They can't figure out what is happening either.
That's just one of the dirty tricks employed by Indians in the US IT industry to displace American citizens. Once in a job, Indians hire only Indians. None of them, nor their skills, are superior to those of American citizen IT workers, but American citizens don't get a shot at any of those jobs.
The H1-B and other high tech visa programs should be abolished completely, and every Indian visa worker holder sent back to India.
I can assure you, that is not how our company functions. What you’re talking about is extortion which is illegal.
It has become very hard to get an H1B. It’s very hard to hire H1B’s because they need sponsors and the process takes longer than their limit to work. If you can avoid it, don’t hire an H1B right now. They only have one lady processing H1B’s in DC and she is in hospice care. S...L...O...W
My guess is that companies will go off-shore again. They didn’t learn their lesson the last time.
What makes you think INdian recruare here stateside?
Magic jack can provide a phone line anywhere.
And yes, these Indian IT recruiting hucksters are absolutely useless.
That is exactly what happens when a business hires illegals. The illegals get into hiring positions and won't hire anyone except other illegals- often relatives and friends. When the number of illegals gets to a certain point they will play dirty tricks and bully citizen workers. The owner of the business thinks he is doing great because it saves him money. His hiring people assure owners no citizens want the jobs to sooth any qualms they may have. Citizens will often not even apply at those companies because they know they won't be hired and if they are hired the other employees will make sure they can't stay. I have seen that play out in construction all the way back to the late 1970s and still today though I hear the tide is turning.
Businesses that do not participate have to compete with those that do play the game, which often means they go out of business if they don't do the same to keep thier wages down. Wages for all the jobs where this is happening stay low for everyone because of this practice.
