I have to recant my earlier statement. My candidate was not an H1B. I spoke too soon with faulty memory. He's a permanent resident alien.
All I did was put an ad up on monster.com, review about two hundred resumes, and his floated quickly to the top. I interviewed ten candidates and he was head and shoulders above the others. In his case it wasn't even about the money. I actually offered him more than we had advertised to allow for his higher level of experience.
I think that America is strongest when the best people are hired to do the best work.
Thanks for your honesty
