Try to apply for one of those jobs. Most of the postings are formalities. They will not hire you if you apply. They will only hire H1B applicants. The postings are a ruse to make them eligible to hire the H1Bs.

Pardon me, but you make no sense.

First, there is no requirement that a corporation post a job on the internet in order to be able to hire an H-1B.

Second, I work for a tech company that needs high-end EEs right now. They will pay me a rather nice referal fee if I know somebody that meets the requirements, applies, and is ultimately hired. They don't care a bit about the color of the person's skin or their national origin. They care about what is between the person's ears and if it can help my company create leading edge products.

Or do you believe a company has to send emails promoting referal fees to its employees to be qualified to hire H-1Bs?

I think you are mistaken with respect to the requirements to hire an H1B. I worked at a company that wanted to hire a very talented Italian web designer. We had to jump through major hoops including advertising the job before we got permission to hire him. He was an H1B hire.

The job positions posted on the Qualcomm site in 2001 were present for the specific purpose of satisfying the requirement to attempt to hire an American citizen for the job before being permitted to hire an H1B.

My company is offering nice referral fees for finding good quality employees too. Most of the positions are only open to a U.S. citizen who can acquire a Secret or better clearance. We value the opportunity to include talented employees from around the globe, thus we have offices all over the world. The most recent offices have been opened in India.

My current project includes a subcontractor whose employees are nearly 100% Indian. The guys are brilliant. They work from an office in Chicago. The only complexity with these guys is finding a restaurant that caters to the varied dietary proclivities of our project team.
