“We can’t find programmers, H1B or not.”
Sure you can. Get rid of the morons looking at resumes and try again. Most HR bimbos and manager can’t discern qualifications. They look for 20 purple squirrel qualifications and weed out 99.999% of applications instead of understanding a person has skills and can adapt.
That can’t be right, a person has to have 72 years of experience with Windows 10 to be qualified.
