The H-1B Recruiting Game

 So happens an acquaintance went through this Beee Esss.  More than a couple of times.

Wauck found a post quoting a DM from a corporate headhunter.

...Just got a dm from someone who works in recruiting at one of big tech companies. He said it's internal policy within the team he works for to reserve roles for what they call “outside talent”.

They are not allowed to recruit Americans for these roles but must go through the motions of setting up interviews with Americans. He said he and his colleagues try to keep these calls short 10-15min or some of them just ghost the call completely.

They then work with an international recruiting firm out of India to fill these roles.

He said the purpose is budgetary in nature. Since they pay less to these H-1B hires they can keep talent costs low by allocating a certain amount of head count to these candidates.

He also said that the “talent shortage” narrative is false. They get an overwhelming amount of qualified American candidates. They are just not allowed to hire them.

If you're wondering why people are angry, try going through dozens of these fake interviews. Spending hrs preparing for each one just to not get a call back. Thats if the interviewer even has the decency to show.

They have no idea whats bubbling under the surface in this country. I've gotten hundreds more dms since posting this with people sharing the same or similar stories. A lot of people have reported this abuse to USCIS but it’s become clear they have no interest in investigating any of this. Criminal. USCIS needs to be reformed....

Happened to my acquaintance with both West Coast companies AND locals

And what's "bubbling under the surface" could turn out to be far uglier than a mere George Floyd event.
