So the solution is transfering them to triplebyte and then match them to a startup?
Who pays them in the meanwhile because I believe its illegal to be on H1b and not be employed (being paid)?
- Harj 11y agoThey wouldn't be transferred to us or spend any time unemployed. Once someone goes through our process, we become their advocate and find them startups they'd be a good match for. They don't have to leave their employer until they've found one willing to hire them, at which point they can begin the transfer process.
- anpk 11y agoIf you are acting as any recruiter, how exactly are you gaming the h1b system?
- singlow 11y agoBy improving the mobility of h1b holders and depleting the return on investment for the staffing agencies.
- anpk 11y agoI understand what they are attempting, but I guess I was more intrigued by the "gaming" part. Was hoping they found some loophole, but its not very interesting if they are acting as regular recruiters.
- chillydawg 11y agoI think triplebyte act as a standard recruiter in this case. Eg Dave moves from UK to US on a H1b woring for some body shop. Dave then applies to triplebyte saying "yo, I hate this gig, get me out". Triplebyte then shops his CV around to startups looking for people like Dave and once a match is found they take their usual 10-30% first year salary as fee, which should more than cover any H1B admin. At no point is Dave employed by triplebyte.
