There is no such a thing shortage of IT workers. These companies (google, facebook…)claim shortage of talents because they always want top ones (at least with the standard they think). As far as there are better quality foreigner workers they always claim shortage.
- pjscott 13y agoSo there's a shortage of good IT workers. Your point?
- mjn 13y agoPretty much by definition, though. They don't have an objective quality standard, but a relative one.
- icn2 13y agoNo shortage of good IT workers as well. My point is it doesn't matter how good local workers are. As far as there are better (their standard) foreign workers they claim there is a shortage because they want top ones.
- jlgreco 13y agoSo suppose, purely hypothetically I assure you, that I'm an engineer that does technical interviews. What is going on, is HR filtering out all the good domestic talent and making me waste my time interviewing crappy candidates that they know won't make the cut just so that they can hire abroad? If there is an abundance of qualified unemployed domestic talent then why can't I, the employed engineer, find some of that talent to recommend so that I can collect some of those juicy bonuses? Or am I hypothetically in on this conspiracy to discriminate against domestic talent as well? Maybe there is something simpler going on. Maybe most candidates really do suck.
- UK-AL 13y agoTheres a shortage of good everything. If there wasn't a shortage it would not be good.
