This is How They Get Illegals In

October 12, 2008 by roland.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I subscribe to Indeed.com. Subscribe is probably not such a good word as I have a couple of search alerts set up which send email to me each day. For anyone who didn’t know how companies get away with bringing illegal aliens and other non-citizen workers into this country take a look at the following job opening. The billing rate being offered is less than 1/3 the standard consulting rate for the skills and years of experience they want. The ad will run for a few weeks, then you can bet your bottom dollar they will be bringing in someone on a vacation or H1 visa. There was no shortage of talent to fill this contract, just an unwillingness on the part of the company to pay prevailing wage. This is almost as bad as when Mastek got nailed for running an ad stating they wanted H1-B only.
