Why is it so hard to find a job now? Enter Ghost Jobs

My bet is that companies are hiring H1Bs but must post jobs. I literally dont see americans getting hired at well known tech companies

To be fair, the amount of good job applicants from america is also really low.

It's not a great argument, but it's the same with DEI. I literally don't have enough applicants to fill a quota even if 100% of them passed all interviews

I run interviewing at a well known company, this isnt true

My wife a couple years ago was at a cyber security company that had very generous referral bonuses. Multiple members of senior management in her company were laying off talented and hard-working American citizens on the justification that they needed to downsize. But then just months later they would change their tune and fill the vacated positions with friends or acquaintances (always non-American citizens), they would also collect a generous referral bonus (often $20k or more). I'm not sure if this was purely to collect the bonus, because of ethnic preference or a desire to help their friends/family migrate from India but something strange was certainly going on. My wife eventually was part of one of these cycles of layoffs "because of the financials" then later heard from a colleague still working there that her manager had shortly afterwards backfilled her position with a referral of his own. Last we heard it sounded like the company was approaching bankruptcy.

Most companies aren't well known, what makes you think your experience is the "true" one?

You mean to say you get a large amount of high quality American candidates?

Theres like a million well qualified applicants, they arent getting hired. go read any jobs forum, people are struggling

Yes, there are more candidates to choose from today than 5 years ago, but that just leaves more candidates. The hiring bar is higher, but the proportion of good Americans doesn't get higher.

Sure you can get a better American today than 2019, but you're comparing any one candidate to their competition and the company bar. If you want to deliberately hire Americans who interview worse than non Americans, you're breaking the law

I wish people would be aware enough to report behavior like this to authorities. With the new admin coming in, it's probably too late (the deportations will only be for people they and the rest of the Old Boys' Club can't exploit).

>If you want to deliberately hire Americans who interview worse than non Americans, you're breaking the law

LOL I'm gonna need a source for this gem

>If you want to deliberately hire Americans who interview worse than non Americans, you're breaking the law

This is an absurd claim.
