    I don’t know if I quite get what you are saying…
    You mean it from the perspective of a US based company?

      I think he’s saying it’s harder to get a work visa taking a job in IT, as the EU company would have to first prove that they couldn’t find a European citizen to take the job before they can start hiring foreigners.

      It hasn’t been my experience though, we hire lots of foreigners on work visas. Many from India and former Soviet countries especially.

        I’m not in a big corp so I can just assume:
        Do some countries require to proof local citizens are not worthy enough so you need to import work force from abroad?

            Kinda surprised because you read so much stories about outsourcing workforce to “3rd world” countries in Asia and Africa/S.America.

              Outsourcing generally means that you hire a (often foreign) consulting company to do your work for you, instead of having your own employees do it. That’s much different from getting an immigrant a work visa and having them work for you.

        Yeah, that’s what I was saying.

        In Spain we do have non-EU people, but oftentimes they come here, live in Spain “irregularly” at some point, and then manage to get residency through means other than an employer sponsoring them. That might not be the case everywhere though.
