[quote=DWCAP]Sounds more like a budgeting/expecations problem than a talent problem. [/quote]
I completely agree with this. Also, the conclusion was drawn too fast on US/foreign candidate quality. For one thing, if you pay them US wages, it will be several times their local wages. I’m sure you can persuade some people to join the company if you also pay several times the local wages here. Next, I don’t think you can rely on recruit’s recommendation when it comes to hiring foreign candidates, just like you don’t rely on a buyer agent’s recommendation on the house value. It is said that s many as one-third of all resume writers exaggerate their accomplishments, while up to 10 percent “seriously misrepresent” their background or work histories.
