Some pretty big changes on the H1B front. Do you think this will have a big effect on staffing plans in 2021?

H1 Denials at all time high:
"In the coming months, one should expect additional measures to make the process more challenging for employers and the foreign-born individuals they seek to hire."

Is this good for the US?

Interesting list w/skills I haven't seen on a list like this in ages. And "67% of IT managers said they want to expand their teams in areas such as security, cloud & BI, but 89% reported challenges in recruiting that talent."

If that is you DM me!

I've seen and heard Joe Rogan enough to be shocked by how realistic this AI voice simulation is...

Anyone know is this is easily achievable or is this hard to replicate?

2019 Data Predictions... this article talks about a 2017 survey of corporate executives by NewVantage that noted over 85% of firms have initiated programs to create a data-driven culture.
Do you think we're now past 90%?

One of the most encouraging stories I've read on automation - it feels like a big shift in US on thoughts around "up-skilling" employees... I hope the numbers stay the same in a downturn. Companies need to invest in their employees to keep the best around

The majority of hiring managers plan to use consultants in 2019. Reaching candidates with the right skills and time to hire are key pain points. If you know someone who is feeling this pain DM me - happy to see if we can help.
