I've been trying to grow my U.S. team for quiet some time but even six figure saleries don't generate a lot of response. Are these telecommuting positions? The problem with "telecommuting positions" is that if they want telecommuters, they want Indian, Chinese, or Eastern European telecommuters, or people willing to work for those types of wages. The cost is actually a very small factor in overseas hiring in the software industry. Our two main motivating factors are 1) we want a large pool to hire from, in the U.S. right now its very much an employees market, its hard for employeers to find "good" (not the high school kids that were hired during the internet bubble, real engineers with real engineering degrees) programmers to pick from and 2) Since a large amount of sales come from overseas its hard to explain to a foreign country or company why they should buy your product if you don't spend any money in their country (i.e. "why should I buy your product if you won't hire anyone from my country")? Its the same reason Boeing subs out the 777 all over the world, those country are customers too. BTW: The cost savings in India for programmers is all but totally gone. China will always have a small roll because of the extream language difference. Eastern Europe is probably going to see a large increase in technology hiring in the near term. -Robert, BS Computer Science, MBA, holder of 3 U.S. patents for software Robert, Let me guess... you are in a high-cost large city job market, right? I am an Electrical Engineer with 20 years of design experience in both hardware and software, and in Idaho I make $80K a year, which is pretty typical. Not many 6 figure salaries here. Plus, HP has been laying off so many people in Boise that there are lots of folks in the market for an engineering position. Not an employees market here! I wish it was! |
