US Guide To Hiring Foreign Workers

Hiring a foreign worker isn't guaranteed and it may take longer. But you may be better off in the long run. One of my first jobs ever was as an immigration officer so maybe it was just me, but I loved this demystification of rules for hiring foreign talent. This is American content though - I'll find someone Canadian soon. I spoke with an immigration attorney, Sergio Athanasso, of Sergio Law. He specializes in helping organizations with their foreign recruitment and gave us a bunch of tips on how to navigate international hiring. Key highlights include: 1. 🌎 Understand the various visa categories and their qualifications: TN, L1, E2, O1, H1B. 2. ⏱️ You need to plan ahead with foreign recruitment, but sometimes maybe not as long as you thought. 3. 📚 For anything other than hiring a Canadian, you may want to secure an immigration lawyer. And maybe even with hiring Canadians. So if you are American HR - or someone going to work in the States, check this out! It might not be as bad as you thought!
