Reverse Brain-Drain?
From: Inc.com
A lack of work visas for skilled immigrants could result in a reverse brain-drain and a subsequent decline in U.S. competitiveness, a new study shows.
As a result of a growing backlog of visas, roughly one in five new legal immigrants and one in three employment-based legal immigrants are planning to leave the United States or are uncertain about the future, according to a joint study by researchers at Duke, Harvard, and New York universities. Every year, about one million scientists, engineers, doctors, researchers, and other skilled immigrant workers compete for 120,000 permanent U.S. resident visas.

Corra hears all the stories about how the immigrants are taking American jobs away? But what about the smart, skilled and talented immigrants who are needed to fill gaps on high level and professional levels? Let’s face it, for America to move forward it is in need of skilled and highly educated employees. Some of them will be person educated here but from foreign countries.
As it is with domestic candidates, it is important to run a pre-employment screening check on foreign candidates. If your candidates have been educated here and have lived in the US for a long time, often the domestic criminal and education background searches will suffice. If they were educated abroad or have only immigrated to the US then it will be necessary to conduct International background searches as well.
Corra supplies International background searches, including criminal, education and employment verifications. It’s a smart move to run these background checks. And cost effective.
