Trump said not to trust Vivek during the election season.
The whole H1B situation is exposing Vivek as a Pro India first guy.
JD's wife is Indian as well.
People are also mad at Elon as well.
Could this also be a white hat exposure operation?

80% of Vivek's post is correct - basically everything after the first paragraph.
But he's totally wrong starting out. Most companies aren't hiring foreigners because they're better, more educated or work harder. They're hiring them because they work for peanuts. There's a glut of experienced, high-quality, competent talent in engineering, IT, programming, etc but they can't even get interviews for open jobs.
Where are they? It took months ( more than 6) to find a couple of qualified mechanical engineers. Low application rate….
Most of the job boards are seeing hundreds and sometimes thousands of applications for technical positions. Where were they posted, how were they worded and what sort of ATS system did you filter the candidates through?
WIthout knowing, my primary suspicion would be an HR problem - either the job description was poorly written, poorly advertised, or the hiring system filtered out anyone remotely competent because the HR drone didnt't have a clue how to hire for a technical position.
Also if it's in-house or "hybrid", and doesn't absolutely need to be, you probably won't get any interest unless you reach the handful of people within an absurdly short radius of the facility. Nobody wants to commute for hours anymore now that they've tasted the alternative. And if the location isn't disclosed exactly so people know what they're getting into, most won't even bother to apply.
Your getting way to technical about job postings. And maybe the job seekers are too…. We posted in industry related publications and local newspapers etc. no services, no headhunters.. If you need a job go out and do it the old fashioned way. Hit the papers and hit the streets. Don't rely on tech to do an in person task!
Expect it to take months or years to find qualified people using your method, as you've discovered.
