I’ve seen very similar ads here in NJ, probably with the same outcome - job filled by H-1B with fake resume.
I live in San Antonio. There are over a thousand jobs available for people with moderate to experienced skills in IT, construction, project management and business. I apply for 5-10 jobs a week as a certified PMP. HR departments tell me I am either not experienced nor qualified to be a project manager.
Then they complain that they either cannot find qualified people for positions or qualified people are asking for too much money.
Many of the problems is that HR departments are useless. They rely on software that is not intuitive enough to understand the nuances of a resume. Instead of picking up a resume and reading it, they rely on keywords that the software will understand.
What happens then is department heads get all pissed off because they cannot find people and then they go out to offshore recruiting firms to bring in people that wouldn’t be scrutinized by the software.
I know this because I am both a victim of it as well as one who did it.
