Especially late in the night and in the morning
Hi, would you be interested in dropping everything and moving to Salem OR for a super exciting 2 month contract? No relocation or housing benefits provided.
"Strictly only Green card or US citizen"
Because you look like prime consultant material
Answer for both is that they are cheap, cheap and need to get work done cheap . They will say they canโt get anyone local to do that work and then ship the job either offshore or issue someone a visa to do this at half the salary. Old ways of doing business
I immediately mark it as Spam. Over a period of time, these nonsense emails die off. As far as the Indian part, there's a state in India notorious for fraudulent activities. All these consultants and their cronies come from there. ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
A lot of recruitment process can be done by people working from home, that means bunch of it is being done by people in India.
I am not sure about your case, but I will tell you mine. I was flooded with Indian consultancy recruiters before, almost worked for them. They will fake your resume (put 5 years of exp, even if you have none), train you to pass the interview and take a big percentage from your paycheck.
Tired of these threads bashing Indians. People feel entitled just because of virtue of being born in a Developed country. People don't realise it's directly or Indirectly US (or other developed economies) companies doing that. Don't shoot the messenger. Who's the end employer for whom they are hiring those contractors? Why don't you start by asking your respective companies to boycott Indian recruiters? They won't because they want cheap recruiters so they outsource the jobs to developing economies and hence benefitting both the parties involved.
Which is your actual question: 1) why is there a sudden influx of contract positions? 2) why are all the recruiters for said positions Indians?
Both
So, you don't want contract positions or don't want Indian recruiters to contact you ?
