Does needing visa sponsorship put you at a disadvantage?

Aug 19, 2021 5 Comments

Applying to US pm jobs from abroad I always put “no” when they ask “do you have the right to work in the country you’re applying to”. Never seem to hear back from them, yet when applying in my home country I get a lot of interviews. Realistically do US companies hire people who need Visa sponsorship at low levels?

I may be imagining this. Interested if anyone knows do recruiting systems filter out foreign applicants before they even get to recruiters or do recruiters just tend to ignore the foreign applicants/put to the bottom of the pile?

Would appreciate any tips on how to improve chances of getting interviews when applying as a foreign candidate who’d need sponsorship.
