from the how-many-jobs-do-we-need-to-lose dept.

I came across the following ad on Indeed.com for a software position (copied directly from the ad, including errors):

Please read this job description carefully.

Is it legal to limit a search to only H1B applicants? Do people see this often? Is it reasonable to expect a US applicant would be difficult to find? Or is it just no one would expect a US applicant to work for the mentioned salary in the Metro Boston area?

    I'm pretty sure there is someone in the middle - another recruiting agency, or maybe a crooked manager, there at Wells Fargo Bank - who is embezzling the travel funds.

    I find that theory to be far-fetched. A company as big as Wells Fargo is going to have a very well oiled system for expense reimbursement which is absolutely going to require receipts. That's a lot of forgery for a relatively small reward.

    There is definitely something scuzzy going on, but I think its much more likely somebody just screwed up.
