r/AmericanTechWorkers

So I created my own r/recruitinghellnoindia, where the recruiters are shady, the job postings are fake, and somehow you’re the assh*le for pointing it out.

Got mass reported for criticizing certain ethnic recruiters? Had your post removed because it made someone uncomfortable? Constantly dealing with spam, resume harvesting, fake urgency, ghosting, bait and switch jobs, or recruiters who seem to have discovered a completely different definition of “professionalism”?

Come vent. Name the agencies. Share the screenshots. Compare notes. Document the bullshit.

I am tired of nowhere on Reddit being a safe space to talk openly about how bad the tech industry is and how horrible applying to jobs is. Even this sub isn’t safe. I have to make up workarounds just to post freely here.

So many people seem to think national origin discrimination means you can't prefer US citizens over non-citizens. But actually that's a misconception.

INA § 274B(a)(4), codified at 8 U.S.C. § 1324b(a)(4) explicitly allows employers to prefer equally qualified U.S. citizens or nationals over noncitizens when hiring:

>"Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, it is not an unfair immigration-related employment practice for a person or other entity to prefer to hire, recruit, or refer an individual who is a citizen or national of the United States over another individual who is an alien if the two individuals are equally qualified.”
