Boundless Talent Consulting Services by Theresa Klein
The high tech industry in the US suffers from a shortage of American born engineers and scientists. Unfortunately, demand for technology workers under programs such as the H1-B visa, greatly exceeds numerical limits. In addition, processing times for work visas often extend from several months to years, depending on the type of visa. This difficulty in obtaining visas for workers causes costly delays which seriously impact the bottom line of American technology firms. This enterprise aims to facilitate the resolution of this problem through a unique solution: the hosting of foreign technology workers on offshore platforms near major technology centers.
We will allow companies to contract with us to hire workers as consultants through our company, working on an offshore platform during the time they await an H1-B or other visa. During this period of time, the proximity of the platform to the workplace will facilitate travel and work coordination. Supervisors can commute out to the platform on a regular basis, while the worker occasionally travels in on temporary three-day business visas. This reduces travel expenses for US based firms, facilitates communication and project management, and allows the employee to begin working immediately.
