Why We Don’t Hire Americans (Usually)

Sharing a true story here. A cousin of mine worked in Canada as a computer programmer years ago. She is average, not the genius type. So when her coworkers complained that she finished her work too quickly, giving them pressure, she was truly taken aback. So she found out that she actually had to put at least 40? 50% more time into her work. Just drag it out. There goes efficiency

"Talented people are going to cost something anywhere you go". Oh, thank you for saying that. I struggled to explain to an american that you can't hire IT experts for pennies. You still get what you pay for even in a cheap country.

Reasons one through five: we Americans are too expensive.

Hassle = Inefficiency= lost profit.... so I agree with Andrew.

Andrew waking my perception from the ‘American dream’ is my favourite part of this channel.

I have worked with Americans in the Middle East and will gladly work with them again if the opportunty presents itself.

We have occasionally hired an American who doesn't live in the US and understands what we do. We even offered Americans with international experience to apply here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biXIA41Hg6A For tips on hiring elsewhere, check out these videos from our Nomad Capitalist R&D channel: Top Countries for Hiring Talent in Asia - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8DL7EaqbP8 Top Countries to Hire Talent in Latin America - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyOgQ782kbU

Every time you call a call center for tech support or customer service and ask a representative a yes or no question, you get an Indian or Asian telling you (unintelligbly) their doctoral dissertation. Foreign hires should be for a company's foreign business. Once I called Dell and got a black representative in Texas- I felt like I had won powerball.

I’m American but absolutely willing to relocate to join such a team or create a complementary business in my specific field which has global impact. I’ve been over the fear of what’s outside the box for years now.

The US income buys the cheap foreign cost, until it doesn’t anymore. Asia is low cost, until it’s not anymore. Remember “made in Japan” back in the 60s? We US workers were workaholics, until we weren’t. What killed our spirit is the inflation of the money supply, that became such a big problem in the 70s, and been a thorn in our side ever since.
