American companies plan to hire more workers from abroad

A recent study reveals that American and US-based companies want and plan to hire foreign workers now more than ever.

To understand the opinion of local companies, the study included more than 500 human resources (HR) professionals across the US, who explain that international talent is absolutely vital now in times of crisis to keep the national and regional economy afloat.

In fact, the study shows that there is greater interest in hiring foreign workers in 2021 than in 2020 and even years prior to the global Coronavirus pandemic.

Let’s look at some of the key findings:

• 59% of HR professionals expect the number of foreign workers to increase in their companies. This represents a 6% increase compared to 2020.
• 92% of HR professionals think the demand for foreign workers will increase between 2021 and 2022.
• Employment-based Green Card sponsorship, which grants legal permanent residency, increased 71% in 2021 compared to 2020.

Business immigration levels decreased due to health care crisis

This growing demand for foreign workers was present even before the global Coronavirus pandemic, when companies in sectors such as science and technology were already facing a rather alarming shortage of skilled workforce.

However, the situation worsened in the midst of the health crisis, when former President Trump’s administration restricted business immigration almost completely and even suspended the issuance of H-1B visas for high qualified foreign workers.

As a result, business immigration levels declined even further in the midst of the health crisis and this was just when the country and local businesses needed the presence of foreign workers more than ever.

Obstacles companies face in hiring foreign talent

Now that local companies are planning to hire more workers from abroad, they are hoping to overcome certain obstacles. For instance:

• The backlog of immigration cases across the US that lengthens waiting times.
• The incentive by governments to adopt a remote work environment.
• Bureaucratic hurdles and restrictive policies implemented by the previous administration on most business immigration processes.

Despite these barriers, local companies are hoping that the new administration will improve conditions to be able to hire highly skilled foreign workers and meet local market demands.
