"The demands for tech talent are growing so fast due to AI that no existing visa program can be a standalone solution. Globally, three of four IT employers say they lack the tech talent they need, and the outlook will only get more dire as AI creates a demand for high-skilled specialists like data engineers, senior architects, and agentic orchestrators."
"Visa programs aren't designed by the laws of supply and demand. They're defined by policy makers and are updated infrequently. So, they'll never truly be in sync with the needs of the labor market. For companies to find the tech talent they need, they need to look at the whole world as their hiring pool. Companies need to look beyond the US and beyond certain visa types."
H-1B visa cost increases are prompting companies to change hiring practices. Visa programs are policy-driven and updated infrequently, so they lag market demand. AI is rapidly increasing need for specialists such as data engineers, senior architects, and agentic orchestrators. Borderless talent models provide access to skilled workers across more than 135 countries and private marketplaces enable firms to select experts for technical and AI projects. Remote hiring reduces dependence on limited visa categories and improves flexibility, efficiency, and scalability. Companies must expand hiring pools beyond the US and traditional visa types to meet accelerating talent needs.
