TikTok's aggressive recruitment of Chinese employees amid U.S. national security concerns indicates a significant rise in H-1B applications, underlining the tension between American regulations and global talent acquisition.
Out of 1,089 approved H-1B hires for TikTok and ByteDance, 669 were from China, reflecting a 50% increase from the previous year, illustrating ongoing scrutiny over the app's links to China.
The US Data Security Division, which is tasked with safeguarding U.S. user data from foreign threats, saw 14 hires aimed at ensuring compliance with national security concerns.
Despite rising concerns from U.S. officials, TikTok’s hiring strategy emphasizes the necessity for skilled staff that are allegedly unavailable in the local workforce, intensifying the debate over foreign recruitment practices.
