The subject of work visas is one which is near and dear to the hearts of those in the SAP service.
There are a few different types of U.S. work visas that are commonly seen in the IT and SAP marketplace. Today we’ll be covering two.
The first type that is very common is the TN visa, which allows for the hiring of Canadian or Mexican citizens with a four-year degree in computer science. This type of visa is associated with NAFTA (The North American Free Trade Agreement.) This type is low-cost and simple.
Another very common visa is the H1B Visa. This type is very good for those not originally from North America but who want to stay and work long term. It’s very difficult to hire someone who doesn’t have a H1B visa as it is a very lengthy process. But if you aren’t legally prohibited from hiring outside of people with an H1B visa, you should definitely consider hiring those without it as it is a great opportunity for finding people with appropriate soft skills.
H1B visas help with retention, because candidates with this type of visa are very unlikely to want to move around.
An additional requirement is that during this time they must begin their Green Card process. So, if you are considering a candidate with an H1B visa be sure to ask about their status in that process as well.
There are many benefits to hiring an H1B candidate. H1B visas help with retention, because candidates with this type of visa are very unlikely to want to move around and will be more likely to take long-term positions.
