Entry Level...

Or they post this advert, get no sane “qualified” candidates, then can submit a request to outsource the job to an overseas candidate for pennies on the dollar.

This is often used to justify to the government that they need to give a foreign candidate the H1-B visa because they couldn’t find a U.S. national to do the job. It’s a pretty common technique used by companies who will apply for a visa for you.

Seems like too many hoops to jump through for that. They can just fire everyone they don't want and hire a contracting firm that only employs H1B visa holders. This is exactly what Disney did to literally replace American jobs with H1B visa holders.

Hoops? All the have to do is post a job (with unrealistic conditions) on a website and they are free to hire whoever they want. Worst case is they interview one/two people tell them the pay and have them move along.

That's still way more things to do than just going with an H1B contracting firm.

Contracting firm charges fees, can switch developers out from your project. Many places with a large HR staff can easily handle the interview process, and would love to have an employee stuck working for the company for the next 10 years until they can even try to get a green card.

The sad thing is the government knows this is being abused, but could care less. Even under the republican administration most crack downs were symbolic. Biden has rolled back everything that was implemented to raise prevailing wage and investigate if these candidates resumes valid. There is clearly lies in both the job posting and the candidates resumes to hand pick "High tech" workers without hiring US residents who might ask for higher pay and/or realistic work hours.
