[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work there and in Herndon. I'd say 90% of the IT or technical functions (in the Finance area) are Indian employees or contractors. I have no idea if they are on HB1 or do I care. The majority of people are nice and professional. I would think if you were qualified, you would be considered no matter what your nationality . I've hired for technical positions and the majority, if not all, resumes are from Indian applicants.[b] If no other nationality applies, that's nothing FNM or the hiring manager can do[/b]. [/quote]
That statement is false.
The fact is that Indian hiring managers will screen out  all non-indian candidates although many of them are better qualified. They do have an agenda of dominating IT industry and have made certain degree of success so far by playing unfair and dirty tricks. Sad that main stream media  is not paying attention to this.[/quote]

I am an IT hiring manager at Freddie Mac. I am a white female. The only decent contractors we get at the rates we can afford for low-level tech positions tend to be recent Indian immigrants. Citizenship/visa status varies. The only conspiracy is that we can't afford the rates of big name consulting/body shop firms. These are the only people with skills who are willing to accept the rates. More senior tech and manager-level+ positions are different though - much more diverse. [/quote]

since you are an IT hiring manager at Freddie, you know that you guys do not make the decisions.

But it sure would be nice if rather than talking about diversity you guys actually practiced it.  By my definition having key groups within IT that are 90% indians , south india at that, is NOT diversity.   Diversity means having different types of people, not all non-white people.

I thought there was a big push for diversity, why is it so easy for business side, yet ignored on the IT side ?[/quote]
