> US-only remote roles.
The entire premise of remote is that it shouldn't matter where you work from, as long as you get the work done. This is extremely, incredibly harmful. I hope you know that.

The candidates that I’m calling fraudulent are answering “Yes” to a question on our applicant form asking if they’re eligible to work in the US.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a US company wanting to hire US employees.
(FWIW I also hire contract developers outside the US… have nothing against outsourcing, but I prefer to do so knowingly rather than being conned)
The dumb thing is that a lot (and I do mean a lot) of hiring platforms ask this question even when the job is advertized as not being in the US. It's hard to take seriously anymore.
Some companies have an established process to handle the different requirements of a global workforce, and for them hiring one more person from country X doesn't cause any issues; but if your HR, legal and accounting is set up for domestic operations, then hiring a foreign employee may easily add so much overhead that it's not worth the hassle.
Yes, it is. It's even hard for a US citizen like me to find jobs that don't require some proof of citizenship that I don't have. IDs cost money here, money that I don't have because I can't get a job, because they want my ID.
