U.S. immigration policy is exacerbating an already dire domestic talent shortage in the tech industry. America must embrace sweeping immigration policy reform to help bolster talent retention and attraction in the startup ecosystem, improve workforce diversity, and minimize the economic impact of the massive brain drain of foreign nationals seeking employment in other countries. Canada’s immigration policy, for example, makes international talent acquisition much easier for employers operating there. H-1B visa program limitations and policy challenges are hindering tech recruitment efforts and creating an innovation gap in America. There is great opportunity in building a tech economy through immigration, but only if the laws change. Join Jennifer Grundy-Young, TECNA CEO, and Tahmina Watson, a Seattle immigration lawyer, and best-selling author, for a discussion on the current state of the U.S. immigration system, immigration law insights, and tech recruitment challenges and solutions.
