With IT firms struggling to find quality and right number of professionals, a top American CEO has called for a “dramatic expansion” of the H-1B visa scheme - popular among Indian tech firms - to meet the growing demand.
“The entire Silicon Valley believes that the H-1B visa policy needs to be dramatically expanded,” Bill Coleman CEO of Veritas told PTI in an interview.
“We can’t hire enough good people. They are just not available here. The salaries here are going through the roof, because everybody is competing to hire from everybody else,” he said.
Coleman, a former chairman of Silicon Valley Leadership Group, is involved with the Silicon Valley for about 40 years.
Early this month, he became the CEO of Veritas, which has re-emerged as a newly-independent company after its purchase by The Carlyle Group for $7.4 billion on January 29.
