I'm curious why you get so many foreign educated applicants. Surely something is discouraging more people from applying.

Good question. The more I think about this, though, the more it makes sense. We only want temporary help so we use job shops. The job shops want to make the most money possible so they get the cheapest labor they can find. I have no idea why, but out of the 35 total applications we received, the large majority were from India.
So perhaps what we see is somewhat distorted based on a concentration of the lowest cost. The funny thing is we pay decent money even for Silicon Valley. One guy on my team makes 120/hour plus we pay for his weekly flights home plus food and lodging while he's on site.
