VISAS
What Is Visa?
Types of VISAS
Visas are mainly classified into two major categories
• Immigrant Visa
• Non immigrant Visa
Immigrant VISA
Immigrant Visa are for people who intend to live permanently in US.
Non-immigrant VISA
Non immigrant Visa's are for those people with permanent residence outside US
but wish to be in
US for a temporary basis- for tourism, medical treatment, business, temporary work or
study.
H4- Dependent
B1/B2- Business/Tourist VISA: Business travelers can enter US using this VISA.
J1: Basically provided for someone from home country to US for training which should
be useful to the home country.
1099
W2
1099: When a person is paid in the form of 1099, all money earned by the individual is
paid on an untaxed basis. It is then the responsibility of the individual to file and pay the
appropriate taxes.
W2: when a person is paid in the form of W2, the employer automatically withholds and
pays all of thenecessary taxes as required. These taxes include Federal income Tax, State
income Tax, Social securityand Medicare Tax.
Permanent Placement: The company hires person on permanent (Long term) basis.
Company has to provide salary, all kinds of placements.
Contract placement is little different from permanent placement. The major difference
between both of them is the duration or the time.
Companies are using more and more contractors for many reasons. Major reasons are
• Staffing Flexibility
• Get around budget constraints
• Need to keep the permanent Headcount down
• No hassles at the end of assignment
• Hire for a specific purpose or project
• Immediate Availability
• Try before you buy
• Lower costs
• Avoid office politics
In today's competitive world contracting has become more and more prevalent
among candidates.

Closure
After sourcing the resume and discussing it with the consultant, the recruiter can go
ahead and ge his resume submitted to the Client.
Once the resume is short listed, arrange for the interview with the client and if he is
appointed then that adds up to a closure and the recruiter makes an incentive of it.
Vendor Management
Vendors,
Recruitment Process
Recruitment Process starts when a client has a job position and need to fill that position.
Requirements
Types of Requirement
Contract: Contract position come for fixed timeframe or contract plus extension.
Anyone can work on
Fulltime Permanent: Fulltime positions are direct hire positions. Only US Citizens,
Green Card Holder,
TN Visa Holder are eligible for Fulltime position unless client is ready to process the
H1B.
Sourcing
Job boards: Job Boards are used for both resume searching and requirement posting.
Job boards mainly helps us in sourcing resumes for CTH and Fulltime positions apart
from contract jobs. (We have accounts with Dice, Monster and Career Builder). There are
few other free job boards like Corp2Corp.com, nextjob.us etc.
Vendors/Suppliers: These are the companies who market their own W2’s most of the
time. We usually mass mail these vendors with the requirement and they in turn will
reply with resumes of their consultants.
Internal Database: All the resumes we get from job boards search, vendors, and other
sources will form our internal database for future reference.
References: When we speak to a consultant about a particular requirement and if they
are not interested in that position; on request they will provide the references of their
friend/colleagues for the same position.
Google/Yahoo Groups: Entire world has access to these groups so our chances of
getting a resume will be high. We should identify technology specific groups or location
specific groups and register with those groups and then we can send our requirement.
Technology Forums: Technology forum is the place where consultants will answer each
other queries. We should register and can send requirement, if interested they will reply
back.
Networking Websites: Networking websites like LinkedIn are also possible source of
recruiting References, Tech Forums, Networking websites are a very good source of
finding passive candidates
Screening
Resume Screening: At this time you should compare the resume with the requirement
and check whether all the required skills are present in the resume or not. If the
consultant worked on one particular skill which is a must have for the requirement and
failed to mention then we should ask him to update.
Telephonic Screening: We should give a brief of the job description; required skills
etc… and check with him on the same. While talking to him you should evaluate him on
his communication skill, relevant experience, confidence level, willingness to take the
position.
Technical Evaluation: Should technically evaluate them by asking technical question.
We can get lot of interview question form web.
Submission
Rate Negotiation: The Need of rate negotiation comes in to picture when we have less
rate cap from the client, when we have to maintain minimum/good margin for the our
company and when we have to give them the rate they actually deserve (rate
justification)
Formatting: Formatting meaning maintaining uniformity in font, its size, etc… Should
put company Logo on the Header. We use Verdana 10 as standard font and size.

• Interview
Telephonic Interview: Most of the companies will ask for Telephonic interview as
screening and take a decision or may also call for Face to Face to take final decision.
In person interview: Few companies call directly (without telephonic screening) for
Face to Face interview which will be first and final round.
Interview over the Bridge: We should encourage interview over the bridge if possible.
By doing so we will get to know interview questions
