Duration 6mo Contract to hire

Visas since its a contract to hire need a USC, GC/GC EAD but we can do CTC for the contract part

it depends on how many years of experience they have but send with 5 plus years. So somewhere close to that range

Interview: Not sure they didn't say...most clients do a video but they don't say ahead so not a way to know but that's the other reason to send locals. Again will likely be a video but we can't instruct the client they decide what they will do so candidate has to be prepared for anything
