I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and guess it's an MVP where they manually assess your skills.

Also, this is a YC company and it looks like this is a pivot or alternatively they're trying to find more candidates for clients, who then pay them a fee to sort out the visa?

How does 24 hours and no cost compare to the time and cost without this utility?

This is actually helpful on the employer side too. Makes initial conversations with potential hires easier because we both get a sense of whether it's worth investing more time into something that may not even be a possibility.

Or, in other words, how much will you deprive your own society of and contribute to American society, assuring our domination and your society's dependence and subjugation.

That's somewhat correct, although we have a bunch of stuff on the back-end that we're not quite ready to talk about yet :)

Not a pivot, just an experiment to see how people respond. Give it a whirl and let us/me know!

Super helpful analysis, both from an employer perspective and for the employee -- we need more transparency on this

How accurate is this information, ultimately? i.e:

- Are lawyer fees counted in?

- Different advertising expenses for having public ads up for position as per requirement of H1B petition process?

- Internal HR costs (which run large for larger corps)?

- What's the ultimate revenue model?
