If you have government contracts, which is the way SpaceX survives, the rule is you have to consider everyone for employment that can be employed. That means you have to consider refugees as long as they can be legally employed. You don’t have to employ them but you can’t exclude them due to their status.
Possibly an interesting catch-22 with regards to certain contracts’ requirements.
It means a whole lot of wasted time (on both sides) interviewing people for jobs they never had a real chance at getting
Why would a refugee or asylum seeker “never have a chance” at getting hired by a company like SpaceX? Seems like that is part of the problem, no?
I can’t tell if you are assuming immigrants apply for jobs they aren’t qualified for or implying that spaceX will not hire immigrants
I’m saying it’s common practice for companies in the US to “consider” candidates they have no intention of actually considering, because they already know who they want (or what ‘type’ of person they want) and that these are hoops companies jump through that don’t end up doing the things people expected the hoops to do.
Do you have to interview a person or just look at their resume to “consider” them?
Yeah, cos it would make sense to hire newly arrived individuals from potentially non-friendly countries.
Individuals from foreign nations would have their origin considered when they are processed for whatever level of secret clearance they needed to work on the government contact.
