The 'there are no qualified applicants' sounds like the same shit I used to hear concerning why there were so damn many foreign software engineers around. Not that the foreign ones are bad since I used to teach a lot of them. The South Koreans and the Taiwanese were smart, polite and respectful. If the Japanese showed up along with their boss they would sit there like stone Buddhas, you could not get a question out of them. The Chinese one I was unfortunate to have was simply a spoiled brat, probably the one child law.
