Exploring H-1B Visa: Costs, requirements and alternatives to hire remote tech talent
H-1B Costs and Requirements
The H-1B costs and requirements for employers involve multiple fees and specific documentation. Employers must pay a basic filing fee of $460, an ACWIA fee ranging from $750 to $1,500 based on company size, a $500 fraud prevention fee, a $4,000 fee for larger companies under Public Law 114-113, and an optional premium processing fee of $2,805.
- File a Labor Condition Application (LCA) with the Department of Labor, ensuring:
- Payment of the prevailing wage
- No adverse effects on current employees' working conditions
- No ongoing strikes or lockouts
- Notification to current employees of the hiring intention - Submit Form I-129 to USCIS
- Prove the job is a specialty occupation requiring a bachelor's degree
- Demonstrate the foreign worker’s qualifications
H-1B Visa Challenges
The H-1B visa program, while popular, presents several challenges for employers:
The annual cap on H-1B visas presents a significant obstacle, often resulting in a lottery system that leaves many qualified candidates without visas.
The financial burden of sponsoring an H-1B visa, including legal fees and compliance costs, can be substantial, especially for smaller businesses.
The lengthy and uncertain processing times can disrupt hiring plans and project timelines.
Companies heavily reliant on H-1B visas face additional scrutiny and regulatory challenges.

How is Teilur Talent different from other tech recruiting companies in LATAM?
At Teilur Talent, we take a mission-focused approach to recruiting, ensuring that our candidates are aligned with your company's vision and goals. Unlike other tech recruiting companies in LATAM, who may focus solely on technical skills, we prioritize the cultural fit and dedication of our team members to your company. For this reason, we do not support project contractor or freelancer roles. Instead, we focus on fully devoted team members who will help you achieve long-term success.
How does Teilur Talent attract and retain the best talent compared to other companies?
At Teilur Talent, we offer our candidates competitive salaries that are 2x to 3x higher than what tech companies would pay locally. This allows us to attract top talent and retain highly motivated and loyal team members. Additionally, we focus on finding candidates whose values align with the purpose, vision, and mission of our clients. This approach ensures that our engineers and tech talent are not just coding and completing task rather, they become part of a greater purpose, which gives them meaning and helps us attract and retain the best talent.
What are the typical tech roles that Teilur Talent recruits for?
At Teilur Talent, we specialize in recruiting for a wide range of tech roles that are typically in high demand. These include positions such as DevOps engineers, AI Developers, QA analysts and engineers, back-end and front-end developers, data scientists, product managers, business developers, and technical sales positions. Essentially, we recruit for most roles that are needed in B2B and B2C tech-focused businesses.
What are Teilur Talent's fees and pricing structure?
At Teilur Talent, we believe in transparency. We charge a flat rate fee of 20% of what the client pays. This way, our clients know exactly what they are paying for and how much the candidate gets. As an example: If a client hires a software engineer for $60,000 per year ($5,000 per month), Teilur's monthly fee would be $1,000 (20% of $5,000). We don't believe in hidden fees or unwanted surprises, so we disclose all costs upfront to both candidates hired and companies. When exploring other alternatives, make sure they are transparent about their pricing. We believe this is paramount for the benefit of all parties involved in this new era of remote work.
What is the candidate screening process at Teilur Talent, and how do you ensure a good fit for my company?
At Teilur Talent, we take candidate screening very seriously. We use a multi-layered approach to find the best candidates for our clients, starting with screening thousands of candidates from our internal and proprietary networks. We leverage AI technology to assess whether a candidate matches the technical skills required for a given job opening. We also perform additional personal evaluations to ensure that the candidate has the soft skills, culture fit, and English language skills required to excel in their new role. Our rigorous screening process ensures that only the best candidates make it through to our clients, saving them time and helping them find the best talent for their teams.
