How we handle your application. A recruiter reads it — not a keyword filter. We will not submit you to this client, or any other, without your explicit approval for that specific role. Josh Pros is an equal opportunity employer and considers all qualified applicants without regard to citizenship or immigration status.
Before you apply anywhere — including here
Ask every firm these questions. We have already answered them.
Do you sponsor work authorization?
Yes, for consultants we employ on W-2 — H-1B transfers, extensions, amendments, and employment-based green cards.

You stay on payroll. For H-1B employees, paying the required wage during employer-caused downtime is a legal requirement, not a perk.

Yes, before you interview. If there is a prime vendor or MSP in the chain, you will know.
