Hiring OPT students brings to a company an international talent pool without incurring an immediate obligation of visa sponsorship. To draw these students to the organization, it may post jobs on specific international student job boards, including OPTnation, or visit campus career fairs. Application process is the same as hiring U.S. citizens or permanent residents because the OPT student already has acquired work authorization for one to three years. The opportunity can be presented to include the potential for long-term roles, along with the possibility of visa sponsorships, as this is what OPT candidates look for in most opportunities. A better way to market your company would be by building a partnership with a university so you can go straight to graduating students. In general, OPT candidates offer both parties an opportunity that no one could refuse-a new, fresh talent combined with unique viewpoints.
