To be clear, “US Only” means “eligible to work in the US”.

The candidates that I’m calling fraudulent are answering “Yes” to a question on our applicant form asking if they’re eligible to work in the US.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a US company wanting to hire US employees.

(FWIW I also hire contract developers outside the US… have nothing against outsourcing, but I prefer to do so knowingly rather than being conned)

The dumb thing is that a lot (and I do mean a lot) of hiring platforms ask this question even when the job is advertized as not being in the US. It's hard to take seriously anymore.
