Innovative Automations

Compensation

Full Description

About the job " You've seen it happen too many times. Your best AI/ML candidates get rejected in the H-1B lottery. Your employer clients want top-tier talent but refuse to touch sponsorship. Senior engineers at FAANG companies are one layoff away from a 60-day visa countdown. And you know the H-1B system is fundamentally broken - 85% rejection rates, salary floors pricing out startups, single-employer dependency that kills career flexibility. We've built the alternative. Innovative Automations (www.innovativeautomations.dev) is an AI automation and talent solutions company. We've been filing O-1 visa petitions for world champions and Olympic athletes for years (www.sherrodsportsvisas.com) - now we're applying that expertise to computer scientists and AI/ML professionals. How it works: We file agent-based O-1 petitions. Unlike H-1B, this structure allows approved professionals to work for multiple employers simultaneously. No lottery. No single-employer lock-in. No sponsorship burden on the hiring company. This isn't theoretical - we have a 94% approval rate and we're processing cases right now. What we need from a senior partner: You have an established book of business - deep relationships with US tech companies, staffing agencies, or consulting firms. You've been in technical recruiting long enough to know where the bodies are buried and how deals actually get done. You can identify O-1-ready talent - senior engineers with demonstrable achievements (publications, patents, leadership, high-impact work). You know the difference between a solid mid-level engineer and someone who can credibly claim extraordinary ability. You understand how to position alternatives - you've had the "we don't sponsor" conversation with employers 100 times and you're ready to offer them something better. What's in it for you: • Revenue sharing on successful visa approvals and placements • Strategic partnership - you help build this channel, not just execute someone else's playbook • Remote flexibility - work from Charlotte or anywhere, manage your own schedule • First access to our pre-vetted candidate pool (FAANG-level, algorithmically scored) • Leverage existing relationships - no cold outreach required if you already have the network • The ideal senior partner: • 3-5+ years in technical recruiting (preferably AI/ML, computer science, or deployment-focused roles) • Proven track record of placements or client relationships in US tech ecosystem • Strategic mindset - you can see how this model disrupts traditional staffing and want to be early • Understanding of visa landscape - H-1B pain points, alternatives, regulatory changes • Self-directed - you don't need hand-holding, you need a compelling product to sell Location: Raliegh or Charlotte, NC preferred - Remote work supported Must-have qualifications: • 3-5+ years technical recruiting experience, especially in computer science and AI/ML • Established relationships with US tech companies or staffing firms • Proven track record of successful placements or business development • Based in NC area or willing to work US East Coast hours remotely • Preferred qualifications: • Experience with visa sponsorship issues (H-1B, O-1, PERM, etc.) • Existing book of business or portable client relationships • Understanding that traditional employment sponsorship is increasingly broken • Entrepreneurial mindset and comfort with performance-based compensation Learn more: www.innovativeautomations.dev DM or apply if you have the network and the track record.
