Meanwhile, earlier this month at Interop New York 2014 I had an interesting conversation with Eman Conde (a Wilmington, DE based CCIE Recruiter).
Here's what I learned:
Even though it's been almost 1½ years since Cisco CEO John Chambers promised at Cisco Live 2013 he would make a CCIE poaching decision within 6-months, well, Cisco's CCIEs continue to wait.
Eman also explained that the feeling among Cisco's channel partners is that the Cisco Talent Program is great for locating CCIEs who are in need of H-1B sponsorship or who have certs, but no experience; mostly unemployable in the USA.
But don't be discouraged, read for yourself how Cisco expertly rejects American workers for those Cisco jobs that are actually located within the United States.
