It is not so much the HR managers but the guidelines and restrictions put on them regarding who, or when to hire.

I have heard that many companies have a quota of local people they need to employ and so this is when alot of expats or qualified people are not called or included in the process for job applications. It has been told that it can take months for many companies to contact potential employees and to get their contracts signed.

I understand the frustration of people not speaking english or understanding their roles/ requirements, however this does not just happen in HR but all jobs over here!!
