It's not a business transaction to make profit. Nothing is exported to benefit citizens of these countries, rather they're donating their resources.

Oh yeah? Thanks for your only comment after 1,861 days in HN.

This recruiter ignored me last month completely. He only responded until I posted this public comment on HN. He sent me a coding test, which I completed successfully as reported by the online testing platform. Few days passed without any feedback, so I sent him another email to remind him, and he replied with copypasta that I'm rejected.

He treats candidates with some sort of bias, rather than their skills. Don't waste your time.
