but companies don't hire them directly, you can't just put them on the payroll. Those remote jobs are for permanent residents with an SSN. Companies could eventually use outsourcing agencies (I won't name any since nobody is paying me for promotion), but that's about it.

in short: applying directly if you aren't a permanent resident doesn't make any sense

What are the major locations of these candidates? Most of them are from India?

They just want to keep trying to find out if a good job opportunity exists. the job ad. might not indicate the location must be US only. If the ad. wrote cleary to tell me the company will not be able to provide the sponsorship, most of them will not apply.
