I have very much been a victim of this menace having applied for many jobs in the past 2+ years and still searching. I fully endorse the survey results and comments associated with each survey. The issue is not just not all kinds of malpractices the recruiters do, it is also the Indian origin staff who in many companies have proliferated the talent acquisition positions in many large organizations and provide market intelligence to the IT companies back home. The deserving candidate resumes get trashed in the hiring process without any fear of accountability and traceability making the justification for off-shore recruitment. Likewise, if you look at the advisory departments of the big 6 like Delloite, PWC and others. They are dominated by Indians who provide market intelligence to the IT companies in India as well as promote Indian products and services. I have faced so many job rejections from different US corporations and decided to engage lawyers. But so far without success. I understand there are lawyers in the US that can pursue a "failure to hire lawsuit" but has to find one yet. If you can recommend me one would appreciate it.
This is the survey on Indian IT discrimination. This mini-site is broken down into just a few tabs.
