Forgot to mention 'give them internships and then have them do the work of a full time employee'.
That seems to be a common 'trick' by sleazous companies as well. Internships seem to be much more about saving money than actually teaching anyone anything.
In the UK/EU, there's also the 'hire employers from poorer parts of the continent' thing. Yeah, I know, probably not politically correct to say that, but I've definitely seen companies offering far lower than market rate wages for programming, and then filling vacancies with people from areas where that is seen as 'normal' (plus those who are massively inexperienced/don't look around much).
