Employers tend to view graduates with foreign degrees as having better communication skills, independence, intellectual and exposed to a mix of cultures: the recipe for a perfect office employee.
Often foreign-degree holders, if they are seen as qualified enough, might be recruited at a more senior position.

Employers believe that a foreign degree helps change the way graduates look at things and broadens their horizons.
Companies tend to hire for skillsets that are generally not available locally. This could be related to new technology and new products not offered in public universities and the courses available in local institutions.
