I wasn't trying to imply that all countries have similar expectations of resume format and length. I was just saying that if all the resumes from recruiting firms are atypically long, it's probably the recruiting firm that is responsible. It's not because they employ people on visa or anything like that.

I'm an immigrant to the US, and in my home country resumes are all really long. Even people who have never had a job and just finished their bachelors somehow find a way to have 5 page resumes. I think immigrants to the US in IT/Tech roles figure out fairly quickly that they need to drastically reduce the lengths of the resumes.
