In the short term Companies will increase their US hiring to cope up for the short term until they get time to work things out. In the long term companies will go in the direction of flow of capitalism. If Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are smart and played their cards right by handing green cards to skillled people ; they will get a big chunk of the secret sauce by poaching the talent. If I understand correctly, you are asking if there can be an H1b transfer from company A to company B but still employed at company A. I think Yes as long as you inform your new employer so that they can withdraw the petition. This happens when you change your mind before resigning from your current role. Here in the US, when you are working on H1b with company A and get a job opportunity related to your skills (because H1b is for skilled labor), your new company B aka employer can file Labor Condition Application (LCA) and initiate the i-129 filing which is an H1b transfer. Once it is approved you are good to start working for company B. Once you start working for company B, your previous employer will revoke the petition he filed for you. Sometimes we can join a new employer with a receipt notice from USCIS but this is risky when your application gets denied, you will go out of status.
