What does the recruitment report need to contain under the PERM rules?
As in the current rules, employers are required to document recruiting results in a recruiting report. The abbreviated recruiting reports permitted under the RIR regulations will no longer be permitted. The reports currently required in Traditional Labor Certification cases are closer to the new system. Employers under PERM will need to prepare an onerous recruiting report that describes recruitment steps undertaken and the result achieved, the number of hires and, if applicable, the number of US workers rejected, categorized by lawful job related reasons for such rejections. The DOL, after reviewing the employer’s recruitment report, may request the US workers’ resumes or applications, sorted by the reasons the workers were rejected.
