PERM Recruitment Channel Parity: Defending Sponsoring Employers Against IER Penalties and DOL Debarment

Join Mayer Brown partners in this session on PERM Recruitment Channel Parity: Defending Sponsoring Employers Against IER Penalties and DOL Debarment. This program examines compliance risks in the PERM recruitment process, with a focus on maintaining consistency across recruitment channels and avoiding practices that could be viewed as discriminatory. It also addresses potential enforcement consequences under federal immigration and employment law, including penalties and debarment, and provides practical guidance for employers and counsel on developing defensible recruitment practices.

Two sessions will generate valuable work product: the first 30 days and the parity production built before any raw file goes out, then intake rebuilt so PERM roles run through the same career site, ATS, screener, and response time as standard hiring. Attendees leave with a response checklist, an exposure matrix, a channel-parity audit worksheet, model posting language, and a decision tree for holding, withdrawing, or re-filing against roughly 336-day queues.

CLE credit is pending.
