PERM Recruitment & Documentation Support

Take PERM's Advertising & Paperwork Off Your Plate.

PERM means weeks of advertising across newspapers, job boards, and state agencies, a strict deadline sequence you can't miss, and a stack of tearsheets, confirmations, and records to assemble into a clean case file. We're the team that does this every day — we know the compliant publications for your market, we manage the timing rules step by step, and we build the file the way the record should be kept. You get all of it off your plate and done right the first time, while you and your counsel keep every decision that's yours.

The Difference

Done In-House vs. Done by the International Evaluations Team

The work isn't hard because the law is complex — it's hard because it's a large, time-sensitive administrative job that has to be executed on schedule and documented completely. That's where an experienced team earns its keep.

Done In-House

Advertising squeezed in between everything else, or mistimed
Deadlines tracked informally and easy to miss
Ad wording drifting from the filed job description
Notice of Filing content or posting period incomplete
Records collected late, in pieces, or scattered across inboxes

Done by the International Evaluations Team

Advertising coordinated across every channel, on schedule
Every date tracked against the filing window for you
Consistent job description across all recruitment
Notice of Filing prepared to DOL content & posting requirements
Tearsheets, confirmations & records organized as they come in

You Stay in Control

You Keep the Decisions. We Carry the Workload.

The parts that need your judgment stay with you and your counsel. Everything else — the advertising, the deadlines, the document chase, the file assembly — is ours. That's the whole point of bringing us in: you offload the busywork without giving up any control.

You (Employer)

Own the recruitment and hiring. You define the job, review and evaluate your U.S. applicants, and make every qualification, interview, and hiring decision — as it should be.

Your Counsel

Owns the law — legal advice, strategy, legal sufficiency, and the filing decision. We support their work; we never step in front of it.

International Evaluations

Owns the administrative execution — advertising coordination, deadline tracking, document collection, record organization, and case-file assembly. The heavy lifting, handled.

You and your counsel make every decision that matters. We handle everything around them — accurately, on schedule, and fully documented.

What We Handle

Everything We Take Off Your Plate — Step by Step

One clear sequence, from the prevailing wage request to a ready-to-file case package. Here's the work at each stage — and how much of it we carry for you.

Prevailing Wage Request (ETA-9141)

Wage stage

A prevailing wage determination is obtained from the DOL for the role. Processing times vary; current times are at flag.dol.gov/processingtimes.

We handle it: preparing and submitting the ETA-9141 accurately the first time, using the job and occupational information you and your counsel approve.

Recruitment Plan & Calendar

Planning

The job and its requirements are set by you and your counsel, and the recruitment sequence has to fit the DOL timing window before filing.

We handle it: mapping and tracking the full recruitment calendar around those dates so every step lands on time — you never chase a deadline.

Advertising & Postings

Standard professional cases

For standard professional cases, recruitment typically includes two Sunday print newspaper ads in a newspaper of general circulation, an SWA job order, and an internal Notice of Filing. Specifics can vary by case.

We handle it: identifying the compliant publication for your market, placing the newspaper ads and SWA job order, preparing the Notice of Filing for posting, and collecting every tearsheet and confirmation as it comes in.

Additional Recruitment Steps

Professional positions

For standard professional positions, additional recruitment steps are typically chosen from the DOL-approved list — job boards, employer website, trade journals, campus recruiting, or job fairs — subject to the timing rules.

We handle it: running the additional channels you and your counsel approve, on the right schedule, and documenting each one for the record.

You Review Applicants — We Organize the Record

You decide

You review and evaluate the U.S. applicants and make every hiring decision. (For standard professional cases, one recruitment step may fall within 30 days before filing where permitted.)

We handle it: once you've completed your review, organizing your recruitment records and disposition information into the case file for you and your counsel. Applicant evaluation and hiring decisions stay yours — we never screen or decide.

Case File Assembled & Ready to File

Filed by you/counsel

The completed ETA-9089 is filed by you or your counsel, with the full recruitment record retained in case it's ever reviewed.

We handle it: assembling the complete record into one organized, audit-ready case file — built the way a PERM record should be kept — and delivered ready for your counsel's review and filing.

The Administrative Workload, Handled Alongside Your Counsel.

PERM generates a substantial operational and documentation workload — recruitment advertising, agency coordination, deadline management, evidence collection, record organization, and case-file assembly. That work is administrative in nature, and it is precisely what our team specializes in. We manage it end to end alongside your immigration counsel, so legal strategy and the filing decision stay where they belong while your firm or HR team is freed from the operational burden.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

What exactly does International Evaluations do on a PERM case?

−

We run the administrative side of PERM for you: preparing and submitting the prevailing wage request, coordinating all the recruitment advertising (newspapers, SWA job order, job boards, and additional steps), tracking every deadline in the window, collecting the tearsheets and confirmations, organizing the recruitment record, and assembling the audit-ready ETA-9089 case file. Your counsel handles the legal strategy and filing; you make the hiring decisions; we carry everything else.

Is PERM recruitment support a legal service?

No. The recruitment and documentation activities in PERM — advertising coordination, agency job orders, deadline management, evidence collection, and case-file assembly — are operational and administrative in nature rather than legal services. A specialized team can manage them alongside your immigration counsel, who retains responsibility for legal advice, case strategy, and the filing decision. This division of labor lets your firm or HR team offload the operational workload while the legal work stays entirely with counsel.

What is PERM labor certification and who needs it?

PERM (Program Electronic Review Management) is the U.S. Department of Labor's process an employer completes before sponsoring a foreign national for an EB-2 or EB-3 employment-based green card. The employer runs a genuine, documented recruitment effort to test the U.S. labor market for the role — Sunday print newspaper advertising, an SWA job order, an internal Notice of Filing, and additional recruitment steps for professional roles — all completed and documented before the ETA Form 9089 is filed with the DOL. That's the administrative work we take off your plate.

How much staff time does this actually save us?

A single PERM recruitment involves coordinating multiple advertising channels, tracking a sequence of hard deadlines, chasing tearsheets and confirmations, and assembling a complete case file — work that pulls paralegals or HR staff off their core jobs for dozens of hours per case. We absorb that entire load, so your team touches the case only where their judgment is actually needed.

Who reviews and evaluates the applicants — us or you?

You do. The employer reviews and evaluates U.S. worker applicants and makes all qualification, interview, and hiring decisions — that stays firmly with you. We don't screen applicants or make hiring calls. Once your review is done, we organize your recruitment records and disposition information into the case file for you and your counsel.

How long does the PERM process take?

The recruitment-and-documentation phase we run typically spans about 60–120 days, driven by the DOL timing windows rather than our pace. The full PERM process — including the prevailing wage determination and DOL adjudication of the ETA 9089 — takes considerably longer and shifts over time; current DOL processing times are at flag.dol.gov/processingtimes. Starting early helps, especially if the employee is in a status with a limited extension period.

Who pays for PERM advertising and recruitment costs?

Employers are responsible for the required PERM recruitment expenses, and those costs may not be shifted to the sponsored worker. Advertising costs vary by market — Sunday print ads in major metros can run $300–$1,500 each — so we coordinate the advertising and bill third-party costs at cost, with no markup.

What happens if the case is selected for a DOL audit?

An audit is a normal part of the PERM program — the DOL may ask to see the recruitment documentation. Because we build the file to be complete and organized from day one, we can quickly pull together and prepare the requested records for you and your counsel, so the documentation clearly reflects what actually happened. Our Audit Documentation Support package covers exactly this; legal analysis and the formal response stay with your counsel.

Do we still need our own immigration attorney?

Yes — and we're designed to work alongside them. Your attorney handles legal strategy, legal sufficiency, and the filing decision, while we handle the advertising, deadlines, documentation, and case-file assembly that would otherwise consume significant staff time. Many attorneys engage us precisely so their team isn't running the recruitment and documentation process on every case.

Are there employment-based categories that don't require PERM?

Yes — certain classifications, including EB-1A and some EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) petitions, don't require PERM labor certification. Whether someone qualifies for another category is a question for qualified immigration counsel. If a PERM-exempt path is in play, we can support it with credential evaluations, expert opinion letters, and other documentation services.
