High-paying job openings at major U.S. companies are reportedly being funneled toward foreign applicants, leaving qualified American workers in the dark.
A new initiative, Jobs.Now, is aiming to change that by uncovering hidden Permanent Labor Certification (PERM) positions and making them accessible to domestic candidates.
The effort began after independent investigators identified patterns suggesting some employers post job listings in obscure locations online or minor Sunday print editions while omitting them from official career portals.
Jobs.Now contends this “dual-track recruiting” allows firms to meet Department of Labor requirements for PERM jobs while effectively reserving positions for foreign workers.
The group maintains that hiding these listings prevents American workers from accessing high-paying roles and creates a paper trail that can shield companies from regulatory scrutiny.
PERM certifications enable U.S. employers to hire foreign workers permanently if they can demonstrate that no qualified, willing, and available Americans are able to fill the role.
The Department of Labor designed the process to protect wages and working conditions for domestic employees.
Employers are required to post job advertisements in state workforce sites, internal company listings and at least two major newspapers to maintain transparency.
Jobs.Now emphasizes a mission to prioritize Americans for high-skilled positions.
“We think American workers are the greatest workers in the world, and we exist to make sure they get the chance to be considered for every job first!” the organization said in a social media post.
The platform aggregates hidden PERM postings nationwide, providing an accessible interface for domestic applicants and offering guidance on submitting applications directly to hiring teams.
Several high-profile tech firms have been flagged by Jobs.Now for allegedly circumventing standard hiring channels.
At Samsara, a multi-billion-dollar technology company, applicants were instructed to submit resumes directly to the immigration team rather than HR.
“Samsara recruiting has now reached out to us asking where we found the role, as they aren’t aware it exists,” the group said, citing what it calls evidence of “illegal dual-track recruiting.”
Pinterest also faced scrutiny for a Senior Tech Program Manager position reportedly paying $247,000 annually, which appeared only on a third-party website and not on its official career page.
Other major firms, including OpenAI and Instacart, allegedly posted job openings in newspapers such as the San Francisco Chronicle, directing applicants to global mobility or immigration departments instead of standard HR channels.
Since its launch, Jobs.Now has facilitated applications to over 35,000 positions at more than 1,000 companies, The Gateway Pundit reports.
The organization explains that the initiative began after observing employers allegedly bypassing labor laws, particularly for H-1B visas and other foreign worker programs.
“We were tired of seeing companies hire H-1Bs for ordinary jobs that Americans could do,” the group said.
Experts cited by Jobs.Now argue that by bypassing standard posting requirements, corporations can effectively exclude domestic workers from high-paying opportunities while maintaining the appearance of compliance with federal regulations.
“This system has been weaponized against American workers,” a Jobs.Now representative told Newsweek.
“Americans are not aware that major companies are routinely discriminating against them for the simple fact of being Americans in their own country.”
The Jobs.Now platform reflects growing concern among labor advocates about the accessibility of skilled jobs for domestic workers, particularly as tech and other high-growth industries increasingly rely on foreign labor programs.
Supporters say the effort represents a proactive step to restore fairness and transparency in the hiring process, giving Americans direct access to positions they are fully qualified to fill.
