Is Google currently breaking the law in regards to immigration in your opinion? The story is that Google posts very general, vague job descriptions then puts them through a rigorous interview process, and only once qualified by a hiring committee, are they potentially matched with a team who then is allowed to extend the offer. However, a couple months ago Google paused hiring for a backlog of 'qualified' candidates that had passed the hiring committee (so, 'qualified' according to the job descriptions) but not yet found a team. Wouldn't this be breaking the PERM law if they offer any candidates a job needing sponsor when there are hundreds of permanent residents that have already been 'qualified' in their pipeline available for immediate hire?
