IT recruiter Secureapp settles with DoJ over discriminating against US hiring claims
The US Department of Justice said on Wednesday that it reached a settlement with Secureapp Technologies LLC, an IT recruiting firm based in New Jersey, to resolve the department's determination that Secureapp discriminated against US-based job applicants.[PDF] that between January 10, 2019, and April 6, 2020, Secureapp posted at least a dozen discriminatory jobs ads for only non-US citizens who were seeking sponsorship to work or who already had an employment-based visa.
By doing so, the DoJ says, Secureapp discouraged US citizens and others permitted to work in the US without sponsorship from applying for employment. This violates theof the Immigration and Nationality Act, which prohibits employers from recruiting or refusing to hire prospective employees based on their citizenship or immigration status.
"When employers invite applications only from candidates with specified immigration statuses, they deter individuals from applying and deny them a fair chance to be considered," said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, in."The Civil Rights Division is committed to knocking down these unlawful discriminatory barriers."
The settlement requires Secureapp to pay $26,000 in penalties without admitting guilt, to train its recruiters to comply with the law, to post[PDF] explaining the right to work, and within 60 days to draft new employment policies subject to IER approval. The recruiting firm will also be subject to IER monitoring.
This is at least the fourth settlement with IT recruiting firms alleging discrimination against US-based workers in the past year.
