The US Department of Justice (DoJ) 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.<\/p>\n

The DoJ’s Civil Rights Division\u2019s Immigrant and Employee Rights Section (IER) claimed<\/a> [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.<\/p>\n

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 the anti-discrimination provision<\/a> of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which prohibits employers from recruiting or refusing to hire prospective employees based on their citizenship or immigration status.<\/p>\n
