Apple agreed to pay penalties and back pay over allegations it had used worse recruitment tools for U.S. citizens and residents.
Federal law enforcement forced Apple to put $18.25 million towards folks who tried to join the company’s staff, but were rebuffed due to the company ignoring job applications sent online. While feds claimed Apple was trying to favor current workers on temporary visas, the tech giant said it was just one big misunderstanding. The U.S. Department of Justice said in a release Thursday that Apple created “barriers” for U.S. citizens, U.S. residents, and refugees or asylum speakers.
“These less effective recruitment procedures nearly always resulted in few or no applications to PERM positions from applicants whose permission to work does not expire,” the DOJ said in its release. Apple already fixed some of its recruitment practices after feds started their investigation back in 2019. Still, officials now require that Apple post its PERM positions to its job site and accept electronic applications.
