BREAKING: HUGE HIRING SCAM EXPOSED!… Job Search Sites Caught Hiding High-Paying Jobs from Skilled American Workers in Order to Hire Foreigners! – But They Got Caught!
A grassroots network of online researchers claims to have uncovered a troubling pattern among U.S. companies: allegedly hiding high-paying job openings from American workers while using legal loopholes to prioritize hiring foreign labor through H-1B and Permanent Labor Certification (PERM) programs.
According to the group, companies are posting job ads in obscure locations — such as little-known websites or small Sunday newspaper classifieds — while omitting those same listings from their official careers pages and mainstream job boards. This strategy, they argue, allows employers to meet the technical requirements of job advertising for foreign worker sponsorship, while avoiding genuine exposure to the broader American workforce.
The practice appears aimed at fulfilling the Department of Labor’s requirement that jobs be advertised to U.S. workers before a company can sponsor a foreign candidate. However, critics argue the intent behind these practices is to avoid hiring Americans at all, creating a loophole in what is meant to be a worker protection regulation.
In response, the citizen-led group has launched Jobs.Now, a new platform designed to surface these “hidden” jobs and put them back in front of American applicants. “We built custom software to rapidly process hundreds of PERM job postings from across the country and present them in a modern job board format,” the group said in a statement.
So far, the effort claims to have helped users apply for over 35,000 jobs at more than 1,000 companies.
The PERM program, overseen by the Department of Labor, is meant to ensure that hiring foreign workers won’t negatively affect American workers. Employers must prove there are no qualified, willing, and available U.S. workers for a given position. But the recent findings suggest the advertising process itself may be manipulated to secure that outcome.
The group behind Jobs.Now has specifically called out companies like Samsara and Pinterest for allegedly maintaining separate recruiting tracks—one public, and another less visible track used for immigration compliance.

In one example, the group flagged a $270,000 remote job at Samsara for a Senior Business Operations Manager, where applicants were instructed to email the company’s immigration team directly. When questioned about the listing, Samsara’s own recruiting team reportedly claimed they were unaware the job even existed, leading Jobs.Now to suggest the company was running a “dual-track recruiting” system.
Another listing, for a Senior Technical Program Manager at Pinterest paying $247,000, was allegedly only found on a third-party site, with no presence on the company’s own job portal. Similar cases were reported involving OpenAI, Instacart, and Udemy, where applicants were directed to submit resumes to “global mobility” or immigration departments instead of standard recruiting channels.
Samsara is the latest multi-billion dollar public tech company asking applicants to email resumes to their immigration team!
when will this end?

Under current PERM regulations, companies must advertise job opportunities through state workforce agencies, internal postings, and at least two Sunday print ads in major newspapers. However, critics say the letter of the law is being followed while its spirit is being ignored.
Speaking to Newsweek, the team behind Jobs.Now — who requested anonymity — said, “Americans are not aware that major companies are routinely discriminating against them for the simple fact of being Americans in their own country.”
The group says its mission is to restore fairness and transparency to the job market. “We think American workers are the greatest in the world,” they said, “and we want to make sure they have the first shot at every job.”
