For employers or businesses that want to place immigration labor advertising, there are many requirements for the process. The Department of Labor has stringent guidelines so that all ads fall under fair workplace laws. Before an employer can advertise a position to migrants, it must be available to a domestic audience first.
Given the process is a long and tiring one, many employers choose to use the services of immigration labor advertising agencies. The services they offer can take away a lot of pressure and stress under the circumstances. It also means that the ad is more likely to run and be successful.
