Content overview: “TCS to Hire 15,000 US Workers Despite PERM Suspension, Says Workforce Strategy Unchanged”. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) will proceed with plans to hire 15,000 additional employees in the United States, even as the company faces suspension from the federal PERM labor certification program, which is used to sponsor foreign workers for permanent residency. The suspension does not alter TCS's US workforce strategy, according to the company. The PERM program, overseen by the Department of Labor, allows employers to demonstrate that no qualified US workers are available for a role and to sponsor a foreign worker for a green card.
