e. 3. C. Marketing the Agricultural Recruitment System to Agricultural Employers and How it Intends to Improve Such Publicity.
Current Narrative:
The following is a revised response.
H2A allows U.S. employers to bring and hire workers from another country. The Agricultural Recruitment System (ARS) is used by the local offices to prove that the U.S. has enough workers to refer and fill the H2A job orders and prevent the displacement of U.S. workers. Employers have to file an ETA-790 form and follow the process through the Foreign Labor Certification Unit to get their job order cleared and approved so the job order can go to the local offices for referral and job placement.
The State makes efforts to market the ARS to agricultural employers to improve its publicity. For instance, State staff do file searches in the system for qualified applicants and conduct outreach to such applicants via letters and phone calls to notify them of job openings. State staff work with employers to fill job orders and match applicants to their job descriptions and skills requirements.
