Internet sleuths have uncovered a likely illegal scheme where U.S. companies and job search sites are systematically hiding lucrative job openings from qualified, skilled American workers, all to funnel those jobs directly to foreign workers through H-1B and green card Permanent Labor Certification “PERM” loopholes.
The scheme is as dirty as it gets: corporations bury ads in obscure corners of the internet or tiny Sunday print listings, while deliberately keeping those same jobs off their main career sites where real Americans are actually looking.
Why? So they can claim to have “advertised” positions to U.S. citizens while quietly handing them to foreign applicants.
This was discovered by a grassroots group, and that’s why the group of investigators has launched Jobs.Now: Exposing hidden jobs for Americans, a new job board exposing these hidden skilled jobs and PERM jobs, and putting them back in the hands of American workers.
So what is a “Permanent Labor Certification (PERM)” worker?
According to the Department of Labor:
A permanent labor certification issued by the Department of Labor (DOL) allows an employer to hire a foreign worker to work permanently in the United States. In most instances, before the U.S. employer can submit an immigration petition to the Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the employer must obtain a certified labor certification application from the DOL’s Employment and Training Administration (ETA). The DOL must certify to the USCIS that there are not sufficient U.S. workers able, willing, qualified, and available to accept the job opportunity in the area of intended employment and that employment of the foreign worker will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers.
According to their X account, “The mission of Jobs.Now is to get Americans access to quality jobs in their own country. We think American workers are the greatest workers in the world, and we exist to make sure they get the chance to be considered for every job first!” the group wrote.

They added this:
“We were tired of seeing companies hire H-1Bs for ordinary jobs that Americans could do…
When we learned from @amandalouise416 that employers were systematically discriminating against Americans by hiding jobs for PERM applicants (in violation of the law), we decided to create our own job board to make it EASY & ACCESSIBLE for Americans to apply for hidden PERM jobs!
We built custom software that allows us to rapidly process hundreds of PERM job postings from across the country, and upload them into a modern job board format!
And now we are proud we have helped our users apply for over 35 thousand jobs at over 1000 companies!
We will always be dedicated to providing access to American jobs for American workers!
Thank you to so many of you coming to follow us this week! We are so happy to have the chance to help thousands more of you with your job searches
Repeating now – why did we create Jobs Now?
We were tired of seeing companies hire H1Bs for ordinary jobs that Americans could do!…

The group has exposed companies like Samsara and Pinterest for allegedly maintaining separate, segregated job boards that bypass their main career pages.
“Samsara is the latest multi-billion dollar public tech company asking applicants to email resumes to their immigration team! when will this end? 270k for a sr. bizops manager here, fully remote,” the group wrote.

“Update on this Samsara role: Samsara recruiting has now reached out to us asking where we found the role, as they aren’t aware it exists,” the group added.
“We told them just what we always tell you guys: We found it in the newspaper! This seems to be more evidence of illegal dual-track recruiting!”
According to Samsara: “Hi, I noticed you posted about certain job listings at Samsara in this post (https://x.com/jobsnowpr/status/1956835910529490975?s=46&t=87vt2R-COOBQHOPSwQIGFA). We don’t recognize those listings. They’re not available on our jobs page, for example. Where did you find these listings? Please let me know so we can address them.

In another post, the group wrote, “Despite their recruiting team’s confusion, Samsara is back this week with another big dump of jobs requesting you to email your resume to their immigration team Designer here for up to 192k.”

In another case study, a Pinterest Sr. Tech Program Manager position paying $247,000 per year was allegedly only listed on an obscure third-party site—completely absent from Pinterest’s own careers page.
See the X thread below:
We are BACK with another interesting segregated job board case study!
Starting with this Sr Tech Program Manager role at Pinterest – 247k per year
But whats that? The application directs to greenhouse. Does a company the size of Pinterest not have its own career page… pic.twitter.com/OTYjN7mAYY— Jobs.Now: Exposing hidden jobs for Americans! (@JobsNowPR) August 22, 2025
But then we went and checked if Pinterest has its own career page.
Thats funny – it does! https://t.co/MZoxGZwJSmBut when we searched the same REF number, there are no results – this job isn’t listed! pic.twitter.com/YkyoJdBXfJ

Blue-chip firms like OpenAI and Instacart have reportedly also run PERM ads in the San Francisco Chronicle, directing résumés to “global mobility” or immigration departments, NOT to regular HR or recruiting.
As Newsweek reported, employers are supposed to list jobs in state workforce sites, company bulletin boards, and major Sunday newspapers. Instead, companies are weaponizing the system, setting up a paper trail that keeps Americans locked out while keeping government regulators off their backs.
Newsweek reported:
In recent months, blue-chip tech companies like OpenAI and Instacart have posted listings in the San Francisco Chronicle, with applicants urged to send resumes to immigration or “global mobility” departments.
Under the Department of Labor’s rules, roles have to be listed publicly, including in at least two major Sunday newspapers, in this case the Sunday edition of the Chronicle. Employers also have to list the roles on a state workforce agency site, internally at the company itself and two other advertising methods of their choice.
“Americans are not aware that major companies are routinely discriminating against them for the simple fact of being Americans in their own country,” the team behind Jobs.Now, a website seeking out H-1B roles to share them with Americans, told Newsweek on condition their identities were kept anonymous.
[…]
In San Francisco Chronicle ads reviewed by Newsweek, OpenAI said it was hiring a software engineer, with applicants urged to send resumes to someone working in the “global mobility team”.
Instacart offered multiple positions, with a similar department taking applications, while Udemy, an online learning platform, wanted a director of marketing analytics and data science, with resumes to be sent to “immigration@udemy.com”.
