IT firm LanceSoft faces probe over H-1B-only job ads, excluding US workers

  • IT staffing firm LanceSoft is criticized for a job ad that excluded US citizens, requiring only H-1B visa holders.
  • The ad, for a technical support role, explicitly stated "No USC/GC for this role," despite federal law prohibiting citizenship-based discrimination.
  • LanceSoft removed the controversial job posting within 24 hours after being contacted by reporters.
  • The Justice Department has previously fined companies like Meta and IBM for similar discriminatory hiring practices.
  • Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon confirmed that authorities are actively investigating such cases.

Why It Matters: It shows firms illegally favoring H-1B workers over US citizens, affecting jobs.
