Comment on What should I do if someone applied to a job at a company I work at without being able to legally work in my country?

  This is all HR’s problem, not anyone else’s. It’s what HR is for.

  Not sure why they’re punting it back to you.

  I understand that your concerned for the person, but simply telling them that they need to produce proof before you can go any further seems fine.

  Well then give the candidate a deadline and move on when/if they can’t.

  If you are in the US and they aren’t able to work in the US legally, I’m sure they are worried that admitting they are not legal would possibly mean getting deported that much faster, so they are looking for a way to sneak out without admitting their status.

    I’m looking to try to unwind this with as little blowback to the applicant as possible.

      Then don’t report them to ICE? Repost the want ad and move on. Treat it like they stopped responding, because they did.

        I’m not going to report them to ICE, but I’m trying to address all the issues of going non-responsive.

      They have to file paperwork with the necessary supporting documents. If they can’t, you have no idea why. Maybe it’s because they’re ineligible and in violation of immigration and visa restrictions. Maybe it’s because the documents were lost in a move. Maybe they had their identity stolen and are awaiting new documents. Maybe they just don’t actually give a shit about the job and aren’t bothering to do the paperwork to start working.

      All you can say is that you’ve asked them to fill out the paperwork and they haven’t done so.

  What country are you in? If USA, you must be able to fill out an I-9. It’s pretty cut and dry. If there is a recruiter involved, they are required to have the potential employee complete one before they refer them.

    US. We’ve tried to get the applicant to fill out an I-9, which failed.

      “we would love to hire you, but can’t until you fill out this document, I can wait until X date, but after that we will have to hire another applicant. Please get back with us as soon as possible, we would hate to miss out on the opportunity to work with such a highly qualified candidate”
