Summary:

The wording changes slightly, for example in a PERM Recruitment newspaper ad, you are allowed to abbreviate certain words.

In radio, your wording has to be in a script that can be “spoken” by the radio station’s production staff.

And, for an Employer Website posting, where ad rates and per-line charges are not an issue, you can be more descriptive about the position.

Tips:

• You should always include employer’s official company name in ad.
• Instruct applicants on “how to apply”, e.g. via “mail”, “email”, “in person”, “by fax”, or “through this site” [656.17(f)(2)]
• Describe the job in detail so as to inform the US work force of the exact nature of the job you are seeking to certify. [656.17(f)(3)]
• Designate the job location (especially if different from the company location) in a specific entry, for example: “Job is located in Austin, Texas”. Also advise of any travel or circumstances surrounding access to the job location, for example: “Public transit not available”. [656.17(f)(4)

As you can see, it’s no small task to organize a DOL Compliant set of job ads unless you have a feel for how to save money in respective media outlets, describe the job in terms of compliance with the legal requirements set out by Dept. Of Labor, *and* do so in the appropriate timeline as far as recruitment scheduling goes.

The idea though is to approach each media outlet with the above examples in mind, and you should have no problems when a Certifying Officer reviews your case.
