Specific Skills

CLARIFICATION TO PART H, LINES 6 6A AND PART J, LINE 18 Please note that the structure of Form ETA 9089 distinguishes between experience in job offered experience in specific skills or other requirements. Part H, Lines 6 6A only seek to determine whether Employer requires experience in the job offered while Part H, Line 14 seeks to determine whether Employer requires knowledge or experience in specific skills or other reqmts. In the current situation, employer does not require experience in the job offered of a Software Developers Level II Part H, Lines 6 6A reqmts. Therefore, Part H, Line 6 is correctly check marked No because that section only seeks to determine experience in the job offered, not employers complete, holistic reqmts for the position. In the same vein, please note that Part J, Line 18 is correctly check marked NA because that section also only seeks to determine whether Beneficiary satisfies the employers experience in the job offered reqmt at Part H, Lines 6 6A. Although Employer does not seek any experience in the job offered, employer has other requirements. The Form ETA 9089 requires the Employer to list any other requirements at Part H, Line 14. Therefore, Employer sets forth its other requirements below.br br OTHER REQUIREMENTS 5 years progressive post Baccalaureate experience in SDLC including 1 year experience in relevant technologies identified at Part H, Line 11. To determine experience, employer does not consider job titles, but job duties as dispositive on this issue. Alien beneficiary satisfies the experience requirements listed at Part H, Line 14 through prior experience shown at Part K Alien Work Experience.br br CLARIFICATION REGARDING PETITIONERS PROFESSIONAL RECRUITMENT INFORMATION To establish good faith recruitment, the Employer goes beyond the directives of US DOLs Barbara Ann Farmers Memo on acceptable recruitment for situations involving work at unanticipated client sites across USA. In situations where an employer has more than one office location, the Barbara Ann Farmers Memo requires recruitment from just the principal office, does not require recruitment from all of employers office locations. However, in the current situation, Employer not only complies with the mandatory minimum recruitment stipulated in the USDOL Farmer Memo by recruiting from the Employers principal office, but in fact recruits from all of Employers business locations at the highest PWD wage specified in greater detail below Employer believes that exclusive reliance on the DOLs Farmer Memo carries business uncertainty since it is neither a statute nor a regulation, DOL can withdraw the memo at any time. Therefore, Employer believes it prudent to not only comply with the DOL Farmer Memo, but also conduct recruitment at all of employers business locations. This approach would sufficiently address any changesuncertainties in the law in the future. Therefore, in addition to the recruitment activities listed at Part I, Sections C D, Lines 6 thru 22 of the Form ETA 9089 for Employers location in the state of Alabama, Employer also conducted the following additional recruitment for its location in the state of Georgia DOL SWA Job Order posting on www.employgeorgia.com from 04202019 to 05212019; Sunday Print Advertisements in The Atlanta Journal Constitution 05192019 05262019; Employer Website postings on the company website www.rivigroup.com via httpsrivigroup.zohorecruit.com on 01092019; Job Search Website postings on www.jobvertise.com from 01092019 to 05192019; Local Print Advertisement in The Atlanta Journal Constitution on 05222019; Radio Advertisement on WGKA AM 920 The Answer Radio, on 05312019 at approx 1103 AM. Employer complied with In House Postings at both its Alabama Georgia locations. PART H, LINE 14 DETAILS CUT OFF DUE TO SPACE LIMITATIONPART H, LINE 14 DETAILS CONTINUED AT PART H, LINE 11.
