What is Immigration Compliance?

The set of processes and controls employers use to ensure every foreign national employee has valid work authorization and that the company meets all government requirements for sponsoring and employing non-citizen workers.

Why it matters in hiring

Immigration Compliance comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
