Tata says its workforce strategy won't be affected by PERM suspensions and is hiring 15,000 more workers

TCS says the new restriction won't affect its hiring plans in the US. Indranil Aditya/Bloomberg/Getty Images Tata Consultancy Services says it will still hire 15,000 in the US, despite the PERM freeze. It said it submitted only a single-digit number of PERM applications over the past two years. TCS was among eight tech companies on the list, including Microsoft, Adobe, and Infosys. Indian tech giant Tata Consultancy Services said the Trump administration’s new restrictions on employment-based green card filings will not affect its hiring plans in the US. In a stock exchange filing on Friday, TCS said that it had submitted only a single-digit number of applications through the Permanent Labor Certification, or PERM, process over the past two years. The certification is usually the first required step for an employer seeking to sponsor a foreign worker for permanent US residency.
