TCS Says US Green Card Programme Suspension Won't Affect Hiring, Plans 15,000 Jobs
TCS said its PERM applications were in single digits over the past two years and it will add 15,000 US employees over five years.
- On Friday, Tata Consultancy Services said the US government's suspension of the Permanent Labour Certification program would not materially affect its workforce strategy or client engagements.
- US Vice President JD Vance and Labour Secretary Keith Sonderling announced on Thursday that eight IT companies, including TCS, Infosys, and Microsoft, were suspended from the PERM program amid a broader crackdown on skilled-worker immigration.
- Officials alleged the programs contributed to hundreds of thousands of American job losses, yet TCS maintained its PERM applications remained in "single digits" over the past two years, limiting the suspension's immediate significance.
- The company emphasized that its strategy centers on local recruitment, reiterating plans to hire 15,000 employees in the US over five years rather than relying on the PERM route.
- Vice President Vance separately announced an investigation into the J-1 visa program for research scholars used by nine universities, including Harvard, Stanford, and Yale, signaling broader administration scrutiny beyond technology firms.
