Remote hiring is here to stay. The DHS alternative procedure gives eligible organizations real flexibility for remote and hybrid hiring but flexibility without consistency creates compliance risk. For teams managing distributed workforces, the gap between knowing the rule and applying it correctly is where most violations originate.
This session breaks down exactly what the alternative procedure requires, who qualifies, and how to implement it in a way that holds up under audit. We’ll cover:
-
The most common failure points and what inconsistent application looks like in practice
-
How to build repeatable remote verification workflows that protect the business without adding friction to the candidate experience
-
The latest regulatory changes and enforcement activity so your team is prepared for what’s happening right now, not just what’s on the books
ICE isn’t slowing down. Your remote verification process shouldn’t be a liability.
