I was recently referred by a friend who got a job with Kforce and they were willing to sponsor his green card as he is from an African country like me it would take just a year to process it. He referred me and I had a nice conversation with the recruiter only to be told that they can't proceed with me because of a contract with Verizon that doesn't allow them to take anyone under contract at Verizon. 😥 One of my friends left Verizon to kforce this year and there was no issue. I don't know what to do now, I have no contract with Verizon because I am a third party contractor working for another firm. Recently another kforce recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn, do I tell the recruiter what happened or do I just go along with this recruiter and see what happens. I really wish to go to kforce as I need a visa to be able to move ahead in my career. Thanks
Which visa are you on? Ask them to consult their lawyer.
I am currently on day 1 CPT but the issue is not even the visa it is the clause in their agreement with Verizon. I have no issues with Verizon but my current company is not willing to sponsor me on green card.
