While it's an undeniably hot topic, I think a lot of confusion remains around it as to who will be affected and how. A number of our clients were concerned about what impact this would have on business. In response, we put together a white paper to help navigate any confusion. Anyone that wants a quick run-down of what exactly E-Verify is, who's required to participate, as well as how to register for participation can check out the document here http://bit.ly/SGs9A I'd be interested in hearing any feedback other community members have, regarding the content and/or how their own company has reacted to E-Verify. caitrin.osullivan@icims.com I second (and third) Sylvia and Gordon’s sentiments that the number of inquiries regarding E-Verify has jumped significantly in recent months.

I'm from Arizona, where employers use of E-Verify was mandated by the state last year; the SmartSearch ATS was one of the first to add E-Verify integration because many of our clients in AZ and other states were asking for it. The integration took nearly six months to code and get Certified by the Federal government, we had to pass a number of tests and complete a lengthy validation process in order for our application to be compliant with the E-Verify program and better serve our clients where it had been mandated under State law. The SmartSearch integration with the E-Verify system further streamlines hiring and I-9 compliance processes, which helps employers maintain a legal workforce, improves the accuracy of wage and tax reporting, and virtually eliminates Social Security mismatches. In the last 12 months, we've seen the use of this integration grow exponentially -- we think E-Verify is here to stay. In fact, I just sent a client info about E-Verify last night.

People ask if it is easier to do it electronically through a designated agent. To answer this question, we explain there is some lead time to set up the account. Different questions need to be asked of the client, size of the workforce, etc. We must create a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the client to sign, which we return then to the USCIS. But once we are through with the setup process, the rest is pretty simple and straightforward. The positives are that your E-Verify integrates with your candidate's additional background checks. The negative is that it cost a few bucks, where if Human Resources chooses to do it themselves there is no cost but labor. In any event, inquiries have increased and sign ups, be it through designated agents or E-Verify directly will increase dramatically. Within the next twelve months any company conducting business with the federal government will be loathe to not be participating in the E-Verify system.
