A US Small Business Administration HUBZone Certified Company

Alien Labor Processing and Certification is a very detailed and time consuming effort.  The process is so loaded with bureaucracy, that it seems done purposely in order to discourage alien labor hiring.  With that said, however Sherman Consulting has dedicated full time staff on Guam and in the Philippines who, process alien labor documents on behalf of our client.  The difference between our service and the service of others is that Sherman Consulting integrates risk management capabilities in order to provide clients with the best labor force available with the lowest risk of potential liability.  We also have skin in the game as we have gone through the process ourselves for employees.  This means we understand the challenges and issues that come up during the processing, interviewing, verification of documents, arrival on Guam, social and religions implications as well as injury and illnesses which happen during the course of hiring foreign labor.  Our partners in the Philippines also understand this and we have partnered with them to conduct extensive review of applicants to ensure that the “challenges and issues” are nearly nonexistent with our recruits.  This service is not included in our basic representative services but can be quoted separately based on a per recruit fee. 

 

Local Labor Recruitment:
Local Recruitment is a necessary (DOD Required) component for any firm entering the Guam market.  Sherman Consulting’s principles have a history in the Marianas that goes back 500 years, so our team members are well known and are respected members of the community.  As part of our basic service to our clients, we offer Human Resource vetting in which we would conduct background checks on our client’s local applicants.  This includes interviews with past employers, criminal background checks, court proceedings research and community interviews regarding reputations.  Sherman Consulting also offers a unique political background check to verify political affiliations.  This is important for clients as Guam is a very small community and often an employee’s political affiliations transfer to the employer through association and that association can be detrimental to a clients needs in the future.  Sherman also has experience in organizing and managing local labor job fairs on behalf of clients.  At these job fairs, Sherman Consulting’s staff collect and mine resume data on behalf of our client.  This data mining provides a quick snap shot of available labor pool on Guam, which can then drive human resource management decisions regarding local recruitment on Guam.
