I'll preface this by saying I am not a lawyer, just someone who has been working with external legal counsel on immigration matters.
My understanding is that in the beginning stages of the employer-sponsored PERM application process, a labor market test must be conducted - essentially recruiting for the role to determine if there are any able, willing, available, and qualified US workers for the position offered to the foreign national. There are certain requirements for the methods of job posting as well as length of time posted.
If a qualified, able, willing, and available US worker is identified through the recruiting process, you will not be able to proceed with the PERM application - the more unique the skillset the role requires, the higher the likelihood of a successful labor market test.
If the HR Specialist role is not highly specialized, there may be difficulty in passing the labor market test.
Thank you for your insight!
