I want to indicate that I have work authorization in the US and do not require visa sponsorship now or in the future. What is the best way to indicate that in the resume? A contact indicated that I may not be getting call backs based on my resume because of doubts about work authorization.

My experience is that people call if they like the resume. Then, the first question they ask is if you are authorized to work without sponsorship

Put it on the top of your resume, under your name. My HR Team (in industry) definitely screens out resumes where all of the employment history and school information is from another country because sponsoring H1B is super difficult. And it’s not illegal or discriminatory to screen resumes this way.

like

D1, how is that not violating the equal opportunity clause ? You are discriminating based on national origin by assuming that if someone is educated elsewhere and has work history outside the US, they must be on H1B . Only reason you can do that if your job requirement explicitly states that a candidate must have most or all of their experience in the US

You either don’t know your company’s process or your company is violating EEO

I think when you fill out the application anywhere, they always include this question.
I do not think they look at your background and determine that!

Put it in a line under your name. I have 3 things - 2 contact details and my work status, e.g. US permanent resident

Yep put it up top. Companies have a spot on the application but so many people confuse that with temporary authorization that recruiters filter those resumes out anyway. Saying you have a GC on your resume will help it stay in the pile

Find out which ones have sponsored in the recent past

Why do you think there's doubts? Due to your name, past work locations, etc?

All major firms have that question in the application

Thousands of people work in the US on visas, many for decades. What that indicates is that US employers do hire people who need visas. And as such, if your resume fits the bill you'll get shortlisted. You can always put, somewhere next to your name/contact details on your resume, something along the lines of : "GC holder/US Citizen". That may help in scenarios where a biased recruiter may want to scroll past your resume assuming you need sponsorship since your resume contains non-US credentials

I don’t think you need to put it on your resume tbh. They typically ask on HR screening calls and there’s a space in most applications for that question

All you need to do is tailor your resume to the jobs you're applying for, your residency has nothing to do with you getting called and as such should not be on your resume.

It certainly does
