Staff Management representative Claudia Roemer and Assistant Secretary Julie L. Myers sign IMAGE Agreement.

When Staff Management, an onsite contingent staffing provider based in Chicago, Ill., signed on earlier this year as a charter member of the ICE Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers program (IMAGE) company officials expected to gain recognition as a corporate leader in complying with laws regarding legal employment. This has been true, but the company is also seeing added benefits.

In the short time since entering the program, Staff Management has found itself sought by at least one employer to help them provide legal workers, and that company may also apply to become a member of IMAGE. Staff Management executive Claudia Roemer commented on the program's impact, “Companies do want to maintain their corporate image through sound hiring practices.”

Part of the strategy for advancing the IMAGE program involves companies learning of and embracing a program that helps them follow existing law from the experiences of fellow companies in their and other industries.

IMAGE fosters partnerships between ICE and businesses, promoting the use of screening tools, best practices, and continuing education to determine employment eligibility based on immigration status.

The program begins with a selfassessment of hiring practices and helps uncover vulnerabilities to illegal activity that are related to immigration status. Technical tools to screen Social Security numbers and other information on job applicants and existing employees are integrated with best practices to lead to a high level of assurance that all of a participating business’s employees are legally eligible for employment.
