Section 2: Purpose of This Notice
This notice is posted in connection with the filing of an Application for Permanent Employment Certification (ETA Form 9089) by Lumos Analytics Inc. with the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Foreign Labor Certification, pursuant to 20 CFR Part 656 (the "PERM" program).
Lumos Analytics Inc. is seeking to sponsor a foreign national employee for lawful permanent residence (commonly referred to as a "green card") in the United States under the Employment-Based Second Preference (EB-2) immigrant visa classification. The EB-2 classification is designated for professionals holding an advanced degree, or the equivalent thereof, who are being offered a position that requires such qualifications. The foreign national being sponsored holds qualifications at the Advanced Degree Professional level as defined under Section 203(b)(2) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. §1153(b)(2).
This posting constitutes a mandatory step in the PERM labor certification recruitment process. Under Department of Labor regulations at 20 CFR §656.10(d), an employer filing a PERM application must provide notice of the filing to its employees at the worksite where the offered position will be located. This notice satisfies that requirement. The purpose of the PERM labor certification process is to ensure that the employment of the foreign national in the offered position will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers, and that there are no qualified, willing, able, and available U.S. workers for the position.

Section 8: Additional Regulatory Notices
The filing of an application for permanent employment certification with the U.S. Department of Labor does not constitute a guarantee of employment to any applicant, nor does it guarantee that the application will be approved by the Department of Labor. The PERM labor certification process is a regulatory procedure through which the Department of Labor evaluates whether there are sufficient qualified U.S. workers available for the position offered and whether the employment of a foreign national in the position would adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers.
Questions regarding the PERM labor certification process, including the regulatory requirements governing the filing of ETA Form 9089 and the recruitment procedures applicable to professional occupations, may be directed to the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Foreign Labor Certification. General information about the PERM program is available on the Department of Labor's Foreign Labor Certification website at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/foreign-labor.

General Instructions:
This template must be completed separately for each of the four beneficiary positions for which PERM labor certification applications are being filed by Lumos Analytics Inc. Each completed posting must contain the specific job title, SOC code, job duties, minimum requirements, and offered salary applicable to the individual position. Under no circumstances should a single posting be used to cover more than one position.
The four positions requiring separate postings are as follows:
IMPORTANT — Beneficiary Name Confidentiality: The beneficiary's name must NOT appear anywhere on the posted notice. The worksite posting is required to describe the job opportunity and the terms and conditions of employment; it is not required to identify, and must not identify, the foreign national employee being sponsored. The inclusion of the beneficiary's name on the posted notice could compromise the integrity of the recruitment process and may raise issues in the event of a PERM audit. All four postings should be reviewed carefully before posting to confirm that the beneficiary's name does not appear.
Posting Schedule:
• Campaign 1 (Rajan Mehta — VP, Engineering and Lina Varga — Senior Director, Data Science): The worksite postings for these two positions are to be coordinated with the broader recruitment campaign commencing on October 9, 2023. The notices should be posted on or before October 9, 2023 and should remain posted for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. Assuming posting on October 9, 2023 (Monday), and excluding weekends and the Columbus Day federal holiday (October 9, 2023), the earliest permissible removal date should be calculated accordingly. Please consult with Calderwood & Harkness LLP to confirm the exact removal date.
• Campaign 2 (Tomás Aguilar-Reyes — VP, Product and Yumiko Tanaka — Director, Information Security): The worksite postings for these two positions are to be coordinated with the broader recruitment campaign commencing on October 23, 2023. The notices should be posted on or before October 23, 2023 and should remain posted for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. Please consult with Calderwood & Harkness LLP to confirm the exact removal date.
Post-Removal Documentation Requirements:
Upon removal of each posting at the conclusion of the 10-business-day posting period, the following steps must be completed:
1. The Compliance Certification in Section 6 of each posting must be completed and signed by an authorized representative of Lumos Analytics Inc. (Janelle Kwon or another authorized officer or manager).
2. A photograph or high-resolution scan of each posted notice in situ (i.e., as it appeared while physically posted at the worksite) must be taken prior to removal. The photograph should clearly show (a) the full text of the notice, and (b) the surrounding area sufficient to demonstrate that the notice was posted in a conspicuous location at the worksite.
3. The completed and signed certification, together with the photograph or scan, must be forwarded promptly to:
(a) Janelle Kwon, HR Manager, Lumos Analytics Inc. (internal retention copy); and
(b) Derek Okonkwo, Associate, Calderwood & Harkness LLP, 555 California Street, 32nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94104 (email: dokonkwo@calderwoodharkness.com) — for inclusion in the PERM audit file.
Document Retention:
All recruitment documentation, including each completed worksite posting, the signed compliance certification, and the photograph or scan of the posted notice, must be retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of filing the PERM application or from the date the recruitment was conducted, whichever is later. This retention requirement is mandated by 20 CFR §656.10(f) and applies regardless of whether the PERM application is approved, denied, or withdrawn. Lumos Analytics Inc. should maintain these records in a secure and accessible location, organized by beneficiary name and PERM case number.
Coordination with Other Recruitment Steps:
Please note that the internal worksite posting is only one of several mandatory recruitment steps required for PERM applications filed for professional occupations. Broadgate Compliance Services LLC (contact: Gerald Fitzmorris, 1414 K Street NW, Suite 730, Washington, DC 20005) has been retained to handle the placement of the following additional mandatory recruitment advertisements on behalf of Lumos Analytics Inc.:
• Two print advertisements in a newspaper of general circulation (Sunday edition of the San Jose Mercury News);
• State Workforce Agency (SWA) job order filed with the California Employment Development Department (EDD);
• Online posting on a professional journal or trade publication website relevant to the occupation; and
• Additional recruitment steps as required under 20 CFR §656.17(e)(1) for professional occupations (three of ten additional steps).
The internal worksite posting described in this template is the sole responsibility of the Lumos Analytics Inc. HR team and is not being handled by Broadgate Compliance Services LLC. It is critical that the posting be completed, displayed, and documented in accordance with the instructions above, as the worksite posting is frequently a focus of Department of Labor audits of PERM applications.

Any questions regarding the completion of this template, the calculation of posting dates, the documentation of the posting period, or any other aspect of the PERM recruitment process should be directed to:
