Recruitment in many countries is regulated through a combination of immigration, criminal, and administrative laws. This paper will compare how two countries, Spain and the United States, regulate the recruitment of agricultural and low-skilled guest workers, a population generally vulnerable to fraud, based on a review of each country’s laws and relevant literature. The conclusion is that both countries could benefit from a unified national plan to combat this problem, and that the United States in particular could draw inspiration from Spain’s collaboration with several of its top migrant-sending countries. Spain’s present-day model mirrors in some respects prior U.S. successes in recruitment policy.application/pdfengAquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús de Creative Commons, amb la qual es permet copiar, distribuir i comunicar públicament l'obra sempre que se'n citin l'autor original, la universitat i el departament i no se'n faci cap ús comercial ni obra derivada, tal com queda estipulat en la llicència d'ús (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/es/)Selecció de personalTreballadors estrangers -- EspanyaTreballadors estrangers -- Estats Units d'AmèricaTreballadors estrangers -- Drets civilsThe recruitment mechanism in Spaish and U.S. guest worker programs: preventing fraud and abuse in worker selection and hiringinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
