Do you have offer letters to those candidates and their decline letters stating the wage offered is too low to accept it. Also the low wage is still >= prevailing wage? If you don't have and DOL audit it, you'll be in trouble. Your future cases may all be auditted. So be careful. Also you cannot use 'over qualified' to reject anyone. How about 'We conducted a phone interview and asked 20 questions. He can only answer 8 of them correctly. Thus we believe his qualification doesn't meet our requirements."
Thank you very much for the info. Seems that I can't avoid conducting interview for each one of them then... Another question. Do I have to have an offer letter for them to reject to show they decline the offer? Can't I just ask over the phone how much is your minimum required salary expectation?

PERM process is called good faith recruiting. Just use the common hiring practices as if you are really looking to hire someone. And this someone is 'your PERM client' in the end. But before you get there, you will need to go through all qualified candidates to make sure they are not better. Of course if you find someone better, you won't really hire that person. So what you do is to conduct phone interviews and ask tough questions. If someone is in local, you might invite him/her for on site interview. Then you can list all the legit reasons to disqualify them (not technically sound , etc, etc). This way, even DOL audit, they would see you've done a great deal of effort on recruiting. I wouldn't even mention the salary offer but if you feel confident that the salary offered won't attract anyone, then use it. Talk over phone should be fine. Just write down what the interviewee said, like: You: "What's your expected salary range?" Can: "90k" You: "oh, we can only offer 40k" Can: "Are you kidding me?" ... Other reasons like not show on time in interview can be used to reject candidates as well.
