I don't see the contradiction here. The game is as follows: Company has to make a good faith recruitment effort. Not an exhaustive search, not beyond reasonable doubt. Just good faith which follows the preponderance of evidence standard. This is by design. The government doesn't believe that it can win on the merits, and hence they settle. The settlement gives everyone what they want.
> Company has to make a good faith recruitment effort.
Yes. And as the topical article and countless other ones state - they don't. They actively obfuscate their job openings so they do know they act against the law. And it's so easy to observe that their "good lawyers" cannot help here.
>The government doesn't believe that it can win on the merits, and hence they settle.
That's the official opinion of the government, the judiciary, and the defendants. A settlement is not admission of guilt - the opposite actually. What are we even debating here ?
> "good lawyers" cannot help here
A settlement for a pittance, as you said, is the mark of a good lawyer.

That's just, like, your opinion, dude.
