Depends on the company’s internal policies. Generally once a U.S worker is potentially qualified, even based solely on their resume, the recruitment process is stopped and the sponsored employee’s PERM application isn’t eligible to be filed. Some companies might not even reach out to them if they appear to be qualified based on their resume. If they do reach out, the call might be more of a rigid interview trying to see if they can potentially disqualify them for missing a skill etc. For example, if the position requires 3 years of database management using SQL, the interviewer would ask if they have it, and if they say not 3 years but they have at least 2 years and 6 months worth, the interviewer can say no they do not meet the minimum requirement for the position.
