Somehow as soon as possible in the application/recruitment process, let the potential employer know that although "sponsorship" is required, the process can be quick, cheap, and easy.

How "easy" you mean? Can the worker do it by themselves? What is the cost compared if we go with a lawyer?

SUPER easy: https://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/temporary-worker... You do not need a lawyer and the letter of employment can be done by the HR department of your employer, just be sure to include everything they ask for. I did it all by myself and got my company to reimburse me the fee after I came in to work.
