Is your Internet Resume Search "OFCCP-proof?"

Are you in operational compliance with the OFCCP’s Internet Applicant rule? You should be if you can answer “yes” to the following questions:

  1. Is your company a government contractor?
  2. Do you handle the internet recruiting for a company that is a government contractor?
  3. Do you recruit for candidates using the Internet, including: career sites, personal web pages or searching the free web?

OFCCP Compliance is not just about corporate responsibility. It can be a costly detriment to your business if you are unable to demonstrate through your reporting efforts that you have a commitment to fair and non-discriminatory hiring practice.

The OFFCP reported record financial recoveries of over 67 million dollars as a result of compliance audits conducted for fiscal year 2008. Audit numbers and financial recoveries have increased year over year since 2004.*

Can your company afford to take a financial hit that could cost hundreds of thousand of dollars? Can your company afford the message it sends to potential candidates if you aren’t following best practices for non-discriminatory hiring?

OFCCP Compliance is a serious issue that requires a good hard look at your reporting capabilities. Shouldn’t your recruiting partners take that capability just as seriously?

To learn how TalentHook can aid you in your internet resume search and support your efforts to be in compliance with the OFCCP’s Internet Applicant rule, check out the History Preservation feature.
