OFCCP Compliance

I recently came across an alarming email from a job board claiming to be the sole authority on OFCCP compliance programs. The email struck a chord with our team at America’s Job Exchange (AJE) because it virtually discredited all other providers who offer similar services. While we respect our competitors and understand the impetus to attract attention to their products, we feel compelled to clarify so that misconceptions are not formed due to such misleading communications from this job board.
Government Gives you a Choice: When it comes to reporting diversity recruitment efforts, the rules are actually very simple: the government gives you a choice and doesn’t endorse one service provider over another. As an employer, you can field the reporting yourself, OR you may use an on-line recruiting provider to help you with the administrative chores of posting, distributing, and record-keeping. If you choose to outsource your reporting duties, there are several choices available. We would invite you to consider America’s Job Exchange which remains the industry leader for compliance services, as it has been since the inception of on-line recruiting through the America’s Job Bank program.
Planning for OFCCP Compliance: While documenting and reporting your diversity recruiting should be top of mind, so should seeking out candidates that are emblematic of the definition of diversity. It is our goal at AJE to help you not only configure a plan of action for OFCCP compliance but also to ensure that your company is recruiting diverse employees, and is established as an employer of choice for these unique groups. And AJE is the only job board that can lay claim to both of these initiatives.
At AJE, we offer a variety of solutions to fulfill your recruitment goals. With our large pool of job seekers from minorities, women, veterans, and candidates with disabilities, AJE has rapidly become the premier source for not only OFCCP distribution and reporting, but also for employers looking to gain access to a candidate pool rich in diversity and experience.
But don’t just take our word for it. Please go to our website and read the testimonials from some of our hundreds of SMBs and Fortune 500 clients who have made AJE their go-to source for diversity recruiting and OFCCP compliance services. As a 15-year veteran in this industry, we feel it’s our duty to educate our customers on the veracity of claims laid out by other job boards who seek out clients through propaganda-style advertising or an exaggeration of their outreach.
The process of proactive diversity recruiting and reporting to the OFCCP can be a daunting task for any employer, regardless of size. It doesn’t help if you are bombarded by salespeople that may provide misleading information and claims. At AJE, we have hired specialized coordinators to assist you with your compliance queries. Even if you are not a client of AJE, we welcome your questions and input. Please call one of our specialists anytime at 1-866-923-8284.

We salute you!

Today America honors its military veterans for their patriotism, commitment, and sacrifice while serving in the armed forces. Veterans Day has been a national holiday since 1938, and was originally named Armistice Day to commemorate the end of World War I combat. The name was changed to Veterans Day in 1954 to recognize all veterans, not just those who served in World War I.
Official ceremonies for Veterans Day center around the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington Cemetery, where the bodies of soldiers who valiantly fought and gave their lives during combat are interred. Officers in full military uniform stand guard over the tomb and give a salute to commemorate the sacrifice of these fallen heroes, while living veterans are recognized for their past contributions.
Here at America’s Job Exchange, we are extremely thankful for all that the Veterans have done in service to our country. We support the brave people in uniform who risk their lives each day so that we have the chance to live in a better world. At America’s Job Exchange, we try to give back to these individuals by providing them with the tools to get back into the workforce and further themselves in a career of their choice. Along with a recent partnership with Corporate Gray, a leading job transition site for members of the armed forces, AJE’s own “Military Center” provides the Veteran community with a place to search for jobs where employers are looking to hire veteran candidates. Our efforts to help companies reach out to veterans with through our job distribution services have also helped in these efforts. This is the least we can do to say “thank you” for all the sacrifices these veterans have made during their course of duty.

Where would you invest now?

If you are wondering if where you should be investing in the middle of this economic downturn, the answer is simple – now is the time to invest in your career.
The one investment that consistently beats returns in equity, income or real estate is the investment in education. Your career is an asset, similar to stocks or home, that can significantly increase in value if you invest time and money.
Alan B. Krueger, professor of economics at the Princeton University, says that up to a point, an additional year of schooling is likely to raise an individual’s earnings about 10 percent.
Not just income. Data also suggests that overall risk of unemployment drops as education rises. (See Study by the Bureau of Labor Statistics)

Investing your education is investing in yourself
Here at America’s Job Exchange, we not only help you find a job when out of work or looking for a change, we are also working to put together a platform where you can find education opportunities that can shape your career. We are excited to launch our Education Center today along with the announcement of our partnership with Education Dynamics. It connects you with more than 1,800 institutions of higher education. We have a lot more to do, but I am thrilled that we could get it started now. Keep your eyes out over the next 60 days for additions and improvements to the Education Center.

Why wait when you have a great investment right in front of you.
