Advanced Applicant Tracking Strategies for Government Contractors: Effective Tools to Avoid Claims of Discrimination

Federal contractors and subcontractors are required to track applicant data for their affirmative action plans. However, even companies who properly track applicant data treat the process as a purely recordkeeping exercise. Failure to maintain proper and robust information regarding applicant disposition is the most common error employers can make which results in Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) findings of discrimination and awards of many thousands of dollars.

This live audio conference is designed to guide those persons responsible for applicant tracking on practical and effective strategies for the disposition of applicants as a tool for defending against claims of discrimination. We will also discuss recordkeeping steps critical to support effective applicant tracking. This program is critical for employers subject to OFCCP's jurisdiction and attendant applicant tracking rules so they can avoid costly and reputation damaging discrimination findings.
