What the OFCCP Means for You

Be Matched to Precisely the Right Opportunities.

On Friday, May 7, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its Employment Situation Summary, which indicates that unemployment in the United States rose to 9.9 percent in April. However, the increase may be partly attributed to the nearly 805,000 workers who reentered the workforce last month. So you should remain hopeful, whether you are actively looking for a new opportunity or passively looking to advance your career.

Hiring Trends
At OneWire, we are seeing more and more companies increase their efforts to comply with the regulations of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP). The OFCCP is responsible for ensuring that companies do not discriminate while hiring, so companies need to be sure their hiring practices meet all Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) standards.

Your Information
So what does this trend mean for you? In your OneWire profile, you have the option to provide EEOC information and to tag yourself as a diversity candidate under the EEOC section at the bottom of your Personal Information page. Providing this type of information is completely optional, but it may benefit some candidates because companies looking to hire diverse candidates can more easily find them and consider them for open opportunities. Companies encourage you to enter your EEOC data, even if it does not seem relevant to you, because it helps them to properly report the makeup of the entire pool of candidates they considered for open opportunities.*

Contact Us
If you would like to learn more about the benefits of including EEOC information in your OneWire profile, please contact us at support@onewire.com.

Sincerely,
The OneWire Team


* Any information you include in this section will not affect your chances of being matched to opportunities - hiring companies can never search for candidates on OneWire based on EEOC data.
