DirectEmployers will be OutSolve’s exclusive partner for job listing and recruitment marketing solutions.”In 2022, OFCCP introduced the OFCCP Contractor Portal and changed the way they approach enforcement. Contractors must register and certify on the portal, consequently making it easier to identify contractors in violation. This alliance gives contractors the best in AAP expertise and the tools needed to safeguard and cover all compliance bases.
“The industry’s most influential experts have recognized that the days of “check-the-box” are far behind us,” commented Candee Chambers, Executive Director of DirectEmployers Association. “For companies who value their reputation and want to ensure they are in full compliance, a comprehensive solution is essential. When seeking a partner, OutSolve was our top choice. They have the skills and capacity to deliver compliant affirmative action plans, and they can offer our Members other services to round out their compliance efforts.”About DirectEmployers Association
