OutSolve is DirectEmployers’ preferred partner for affirmative action development, pay equity, EEO-1/VETS, and DEI solutions, and DirectEmployers will be OutSolve’s exclusive partner for VEVRAA job listing and recruitment marketing services.
OutSolve and DirectEmployers Association announces today that they have entered into a strategic partnership agreement that is expected to provide one-stop Office of Federal Contract Compliance Program’s (OFCCP) compliance solutions. The partnership gives DirectEmployers’ Members access to OutSolve’s strategy-led enterprise affirmative action plan development services, along with pay equity, EEO-1/VETS, DEI, and ESG solutions. DirectEmployers Association, a nonprofit association that provides OFCCP VEVRAA mandatory listing services, will also become OutSolve’s exclusive VEVRAA mandatory job listing partner, offering these services to OutSolve customers.
“This strategic alliance enables the combined customer base, and the industry, to have a one-stop solution that addresses all aspects of OFCCP compliance” said Jeremy Mancheski, President and Founder of OutSolve. “From AAP plan formation to VEVRAA job listing, and everything in between, the DirectEmployers and OutSolve collaboration will provide dependable, and holistic services that touch every stage of the compliance lifecycle. 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.”
