Nearly a year ago, DirectEmployers Association announced an alliance with employment law attorney John C. Fox to provide interpretation and clarify the many misunderstandings related to the new OFCCP regulations for VEVRAA and Section 503. With over 35 years of experience as one of the nation’s premier employment law experts, Fox brings innate knowledge of wage-hour and employment discrimination class actions, discrimination law, OFCCP law and procedure, employment contract disputes and wrongful termination to the Association.
John feels strongly about the value that DirectEmployers provides to federal contractors through its unique partnership with the National Association of State Workforce Agencies (NASWA), compliance solutions, SEO and more. Hear more in this unique unplugged interview:

One of the truly unique aspects of DirectEmployers Association is how we help bridge the gap between OFCCP compliance and recruitment. This is accomplished through technology, services, partnerships and thought leadership, including education and outreach at industry events.

Consider the cost of making the wrong hire. In an online article posted on HumanResources.about.com, “The U.S. Department of Labor calculates that it costs one-third of a new hire’s annual salary to replace him. These figures include money spent on recruitment,...
Every day, our Members juggle multiple Affirmative Action Plans, career site launches, employer branding campaigns, veteran hiring initiatives, OFCCP audits and more with limited budgets and resources. Most of the time, these efforts go unnoticed.
It’s time for a change and our chance to divvy out a little recognition, regardless of company size or budget. DirectEmployers would like to acknowledge and share your hard work via the DirectEmployers Member Awards Competition.
The recruitment process is tough. Really tough. There is competition at every turn, making each candidate feel like they are walking through a shiny, branded, field of recognizable companies. However, to you the employer on a staffing quest, it looks like a minefield,...
