It Just Doesn’t Stop: More Q & A’s on the OFCCP’s Internet Applicant Definition

And you thought that perhaps we were done with this OFCCP Internet Job Applicant definition stuff.

As my oldest son used to say: “Make It Stop!”

I just did a google search using the term “OFCCP Internet Applicant” and over 49,000 hits were obtained.

I am pleased to note that an article I wrote for ERExchange.com came up #3, and George’s Employmentblawg came up as #6 (for a piece on Monster.com and what it is providing its customers).

Now, I’ve found that the OFCCP keeps adding new Q & A’s to their website. Some apparently new Q & As include:

• Are contractors required to keep the resumes of the individuals identified from a database search if they did not consider them?
• Is a telephone screen a reasonable step to determine if the individual is interested in the location, salary, or hours of the specific position before defining the individual as an Internet Job Applicant?
• Does a contractor “consider” an individual, making them an Internet Job Applicant merely by running a (basic qualifications) search that brings up the individual’s resume, if the contractor never opens the resume?

I recommend you visit the OFCCP website containing Q & As on the definition of an Internet Job Applicant by the OFCCP in order to find answers to these and other new Q & As.
