What changes does the NPRM propose to the current mandatory job listing requirement?
The NPRM proposes clarifying OFCCPs existing mandatory job listing requirement by requiring contractors to provide job vacancy information to the appropriate employment service in the way that the employment service needs it in order to include the job in their database. Contractors, or privately run job services or exchanges acting on behalf of contractors, must also comply with this requirement in order to satisfy their job listing obligations. The NPRM also proposes requiring contractors to inform state employment services of their status as a Federal contractor, request priority referrals of protected veterans for job openings at each location in the state, and provide the contact information for the hiring official at each location in the state. Similarly, if contractors use any outside job search companies to assist with hiring, the NPRM proposes requiring them to provide the state employment service with contact information for these companies.
