RecruitMilitary Offers Compliance Solution for Contractors Affected by New OFCCP Rule

LOVELAND, Ohio - March 27, 2014 - PRLog -- The effective date of the new regulations has arrived, and RecruitMilitary's turn-key solutions can help federal contractors get OFCCP-ready.

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs’ (OFCCP) Final Rule changing regulations implementing the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) became effective on March 24, 2014. It prohibits federal contractors and subcontractors from discriminating in employment against protected veterans, and requires these employers to take affirmative action to recruit, hire, promote, and retain these veterans. This rule strengthens the affirmative action provisions of the regulations to aid contractors in their efforts to recruit and hire protected veterans and improve job opportunities for protected veterans.

Peter Gudmundsson, president and CEO of RecruitMilitary and a former officer in the United States Marine Corps, says the compliance process can be reduced to “4 C’s”:

*  Count the number of veterans in your work force

*  Commit your company to meeting or exceeding the required benchmark

*  Connect with job seekers who are protected veterans

*  Comply by successfully recruiting sufficient numbers of those job seekers
