In my 40+ years in the Human Resource and HR-related industry, I have never seen a subject as misunderstood, misinterpreted, or misreported as the closing of America’s Job Bank (AJB) and its impact on OFCCP compliance.

The “world of blogs” where everyone instantly becomes an industry expert on everything regardless of their background, training, or in some cases lack of good judgement and common sense, has made the dissemination of mis- information about the closing of AJB and its impact on OFCCP compliance a daily event.

We do not claim to be OFCCP compliance experts. In fact, the deeper we got into the subject, the more we realized we needed to engage experts and knowledgeable consultants to lead us through all of the compliance- related issues. And that’s exactly what we did! DirectEmployers Association will be forever grateful for the invaluable contributions of David Morman and James Vollman, workforce experts and former key managers at the U.S. Department of Labor. Both have extensive experience managing AJB and working with various government agencies such as VETS, OFCCP, DoD, and others.

I am extremely proud of the leadership role DirectEmployers Association has taken in developing a low-cost, employer-funded replacement for AJB and providing OFCCP compliance for our member companies. It would not have been possible without the professional guidance and expert advice we have received from these two outstanding gentlemen.
