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. DirectEmployers Association Member John Whalin of United Airlines recently participated in a panel discussion at the 78th Annual NASWA Conference to share how he has benefited from the National Labor Exchange (NLx). Check out this video for a brief recap of the session’s highlights:

Key Takeaways of the NLx Partnership:

  • It benefits federal contractors because employers can get away from time spent on a website and invest more resources into outreach efforts required by the new regs.
  • Employers don’t have to post manually to all 50 states – the appropriate jobs are distributed to the relevant sites automatically through the NLx.
  • Employers and state workforce representatives, along with NASWA and DirectEmployers Staff, direct the activities of the NLx partnership via the NLx Operations Committee.
