Overview Assessment of Outreach and Recruitment Activities & Sources Criteria Considered Assessment Detail Outreach and Recruitment Plan for the Upcoming Year Generate Assessment

Overview

As part of their annual non-discrimination plan, contractors are required to review the outreach and recruitment efforts conducted over the previous twelve months to evaluate their effectiveness in identifying and recruiting qualified Protected Veterans and Individuals with Disabilities. Contractors must document each assessment, including, at a minimum, the criteria used to evaluate the effectiveness of each effort and the contractor’s conclusion regarding whether the effort was successful. This page allows you to complete the required assessment of your organization's outreach and recruitment efforts for both Protected Veterans and Individuals with Disabilities.

The ability to switch between Protected Veterans and Individuals with Disabilities is located under the plan selection option, as shown below. 

Assessment of Outreach and Recruitment

Activities & Sources

Use the plan selector at the top of the page to choose the plan for the Annual Assessment review. The selected plan determines which GFE activities and sources are evaluated. All activities and sources are imported from the GFE Tracker and are included in the review based on the plan's personnel action date range and the dates on which the activities occurred. 

Use the [View Efforts] option, on the right side of the page, to open a display with the included activities and sources.  

Criteria Considered

The next step will be to determine the criteria that were used as part of your Annual Assessment. Recommended criteria for both assessment types have been included for selection. Additionally, the ability to create and add custom criteria has also been included. At least one criterion, default or custom, must be selected to run the assessment. 

Assessment Detail

Additional detail is required about your overall assessment of the effectiveness of your outreach efforts.

Outreach and Recruitment Plan for the Upcoming Year

In the final section of the Annual Assessment, enter the outreach and recruitment activities you plan to conduct in the upcoming year to support the hiring of Protected Veterans and Individuals with Disabilities.

Generate Assessment

After all of the required information has been added and saved, the final assessment document can be created through the [Generate Assessment] option located at the bottom of the page. Export options include Word and PDF.
