Colorado OFCCP Job Posting Requirements

Colorado OFCCP job posting requirements come down to one obligation for covered federal contractors: list suitable openings in Connecting Colorado so protected veterans receive priority referral. The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, CDLE, runs this system statewide and pairs it with local Veterans Employment Specialists who work directly with federal contractors on hiring guidance. For the definition behind the rule, read our guide to the mandatory job listing.

Colorado’s State Job Bank Is Connecting Colorado

Connecting Colorado is CDLE’s statewide job portal, connecting to a database of skilled candidates that includes thousands of veterans actively looking for work. Employers can enter jobs themselves through self-registration, have workforce center staff enter jobs on their behalf, or route jobs through third-party sources such as USJobs.com or the National Labor Exchange, which CDLE tracks as a distinct employer category in its own business services policy.

How Listing Works in Connecting Colorado

A registered employer signs in, selects New Job, and enters the title, description, tasks, and required skills, completing every field marked as mandatory. Once submitted, the listing posts with Colorado’s network of Workforce Centers and stays active for 45 days unless closed or extended. Because listings expire after 45 days, contractors need a process for renewing or re-entering roles that stay open longer than that window, so the listing does not lapse while the position remains suitable.

Which Colorado Openings Must Be Listed

Covered contractors list most openings. Executive and senior management roles, positions filled from within the company, and jobs lasting three days or less fall outside the requirement. Colorado contractors hiring across Denver, Colorado Springs, and the Front Range technology corridor should confirm every site’s openings reach Connecting Colorado, and that listings are renewed before the 45-day window closes.

Required Language on Colorado Postings

Every version of a covered posting should carry the EEO tagline, VEVRAA affirmative action language, and the Section 503 disability inquiry invitation, including the Connecting Colorado entry. Keep identical wording across channels so no version of the posting drifts from the others.

Documenting Colorado Listings for an OFCCP Review

A reviewer compares your Colorado openings against proof of listing. Keep the listing date, the job order identifier, the renewal history if the role stayed open past 45 days, and the confirmation for each Connecting Colorado entry, tied to the requisition. Retain records for the required period, generally at least two years.
