Maryland OFCCP Job Posting Requirements

Maryland OFCCP job posting requirements come down to one obligation for covered federal contractors: list suitable openings with the Maryland Workforce Exchange so protected veterans receive priority referral. The rule follows the work location, so any covered opening based in Maryland belongs in Maryland’s system, no matter which state hosts your headquarters. For the definition behind the rule, read our guide to the mandatory job listing.

Maryland’s State Job Bank Is the Maryland Workforce Exchange

The Maryland Workforce Exchange, usually shortened to MWE, is the online database the Maryland Department of Labor uses to match employers with job seekers. It is free for employers, both local and national, and it is the tool the state’s American Job Centers point contractors toward when they ask about VEVRAA compliance. Employers create a free account at the Maryland Workforce Exchange site using their EIN, then register as their organization’s representative before posting.

How Listing Works in the Maryland Workforce Exchange

Once registered, an employer clicks Manage Jobs, then Add a New Job Order, and enters the opening with clear skills, clearance, and location keywords. Many contractors also use the resume search and candidate matching tools while they are in the system, but the listing itself is what satisfies the VEVRAA requirement. Local American Job Centers across Maryland, including the Baltimore City Mayor’s Office of Employment Development, can post on an employer’s behalf if you email a completed job posting application instead of self-posting.

Which Maryland 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. Contractors with sites across the Baltimore-Washington corridor, from Baltimore City through Columbia and into the DC suburbs, should confirm every site’s openings reach the Maryland Workforce Exchange, since a review compares your full list of Maryland openings against your listing records.

Maryland Remote and Multi-Site Roles

A remote role routes by the location where the person will work. A role open to candidates in several states may need a listing in each of those states, including Maryland. Contractors headquartered outside Maryland but hiring for Maryland-based positions, common in the defense and federal services sector around the DC metro area, still need those openings listed in the Maryland Workforce Exchange, not just in the state where the recruiting team sits.

Required Language on Maryland Postings

Every version of a covered posting should carry the EEO tagline, VEVRAA affirmative action language, and the Section 503 disability inquiry invitation. This applies to the Maryland Workforce Exchange entry and to every other channel where the role appears, so the wording stays identical across your careers page, job boards, and the state listing.

Documenting Maryland Listings for an OFCCP Review

A reviewer compares your Maryland openings against proof of listing. Keep the listing date, the job order identifier, and the confirmation for each Maryland Workforce Exchange entry, tied to the requisition. Retain records for the required period, generally at least two years, and store them where a specific Maryland opening can be found in minutes rather than days.
