Massachusetts OFCCP Job Posting Requirements
Massachusetts OFCCP job posting requirements are set by VEVRAA, which tells covered federal contractors to list most job openings with the employment service delivery system serving the job location. In Massachusetts, that system is MassHire JobQuest, offered by the MassHire Department of Career Services. Employers sign in with a MyMassGov account to post job openings, meet candidates and work with local MassHire Career Centers on screening and referrals, with priority for protected veterans. The rule covers openings in Boston, Cambridge, Worcester, Springfield, Lowell and every other Massachusetts site where you hire, apart from a few excluded roles.
Massachusetts contractors in defense, research, health care and technology often post a steady stream of openings across several offices, labs and plants. With that many requisitions, some never reach the state, and others are listed late or recorded only with a screenshot that shows no date. When a compliance review arrives, the team then has to rebuild months of history from email threads and memory. Border hiring adds risk too, because the metro areas cross state lines. A job in Lowell goes to Massachusetts while a job in Nashua goes to New Hampshire. dstribute takes that work off your plate. It connects to the ATS your team already uses, reads the location on each suitable opening, and sends Massachusetts jobs to the Massachusetts ESDS automatically. Each send is stored with the job title, location, receiving system and date for your audit file. To see how it would work across your Massachusetts sites, fill in the form beside this text.

Massachusetts Listings You Can Prove Later
Massachusetts OFCCP job posting requirements are federal, but each listing lands in MassHire JobQuest. This page covers the rule, the MassHire system, and how to manage high volumes across many sites.
The Federal Requirement
The VEVRAA regulations at 41 CFR Part 60-300 require covered contractors to list suitable openings with the state employment service for the job location so protected veterans receive priority referral. OFCCP may check these listings during a compliance evaluation.
MassHire JobQuest
MassHire JobQuest is the state job bank run by the MassHire Department of Career Services. Employers need a MyMassGov account, and local MassHire Career Centers help with screening and referrals. Our Massachusetts guide adds more background.
Openings in Scope
Covered openings include full-time, part-time and temporary roles lasting more than three days. Executive and top management roles, positions filled from within your own workforce, and jobs of three days or less are excluded. Ask counsel when a role or contract is unclear.
What to Tell MassHire
Let MassHire know that you are a federal contractor, name the hiring official for each Massachusetts location, and ask for priority referral of protected veterans.
High Volume Across Many Sites
Large requisition loads make manual listing hard to keep up. Our post on manual tracking explains where spreadsheets tend to break down.
Border Jobs in New England
Jobs in Lowell, Andover and Attleboro go to Massachusetts. Jobs in Nashua go to New Hampshire, and jobs in Providence go to Rhode Island, as our Rhode Island ESDS page explains. Teams with sites in Hartford can review the Connecticut requirements.
Records That Hold Up
A dated record is stronger than a screenshot. Our post on proof of delivery explains what to keep for each listing.

I am happy to experience that dstribute.io is more than expected. We received more candidates traffic from job postings in six weeks then we have with other boards in six months. .

Priority Referral for Protected Veterans: How State Job Listings Work
Every covered federal contractor that lists a job with a state workforce system is doing more than filling a box on a compliance form. It is asking the state to send protected veterans to the front of the referral line for that job. That request is called priority referral, and it sits at the center […]
