Texas OFCCP Job Posting Requirements

Texas OFCCP job posting requirements center on WorkInTexas.com, the state job site run by the Texas Workforce Commission. Covered federal contractors list their Texas openings there so protected veterans receive priority referral. The Commission publishes its own guidance for federal contractors on how the site supports VEVRAA and Section 503, which makes Texas one of the easier states to follow step by step. If the term is new, read our overview of the mandatory job listing first.

WorkInTexas.com Is the Texas System

WorkInTexas.com is free for employers. The Texas Workforce Commission maintains it as the main tool behind the state’s Employment Service program, and employers of every size use it to post jobs and search resumes. Registration asks for business identification such as an EIN. Local Workforce Solutions offices across Texas also assist employers who want help getting listings into the system.

What the Texas Workforce Commission Asks Federal Contractors to Do

The Commission’s guidance for federal contractors points to a short set of steps. List open jobs with the Commission in the manner and format it permits. Give the state contact information for the hiring official at each of your Texas locations, your status as a federal contractor, your request for priority referrals, and details of any outside job search company you use. In WorkInTexas.com, that translates to a separate user account for each hiring official under your employer account, with name, email address, and phone number. When you create a posting, check the box marked Federal Contractor Job Listing. Priority referral of protected veterans is automatic once the job is listed.

Language Texas Postings Should Carry

The guidance tells contractors to include their equal opportunity clause and the phrase VEVRAA Federal Contractor in the job description of each federal contractor posting. The same equal opportunity clause supports the Section 503 requirement to state that you are an equal opportunity employer of individuals with disabilities. Keep identical wording on every other channel where the role appears so no version of the posting drifts from the others.

Which Texas 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. Texas contractors often hire across Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio at the same time, and every covered opening in those markets belongs in WorkInTexas.com, even when a central team handles the recruiting.

Texas Multi-Site Hiring and Hiring Official Accounts

Because the Commission wants contact information for the hiring official at each Texas location, staffing changes create compliance work. When a hiring manager leaves or a site changes leadership, update the user accounts so the state always holds a current contact. Keep an internal roster of Texas locations, hiring officials, and account owners, and review it on a set schedule.

Documenting Texas Listings for an OFCCP Review

A reviewer compares your Texas openings against proof of listing. Keep the listing date, the job identifier, and the confirmation for each WorkInTexas.com entry tied to the requisition, along with your roster of hiring official accounts. Retain records for the required period, generally at least two years, and store them where any Texas opening can be pulled in minutes.
