Virginia OFCCP Job Posting Requirements

Virginia OFCCP job posting requirements point to the Virginia Workforce Connection, the state’s free online labor exchange. Covered federal contractors list their Virginia openings there so protected veterans receive priority referral. Virginia is home to many federal contractors and subcontractors, especially in defense, technology, and professional services, so this requirement reaches a large share of employers in the state. For the definition behind the rule, read our guide to the mandatory job listing.

The Virginia Workforce Connection Is the Virginia System

The Virginia Workforce Connection is free for employers, who register at VAWC.Virginia.gov by selecting the employer option. Agency roles are split. The Virginia Employment Commission administers unemployment insurance, Virginia Works provides resources and recruiting solutions for employers, and the Workforce Connection is the shared tool both use. Because responsibilities have been reorganized, confirm the current registration path before you set up your account.

What Employers Can Do in the Workforce Connection

Employers post jobs online and decide whether to display their contact information. They can schedule automated candidate searches with the Virtual Recruiter, link their recruiting website to the jobs they post, and use a shortcut to search for qualified veterans. Whatever display option you choose, make sure the state holds the contact details it needs to make priority referrals.

Which Virginia 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. Everything else belongs in the Workforce Connection, including hourly, technical, and professional roles at every Virginia site.

Virginia Roles Recruited From Washington, DC and Maryland

Many contractors with Virginia sites recruit through teams headquartered in the District of Columbia or Maryland. Location controls. A Virginia-based opening belongs in Virginia’s system regardless of where the recruiting team sits, and a remote role routes by the location where the person will work. Confirm that every Virginia opening handled by an out-of-state team is reaching the system.

Required Language on Virginia 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 Workforce Connection entry. Keep identical wording across channels so no version drifts from the others.

Documenting Virginia Listings for an OFCCP Review

A reviewer compares your Virginia openings against proof of listing. Keep the listing date, the job identifier, and the confirmation for each Workforce Connection entry tied to the requisition. Retain records for the required period, generally at least two years, and store them where any Virginia opening can be pulled in minutes.
