Navigating OFCCP’s Item 21: Recruitment Documentation, Artificial Intelligence, and what we are seeing in Audits, oh my!
DEAMcon25 | Thursday, May 22, 2025 | 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM
In the Fall of 2023, the Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) introduced Item 21 in their audit scheduling letter, requiring contractors to submit information on recruitment, screening, and hiring practices, including the use of AI and other technology-based selection procedures. This session will outline OFCCP's expectations for the types of materials contractors should provide during audits and offer practical advice on the use of AI in recruitment, highlighting potential risks and trends observed in OFCCP audits. DCI's Joanna Colosimo and Chris Liakos will also facilitate a Q&A session to engage with the audience.
