Case Study


When a national bank identified it was not in compliance with federal recruitment regulations, it turned to HRworks for its expertise in OFCCP compliance. HRworks helped the bank gain understanding in this critical area as well as served as a compliant recruitment partner. HRworks customized a recruitment solution and provided an educational overview covering recruitment guidelines as well as the impact of non-compliance to the company both internally and externally.

HRworks' team demonstrated to the bank that waiting until an OFCCP audit to make changes can be both costly and disruptive to business. HRworks educated the bank about the potential downsides to failing an OFCCP audit, such as back pay settlements, negative publicity and a tarnished reputation. The bank realized that changes needed to be made quickly to mitigate these risks.

HRworks worked with the bank to develop a compliant recruitment practice and instituted a standardized process that would meet new recruitment recordkeeping requirements. The bank did not have the internal bandwidth to maintain growth while converting to a compliant process; therefore, HRworks supported immediate recruitment needs while simultaneously improving the bank's internal process.

HRworks continues to monitor the compliant recruiting process for the bank, informing it of changes in regulations and the industry. Additionally, HRworks is the exclusive compliant search firm providing the bank with the talent to fuel its growth nationwide.
