The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) have announced a new joint initiative designed to “reimagine hiring and recruitment practices in ways that advance equal employment opportunity and help provide access to good jobs for workers.”
According to a joint announcement from the agencies, the new Hiring Initiative to Reimagine Equity, or “HIRE,” promises to engage a “broad array of stakeholders,” including employer, civil rights, and worker communities, to “identify strategies to remove unnecessary barriers to hiring and to promote effective, job-related hiring and recruitment practices to cultivate a diverse pool of qualified workers.”
