Discover the DE Difference
By turning insights into innovation, we take it up a notch in all areas of business to make an extraordinary impact on your day-to-day.
Developed for Employers, By Employers
We’re not a vendor offering your organization “check-the-box” solutions; we are an extension of your team, helping to make your job easier. DirectEmployers is a nonprofit Member-owned and -managed association formed in 2001 by 14 leading Fortune 500 companies searching for a way to reduce recruiting costs, while regaining ownership of their recruitment brand.
Association Growth
Through collaboration with employers, DirectEmployers developed proprietary technology that has since led to the creation of our flagship product—a federal contractor compliance solution that assists with the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Program’s (OFCCP) VEVRAA mandatory listing requirements and Section 503 regulations. Now with over 1,000 employers varying in industry and size, we’ve expanded our Member benefits to include online recruiting solutions, the Partner Relationship Manager (PRM), networking and educational opportunities and so much more.
Our Mission
To provide superior HR technology and expert guidance that can be leveraged by:
- Employers to solve critical OFCCP compliance and talent acquisition challenges
- State Workforce Personnel to better connect employers and job seekers
- Diversity Partners to provide an improved and accessible platform that fosters information and data sharing
Commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging
At DirectEmployers, we recognize cultural differences drive innovation and broaden perspectives. We strive to help employers hire and retain diverse talent by understanding the power of inclusivity. By reinforcing these same principles, we remain committed to removing barriers to employment and creating equitable environments that support a sense of belonging and allow employees to bring their whole selves to work.
