Can Compliance be Sexy?

We think so. For the past several months, we’ve worked with our customers, lawyers, and even an OFCCP compliance officer to design Newton’s compliance module. Today, our development team finally started implementing this feature that will make OFCCP and EEO compliance a breeze. While we’ve always allowed our customers to collect EEO data, we recently decided to expand this feature providing our customers the easiest way to collect, store and report critical information often required by the US Government. 

By mid-December, customers of Newton who are subject to laws administered by the OFCCP (Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs) will have the most advanced tracking and reporting feature available in any applicant tracking system. And, for our larger customers, those over 50 employees, Newton EEO/ OFCCP is going to be a veritable compliance blessing spitting out applicant flow logs that export to the same form required by the US Government.

So stay tuned, we’ll have more  information on this time saving feature out soon.
