Can the contractor only “consider” the resumes that have a hit ratio of 80% and above?
No. All 100 resumes would need to be “considered” to determine if they truly met the basic qualifications because (1) the search was not a data management technique since the resumes were rank ordered and the ranking was visible to the contractor; and, (2) OFCCP interprets rank ordering of resumes as an assessment of qualifications, hence, the resumes were “considered.” Note: Remember, for external resume databases, only those resumes considered AND meet the basic qualifications need to be retained.
