Is there a new requirement under the Internet Applicant rule that the contractor must be able to identify, where possible, the gender, race, and ethnicity of each Internet Applicant?
The obligation to solicit demographic information from job applicants is not new. The Internet Applicant rule adds that a contractor is required to solicit and collect such data from each applicant or Internet Applicant, whichever is applicable to the particular position. Voluntary self-reporting or self-identification is still generally the preferred method for collecting data on race, ethnicity, and gender, but in situations where self-reporting is not practicable or feasible, observer information may be used to identify race, ethnicity, and gender.
