Must a contractor maintain expressions of interest in employment made through the Internet that do not meet the other three criteria contained in the definition of “Internet Applicant”?
No. Under section 60-1.12(a), contractors avoid this burden even if there are large numbers of expressions of interest, because contractors are not required to retain records regarding individuals who were never considered for a particular position. The rule generally requires a contractor to retain all the expressions of interest it considered, even those of individuals who are not Internet Applicants. However, when a contractor searches an external database, it is required to maintain only copies of resumes of those job seekers who met the basic qualifications for the position and who are considered by the contractor. Further, a contractor must retain records of all the basic qualifications used to develop a pool of Internet Applicants.
