The OFCCP released the final definition of what is an "applicant". Effective February 6, 2006, an Internet applicant is one that meets the following criteria:
1. The individual submits an expression of interest in employment through the Internet.
2. The company considers the individual for employment for a particular position.
3. The expression of interest indicates that they meet the basic qualifications of the position.
4. No indication was received that they are no longer is interested in the position.
If all of these conditions are met, you have an applicant and are required, by law, to collect and track their EEO information.
