Mission

See Schedule O

  • DirectEmployers Association, Inc., a membership association, offers innovative solutions for human resources departments, which include learning and development, recruitment marketing and creative design, and custom software and application development. At the core of our services, DirectEmployers offers job listing services that satisfy VEVRAA mandatory job listing requirements and provide the necessary reporting and tracking capabilities for proof of delivery in OFCCP compliance evaluations. In addition to the VEVRAA compliance services offered, DirectEmployers Membership expands on services further to provide outreach management, peer-to-peer networking and education, professional development, and ongoing support and training all built into the cost of Membership. DirectEmployers Association, Inc. has done the legwork to expand employer access to national, state, and community-based organizations through a careful mix of proprietary partnerships and alliances. DirectEmployers Association, Inc. Members can build more robust talent pipelines that nurture a diverse workforce with this highly targeted reach.DirectEmployers Association, Inc. also offers VocRehab+, an add-on solution utilized outside of the scope of Membership. Also, under DirectEmployers' family of brands sits Recruit Rooster, a wholly-owned subsidiary of DirectEmployers Association, Inc. Recruit Rooster offers fully customized recruitment marketing solutions, including career site hosting, design, development, creative services (recruitment videos and imagery), accessibility audits and consultations, and a suite of talent engagement tools. Under Recruit Rooster, going one step down is RocketBuild, a custom software and application development solution.As part of the Association's history and technological growth, DirectEmployers created and continues to power the National Labor Exchange (NLx), an alternative to commercial job boards, designed to increase labor market efficiency and decrease recruiting costs while generating job opportunities for displaced workers. In March 2007, DirectEmployers teamed with the National Association of State Workforce Agencies (NASWA) to provide job seekers, employers, and states a cost-effective transition from America's Job Bank (AJB) as the AJE was discontinued in June 2007 by the U.S. Department of Labor. The National Labor Exchange provides a wide range of employment services to participating state workforce agencies, from job listing distribution to and from state employment websites to participation in the National Labor Exchange with other states. DirectEmployers Member jobs are electronically acquired directly from their corporate career sites and made available to veterans through VetCentral, providing participating Members with a solution that complies with regulations enforced by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. VetCentral is fully integrated into DirectEmployers National Labor Exchange, acting as a DirectEmployers Association Inc 30-0008235 distribution point for federal contractors. Thereby, Member jobs are listed with the appropriate employment service delivery system (ESDS), and records are maintained for each transaction, so its employer members comply with VEVRAA mandatory job listing requirements. Due to the technology and resources available, the National Labor Exchange is a tool used for compliance and recruitment activities.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Not present in the most recent drop.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
