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.
