OFMQ offers equal employment opportunity to all persons without regard to race, creed, color, sex, age, national origin, religion, physical or mental disabilities or veteran status. No applicant is to be discriminated against or given preference because of these factors. This applies to recruiting, hiring, promotion, upgrading, layoffs, compensation, benefits and all other privileges, terms and conditions of employment. OFMQ will make reasonable accommodations for individuals with known disabilities unless doing so would result in undue hardship.

OFMQ will not accept resumes that are unsolicited or fail to meet the minimum qualifications as defined by the open position. To be considered as an applicant, you must identify the position you are applying for by title in your resume or cover letter. Failure to identify the position by title or failure to meet the minimum requirements of the open position will result in applicant not being treated as a qualified candidate.

Applicant Definition

According to the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), all federal contractors and subcontractors should collect and analyze information on applicants and hiring practices. To better assist Oklahoma Foundation for Medical Quality on determining who is to be considered an applicant, the following criteria and guidelines are used to establish the definition.

"An applicant is a person who (1) expresses interest, (2) in an open employment opportunity (3) by properly completing the application process; and (4) is minimally qualified."

All four criteria must be met before an individual is to be considered an applicant and included in the reporting data.
