Chairwoman Eileen Edwards opened our meeting by introducing Debra Milstein Gardner of Workplace Dynamics who led our discussion on applicant definition as a part of affirmative action. The old guidelines were issued in 1978 and were very broad depending on the users recruitment and selection procedures. As a result, interpretation differed widely. New recruiting techniques and, in particular, the Internet, have given rise to new issues concerning definitions. Proposed new regulations will better define who an applicant is and when they become an applicant. To be an applicant, the employer must have acted to fill the position, the individual must have followed the employer requirements for application procedures and the individual has indicated an interest in a particular job.
