Jennifer Seda is an attorney with Jackson Lewis LLP. She is a member of the firm’s Affirmative Action Practice Group in the firm’s Denver office. Jennifer represents management exclusively in all areas of employment law and specializes in applicant tracking, OFCCP audit defense, affirmative action and EEO compliance.

Jennifer specializes in assisting employers in the Internet Applicant Rule and employer applicant tracking obligations. She regularly assists employers in developing and implementing applicant tracking systems that reduce exposure under traditional employment law issues and affirmative action regulations. Jennifer recognizes the balance between the applicant tracking system’s purpose (to provide the most efficient recruiting tool available) and employer compliance obligations that may limit how employers may use the systems. Therefore, Jennifer’s proactive review of the system strikes this “balance” by implementing an OFCCP compliant system that will reduce the number of “applicants” for whom employers must maintain records and include in adverse impact analyses while still allowing employers to use their systems as a powerful recruiting tool.

Jennifer and the Affirmative Action Practice Group prepare more than 1,800 affirmative action plans annually. In addition, during the past several years, Jennifer has defended numerous OFCCP compliance audits, including on-site reviews, 1 in 25 on-sites and 1 in 50 on-sites. This high volume of OFCCP audit defense has allowed Jennifer to keep on top of the OFCCP’s rapidly evolving enforcement trends as well as develop excellent relationships with the OFCCP personnel. As a result, during the past five years, Jennifer and the Affirmative Action Practice Group have obtained Letters of Compliance in more than 99.5% of the hundreds of audits they have defended.
