Our EEO features allow you to gain a complete picture of your candidate demographics. You can both display EEO questions on your job postings and survey candidates who don't apply through your Lever-hosted job site. U.S. federal government contractors are required to collect EEO data for OFCCP compliance purposes, but if your company doesn't contract with the government you can still use this functionality to track and measure diversity hiring efforts.
Enabling EEO questions
You must be an Admin or Super Admin to configure these settings. To add EEO questions to your job postings:
- Navigate to Settings > Company > Surveys tab
- Scroll down to the 'Equal employment opportunity (EEO)' section
- Click Configure next to the 'Enable EEO questions' checkbox, and a new window will pop up
For non-U.S. federal contractors, select No under the first question. Then select which questions you' would like to display on your job posting application form. If you choose to enable the survey, the same questions will appear on the survey.
For U.S. federal contractors, select Yes under the first question. Then select whether you would like the EEO questions to be displayed in a long or shortened format.

In late April 2023, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved OFCCP’s revised Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form (CC-305) which is updated with the preferred language for disabilities and to include additional examples of disabilities. Lever has made the necessary changes to the EEO survey form to reflect OFCCP’s updates. If you are a federal contractor who has configured the EEO survey, going forward all your applicants and sourced candidates will encounter the updated version of the OFCCP survey form. |
The long version will show race descriptions on the job application form.
The short version will initially hide the descriptions and allow candidates to expand the full question.
After you have configured your federal contractor status and questions, click the blue Next button.
Designate the job posting locations for which you want to display the EEO questions. EEO questions should only be asked on U.S.-based postings.

EEO questions will be enabled by default for any newly added locations in your company settings. You will need to disable them if you don't want EEO questions to appear for a new location. |
Click the blue Update button to save your changes. The EEO questionnaire will now appear on all of your published and internal job postings.
Collecting EEO data from non-applicants
Lever's EEO features allow you to gain a complete picture of your candidate demographics. In addition to displaying EEO questions on your job postings, we enable you to survey and collect diversity information from candidates who do not apply through your Lever-hosted job site, such as sourced candidates and referrals. Learn more about how to take advantage of this functionality in our help article on sending EEO questions to sourced, referred, and agency-submitted candidates.
