This helps us to understand whether we are meeting our diversity goals and how we can improve our practices going forwards. For this reason, candidates are given the opportunity to provide information on their gender when applying for a job with Taboola.

Answering this question is entirely voluntary. Whether you choose to complete this will not be considered as part of hiring process and will not affect your opportunity for employment, or the terms and conditions of employment.

The information given does not form part of your application and will not be provided to hiring managers. Instead we use it to run reports that tell us the percentage of applicants identified under each of the gender, race and ethnicity categories for this position. These reports would be aggregated and so would not contain your name or identifiers. In most cases it would not be possible to identify any individual from this information.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
