Ohio Pen/10213546

COLUMBUS, Ohio - OhioPen -- Joe Knows Energy, a leader in oil and gas and utilities safety infrastructure inspection staffing and recruiting, has announced their diversity, equity, and inclusion program with new initiatives at all stages of staffing for 2023.

The firm has developed new initiatives for the year focused on expanding their recruiting audiences, generating awareness about career opportunities, and supporting team members with skill development, engagement, mentorship, and resources.

For nearly a decade, Joe Knows Energy has worked extensively to create and perfect the company's proprietary High-Performance Program. The program's primary feature is a "4-dimensional" screening and selection tool designed to match candidates to roles and companies based on how they think and behave, technical skills, and other factors. This program, according to the company, has been proven to provide a neurodiverse group of candidates while ensuring a blind hiring process that encourages diversity.

  • Training and mentorship programs to help upskill candidates and help them further develop their careers;
• • Internal culture initiatives to promote their values and encourage development, growth, integrity, and inclusion amongst employees and candidates; and
  • Awareness and recruiting strategies developing relationships and generating career awareness to expand their recruiting pool and encourage more diversity in the industry.

When asked about the initiative, founder, Dan Lorenz, stated, "DEI is a concept and a way of doing business that we've always embraced, even before the term "DEI" became a part of our industry vernacular. Our focus on High-Performance, People-First Culture highlights diversity – for demographically diverse groups and diversity of thought. We're deeply committed to building a culture that creates a just and fair workplace for everyone. It's something that aligns with our values and means a lot to me - and to our leadership team."
