Hiring new employees provides PacifiCorp the opportunity to create and support an inclusive and welcoming workforce by recruiting with diversity, equity, and inclusion in mind. As we identify the candidate pool, we will consider not only skills and experience, but the intangible qualities a candidate brings to the position and the company. During a successful hiring process, our hiring decisions are based on an objective review of each candidate’s perspectives, experience, skills, and knowledge, and an awareness of the impact of implicit biases that can influence decision-making.
During each recruitment, we strive for a diverse pool of applicants and an unbiased evaluation of candidates. PacifiCorp demonstrates this in our hiring practices, which include:
- Posting language that accurately and specifically defines job responsibilities and candidate skills and experience requirements;
- Identification of recruiting opportunities, including job posting sites and career fairs;
- Diverse interview panels
