šŸŒ± About Dandelion Energy

Dandelion Energy is transforming how homes are heated and cooledā€”starting from (below) the ground up.

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.

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 Laborā€™s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
