About Company President, Diedria B. Joseph

In 1995, Diedria B. Joseph established Topp Knotch Personnel, Inc. as a premier, high-caliber contract and direct hire staffing agency. As a woman and minority small business owner, Joseph has led Topp Knotch Personnel as the President/CEO with offices in Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. Over the last 14 years, TKP has acquired various governmental and commercial contracts with a cumulative $50M in revenues. With several thousand employees and placements throughout the country, Topp Knotch Personnel has excelled as a global staffing resource that is “small enough to care, large enough to deliver.”

After years of successfully operating her business in New Orleans, Joseph became passionate about extending her reach. She expanded and established offices in Houston, Jacksonville, and Conroe, TX. She also extended her company offerings; not only specializing in contract and direct hire, but also expanding into drug and background check services, on-site management, vendor management, purchasing & procurement, and payroll services. With expanded staffing services, Topp Knotch Personnel shattered the mold of a basic “temporary agency” by becoming a one-stop source for every Human Resource need.
In 2009, Joseph received her CTS (Certified Temporary Staffing Professional) certification from the National Association of Personnel Services. This distinction displays her commitment to and understanding of the staffing, recruiting, and retention of skilled individuals in the staffing industry. In addition to her certifications in the staffing industry, Joseph has also participated in various management programs throughout the country, such as IMB Executive Management Training, Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management, University of California - Anderson School of Management, and TUCKS School of Management. She is a graduate of Tulane University and the Clark Atlanta Executive Business Program.
