Picture for the First Time
Most departments only track 10% of their recruiting activity. CivicHire Recruiting 360 captures the other 90%, from first contact to first day in uniform.
The Challenge
You Can't Fix What You Can't See
Law enforcement agencies across the country are facing unprecedented recruiting shortages. But the bigger problem isn't a lack of interested people. It's a lack of visibility into where those people are, how they're being engaged, and where they drop off.
Most departments rely on spreadsheets, word of mouth, and memory to track recruiting activity. That means command staff only ever sees about 10% of what's actually happening. The other 90% (career fair contacts, text conversations, follow-up calls, mentorship connections) lives in individual recruiters' phones and notebooks.
Without a clear picture, there's no way to know what's working, what's not, or where to invest resources. That's the staffing blind spot.

The CivicHire Approach
One System. Three Disciplines.
Recruiting isn't a single action. It's a sustained effort across three connected disciplines. CivicHire brings all three together in one place.
Attract
Reach people before they apply. Career fair capture, digital outreach, targeted campaigns that bring interested candidates into view.
Engage
Keep candidates moving forward. Texting, email sequences, call tracking, and follow-ups that prevent drop-off.
Develop
Turn contacts into officers. Mentorship connections, pre-academy prep, and development resources that increase retention.
CivicHire Recruiting 360
