Nationally, there are approximately 63,000 current openings for law enforcement officers, yet about 60% of applicants on average never complete the initial testing step in the process. Every aspect of Law Enforcement is ultimately tied to recruiting. The most important step in police recruiting is the most overlooked: professional recruitment training.

Recruiting Operations:

Recruiting operations analysis is the process of gathering and analyzing data about the recruiting process in order to identify areas for improvement. This data can be collected from various sources, including applicant tracking systems, surveys, and interviews. The analysis will help your organization identify areas where you are losing candidates in the recruiting process. Recruiting operations analysis can help your agency identify cost-saving opportunities. For example, companies may reduce the cost of recruiting by streamlining the process or using more efficient recruiting tools. Recruiting operations analysis can help companies improve the candidate experience. Your team can attract and retain more qualified candidates by identifying areas where the candidate’s experience can be improved. PHS will create a plan for your agency to achieve operational excellence so you can save money and time and hire better candidates.

Recruitment Training:

It can also teach recruiters about the latest recruiting trends and best practices, and this will provide the tools for them to find and hire the best candidates for their agency. Recruitment training will assist officers to streamline their recruiting process and save time, and this will free them up to focus on other important tasks, such as building relationships with candidates and clients.

Recruitment training can help officers to provide a better candidate experience, and this can make candidates more likely to want to work for the agency. PHS can train your recruiters or officers to leverage best practices to create a best-in-class hiring experience for your candidates.

Diversity:

Law enforcement representation in the community is important for many reasons. It is a crucial piece of building trust and rapport between law enforcement and the community. When officers reflect the community they are policing, they are more likely to understand the community’s culture, customs, and concerns. This will lead to better communication and cooperation between officers and the community, which can help to prevent crime and improve public safety. Also, representation of the community can help to attract, recruit and retain qualified candidates for law enforcement careers. At PHS, we believe that a focus must be placed on diversity outreach so that your force can look like the community it serves.

Candidate Experience:

Candidate experience is crucial in law enforcement recruitment and refers to a job seeker’s perception of the recruitment process and interaction with the employer. A positive candidate experience can lead to better retention rates, a stronger employer brand, and more qualified applicants. We emphasize that poor candidate experience can harm a department’s reputation, decrease interest in the job, and limit qualified applicants. Creating clear job descriptions, setting realistic expectations, and maintaining open communication throughout the hiring process are all ways to improve candidate experience. By providing a positive experience, departments can attract and retain top talent, build a strong employer brand, and increase community trust and respect.
