How one agency went from 338 applications to more than 14,000 — see the strategy behind the shift.

Correctional agencies are competing for talent against private-sector employers offering better hours, higher pay and more flexibility — and most are still using recruitment strategies built for a different labor market. The Missouri Department of Corrections faced that exact problem: rural facilities, high turnover and a workforce operating at 62% staffing. Rather than treat hiring as an administrative afterthought, MODOC rebuilt it as a strategic, ongoing function.

This white paper breaks down exactly how they did it and what happened as a result. Download it to see the same playbook other corrections agencies are using to compete for candidates before those candidates ever see a competing listing.
