Recruiter Training
Mike Kade Agency provides law enforcement recruiter training and helps police departments improve their hiring processes. We rank amongst the most advanced law enforcement recruiting agencies in the nation. No other agency comes close to matching the innovative services and solutions that our team of experts provides.
​
We’ll teach your department how to recruit, hire, and retain the best personnel needed to service a safe, supportive community. Learn how to connect your law enforcement or detention agency with qualified candidates and fill your hiring pool with staff that matches your agency's culture. Mike Kade gives your agency a unique angle. You can count on us to show you how to attract your next generation of exceptional police officers and LEO personnel.
Setting up stands and gimmicky cardboard cutouts at job fairs is insufficient to meet the ever-increasing demands of our police departments. Because of this Mike Kade works with police departments, federal agencies, and correctional facilities to help agencies evolve their recruitment and hiring process; we accomplish this through modern innovation and strategic recruiting methods.
​
Let’s face it—the media has given law enforcement agencies a bad name. Your law enforcement agency is competing with every business in your state for qualified candidates. That is where we come in. Our team of highly qualified experts will conduct data-driven research and planning to produce an exceptionally high-quality recruiting campaign and land you a plethora of candidates who fit your agency’s vision.
​
Most agencies are simply too large, bureaucratic, and stretched to effectively express their career benefits to potential candidates and the community. It's highly likely that the current officer you call a “recruiter” is not an actual recruiter. Instead, they are likely an active officer assigned to a recruiting detail. This is absurdly inefficient as that same officer likely has up to 10 other assignments that are pulling them away from recruiting quality candidates. This is not how successful organizations manage to recruit dedicated talent. You should not settle for inefficiency by burdening a small group of already over-tasked officers with recruiting. You need a trained recruiting specialist to handle your recruiting; otherwise, your department will either continue to fall short of its recruiting goals or be forced to settle with taking on subpar candidates. Our team comprises specialists who can identify your ideal candidate and custom-make recruiting plans that will make a future with your agency seem irresistible.
​
Your law enforcement agency should speak with Mike Kade. Police departments and federal agencies are short-staffed nationwide, and your agency is most likely not an exception. Recruiting has tanked, further intensified by law enforcement's poor retention numbers nationally. It's time to do away with the ineffectiveness of your department's old, outdated recruiting methods. We will train you in modernizing and innovating your recruiting process. Otherwise, you risk continuing to fall short of your manpower needs.
​
Mike Kade has over 15 years of experience in law enforcement and corrections and 10 years helping businesses realize their full potential. Our team understands and is passionate about optimizing our law enforcement agencies.

The benefits of working with Mike Kade and his team of professionals are almost too many to name. Our team is passionate about teaching you to how to start:
Immediately filling your application pools
Landing the right candidates for your agency’s missions
Saving money by becoming more effective with using your agency’s resources
​
Moreover, allowing our team to revitalize your means of recruiting will not only attract more manpower, but it will also decrease your agency’s mandatory overtime. This allows your staff to go home to their families at a reasonable hour every night, thus boosting your agency’s morale.
Working with Mike Kade and his team of experts is not only more effective than traditional recruiting methods, but it is also cheaper because it allows your law enforcement officers to focus on what they are actually trained to do, serve and protect the community.
