The problem
Most agencies
have no idea
Government job boards. Repurposed corporate software. Frustrating applicant tracking systems. And endless spreadsheets. A stack of tools built for other jobs, none of them built for yours — and none of them talking to each other.

Meet StrataOne operating system for public safety staffing
Eight connected capabilities, one pipeline. Strata gives command staff control of recruiting from first contact to career outcomes — and gets smarter with every class you run.
Single source of truth
01 · Pipeline Visibility & Control
See and control the whole pipeline
Run the pipeline your agency actually uses — and read your staffing position straight off a screen.
✓
Custom workflow stages
Build the pipeline to match your real process — application, background, poly, academy — so candidates move through the steps your agency actually uses, not a generic vendor template.
✓
Real-time candidate status
See exactly where every applicant stands at any moment, so command staff read the staffing answer off a screen instead of chasing it down.

02 · Stopping the Drop-Off
Find the leak. Keep recruits warm.
Pinpoint where candidates fall out, and give the ones you want a reason to stay.
✓
Stage-level attrition tracking
Pinpoint the exact stage where candidates stall or quit, so you fix the leak instead of guessing why the class came up short.
✓
Candidate experience & engagement
Give applicants a fast, responsive, respectful process with timely updates and no dead air, so good recruits stay warm instead of drifting to a faster agency.
03 · Forecasting & Planning
Walk in with a number, not a hope
Project who reaches the street and know exactly where the process drags.
✓
Headcount & class forecasting
Project how many recruits reach the academy and the street, so you walk into a budget meeting with a defensible number instead of a hope.
✓
Time-to-hire analytics
Measure how long candidates spend at each stage, so you know where the process drags and what it is costing you in lost applicants.

04 · Targeting the Right Recruits
Spend effort on the recruits who make it
Screen for who succeeds at your agency, and report it up without losing a week.
✓
Ideal candidate profiling
Define and screen against the traits of the recruits who actually succeed at your agency, so you spend effort on the applicants most likely to make it to the street and stay there.
✓
Command staff dashboards & stakeholder reporting
Give leadership a top-level view of pipeline health and generate the numbers for councils, budget hearings, and grants on demand, so reporting stops eating your recruiters’ week.
05 · Process Accountability
Nothing sits in limbo
Route the work to the right person and enforce the steps under pressure.
✓
Auto-assignment & task ownership
Route candidates and tasks to the right person automatically, so nothing sits in limbo because no one knew it was theirs.
✓
Stage-gated checklists
Enforce that each step is complete before a candidate advances, so background packets and requirements don’t get skipped under pressure.

06 · Beyond the Hire: Retention & Outcomes
Connect who you hired to how they did
Follow recruits into their careers and get ahead of attrition.
✓
Post-hire career tracking
Follow recruits past the academy into their career, so you connect who you recruited to how they actually performed and recruit smarter next cycle.
✓
Retention insights
Surface the patterns behind who stays and who leaves, so you stop treating attrition as a surprise and start getting ahead of it.
07 · The Intelligence Layer: Smarter Every Cycle
Your numbers, sharper every class
Every class teaches the system your real conversion — so each cycle sharpens the next.
✓
Predictive pipeline modeling
Every class you run teaches the system what your real conversion and drop-off rates look like, so forecasts stop being industry averages and start being your numbers — and they get more accurate with each cycle.
✓
Closed-loop recruiting intelligence
Strata connects who you recruited to who made it through the academy, stayed, and performed, then feeds that back into ideal-candidate targeting, so each hiring cycle sharpens the next instead of starting from scratch.

08 · In the Field: The Recruiter App
The pipeline in your recruiters’ hands
Capture and advance prospects on the spot, before the lead goes cold.
✓
Recruiter field app
Put the pipeline in your recruiters’ hands at job fairs, campuses, and academies — capture prospects, log interactions, and move candidates forward on the spot, so leads get entered while they are hot instead of dying on a business card in a glovebox.
✓
Candidate communications hub
Calls, texts, and emails happen inside the app and log automatically to the candidate’s record, so every conversation is captured and the whole file stays organized in one place.

The difference
Today vs. Strata
What you run today
Spreadsheets · NeoGov · Guardian · Workday
Custom Workflow & Pipeline
✗NeoGov / generic stages built for civil-service forms, or other uses - not hiring!
✓Your process, your stages, one pipeline — every candidate tracked from application to academy and beyond.
Command Staff Picture
✗Workday style reports built for HR, not command staff or leadership.
✓Live authorized vs. filled vs. vacant, any time
Academy Class Fill
✗You learn the class is short after it's too late.
✓Forecasted fill with confidence ranges, months ahead of time.
Recruiter Performance
✗No accountability. No set goals or KPIs. Nobody owns the candidate
✓Every candidate owned, followed up, and measured. Recruiter performance tracked.
Candidate Experience
✗Application portals feel like a DMV form - major turn off!
✓A fast, guided journey that respects the recruit’s time and is mobile optimized.
Time to Next Step
✗Days of silence; Guardian background handoffs stall - applicants lose interest.
✓Automated follow-up the second a stage clears. Applicants in constant contact.
Lead-Source ROI
✗Clicks and impressions you can’t bank
✓Know where hires originated from, which strategies & campaigns produce actual results. Let data drive strategy.
Process Bottlenecks
✗You feel slow but can’t prove where
✓Time-in-stage exposed for every step
Staffing Forecast
✗A guess that ages out in a month
✓12–36 month attrition-adjusted projection for overall agency staffing levels & academy.
Attrition Early Warning
✗You find out at the exit interview
✓At-risk officers flagged months before they quit with course correction.
Career Development
✗Ad-hoc, if at all. Depends on the supervisor.
✓Structured growth paths that give people a reason to stay
Attrition Insights
✗Anecdotes and hallway theories. Cliché answers like "pay" or "bad culture."
✓Attrition drivers modeled across the workforce - get the real no B.S. answer.
Single Source of Truth
✗Does not exist. Any data is fragmented across disconnected tools.
✓Recruit, develop & retain in one operating picture, visible to all.
User Experience
✗Employees use these systems begrudgingly.
✓User-friendly, intuitive design people actually want to use.
Your current systems simply tell you who applied. Strata tells you whether your staffing strategy is working.
Recruit. Develop. Retain.
