Jesse Madden, Communications Operation Manager
Warren County Communications Center
We recently had an influx of lateral applicants because they wanted to work somewhere that made their wellness a priority.

I love it when something just works! Engage’s candidate pre-screening has saved me hours finding qualified applicants.
Gareth Williams, Chief PST, County 9-1-1 Coordinator
Union County Police Regional Communications Center
A large part of winning the appeal (in a case to determine just cause for termination) was the user-friendly setup of PowerReady. Without the ease of use, our CTOs wouldn’t have been as comfortable doing the documentation and would’ve been less likely to utilize the system to its full advantage.

PowerEngage constantly reminds our 311 staff how much citizens appreciate the work they do.
