Correctional Staffing Services for Facilities Nationwide
Chronic vacancies cost more than money. They drive up overtime, burn out your staff, and create security risks that don't show up in a budget report until something goes wrong. Whalls Group provides correctional staffing services built specifically for the way government hiring actually works.
What Makes Our Correctional Staffing Services Different
Whalls Group is not a job board. We don't blast your openings across the internet and hope someone qualified applies. We build a recruitment process around your facility's specific needs, timelines, and compliance requirements.
✘ We are not a marketing agency.
Marketing is part of recruitment, but it's not the whole job. Competitors who focus on ad spend and clicks hand you a pile of resumes. We have hired staff.
✘ We are not a temp agency.
Candidates go through your hiring process and become your employees. You maintain full control over who joins your team. We just make sure the right people get there faster.
✘ Our deliverable is hires, not applicants.
Every facility we work with gets a custom recruitment plan. No templates. No one-size-fits-all playbook. What works for a 3,000-bed state facility looks nothing like what works for a 60-bed rural county jail, and we treat them accordingly.
How Our Correctional Staffing Process Works
1
Marketing →
We build and run targeted outreach to reach qualified candidates actively looking for correctional careers. This includes job postings, direct outreach, and pipeline development, not just ads.
2
Applications →
We manage application intake and initial screening so your HR team isn't buried in unqualified submissions. You only see candidates who meet your requirements.
3
Qualifying →
We work with your team through the multi-step qualification process, including background check coordination, documentation review, and pre-hire preparation. Your specialists handle what only they can handle. We handle everything else.
4
Hires ★
Candidates cross the finish line and join your team. That's the only metric that matters to us.
Whalls Group delivers correctional staffing services through a Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) model built for the compliance-heavy, timeline-sensitive reality of government hiring. The process runs end-to-end, from sourcing through hire, and integrates directly with your internal team.​
If you want to understand how RPO compares to in-house hiring before committing, Part 1 of our RPO series covers that in detail. Part 2 walks through how to choose the right partner. Part 3 covers implementation.

Correctional Staffing FAQs
How is this different from posting jobs on a hiring platform?
Job boards put your opening in front of everyone. We put your opening in front of the right people, screen them against your requirements, and move them through your process. The difference shows up in your hire numbers, not your application count.
Do we keep control of our hiring process?
Yes. Candidates become your employees and go through your process. We integrate with your team; we don't replace it. Your HR lead stays in the loop at every stage.
What kinds of facilities do you work with?
State departments of corrections, county jails, detention centers, federal facilities, law enforcement agencies, and specialized government organizations. Rural and metro, large and small.
How long does it take to see results?
It depends on the facility, the role, and the existing process. Our case studies show time-to-hire reductions of 41% to 77% compared to previous in-house processes. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your first consultation.
What does the engagement cost?
Fee structure varies by scope and facility size. We offer transparent, competitive pricing. Contact us for a quote based on your specific situation.
Are you GSA approved?
Yes. Whalls Group holds GSA approval, which means federal, state, and local agencies can engage us through a compliant, streamlined procurement process.
