We hire, compensate, and interact with our team members in a waythat reflects our values – and will reflect well on yours.

Our hiring process includes in-depth questions related to the candidates or issues at hand to ensure the people representing you are truly passionate about and personally invested in your success. We also hire team members from inside the communities we are working in so they are familiar with the priorities and concerns of the local population and can immediately establish trust and relatability with residents the minute they open the door. Background checks contribute to ensuring our team is comprised
of reliable individuals.

Kolehouse Strategies believes that hard work should be rewarded with a true living wage, which is why we provide the most competitive wages possible, hire team members as W-2 employees, and provide benefits like performance related bonuses. These practices are true to our values and keep our team motivated to have high quality, results-driven interactions at every door.

Every team member who joins Kolehouse Strategies receives thorough training on canvassing technique and best practices,issue and candidate education, iPad and app training, messaging memorization, and company policy. Then they are paired with a veteran trainer to continue training in the field, and receive a performance analysis to make sure they are ready to succeed.

Daily trainings for all active staff are one of the key differentiators in our process – meaning our teams become increasingly professional, educated, and accountable message carriers for your campaign. Whether its having a candidate or campaign staff into the office for a briefing, role playing common scenarios at the door, or having our most talented staff members lead discussions about technique; our focus on continued education and perpetual improvement maximizes results for our clients.

Our canvassers collect high quality data you can trust, as each of them immediately records data from their interactions at the door using LTE- enabled iPads. GPS tracking on each device provides accountability, along with follow-up calls performed by team leaders to make sure residents had a positive interaction at the door and to answer any remaining questions.

We understand that some campaigns will need to adjust their message, targeting, and goals abruptly in order to stay ahead of the competition. With little notice, we will implement changes to the project while making sure our team is trained on the adjustments and understands the importance of the decision.

Our teams become your eyes and ears in the field, because you have access to daily reporting with valuable insights that can have a tremendous impact on your campaign’s success. Each day following canvass activity from our team, a numerical sheet providing a detailed look at canvass shifts dispatched, doors knocked, conversations held, survey question responses, and other critical statistics is compiled and sent. You daily shift summary will also include the top questions, positive comments, negative comments, and important issues mentioned by voters during that day’s activity.
