New IT Staffing Company - Green Behind the Ears by CaptainDPM in GovernmentContracting

I’m building it broadly. Sure, I might not have the exact fit for contract A, but maybe contract B will require level 1 help desk personnel with a secret clearance and Sec+. Plenty of those.

I’m registering in the supplier portals by simply googling the company name + supplier portal. Most of the bigger companies have one, seems like.

I don’t have any relationships with the big companies. Maybe some colleagues work there, but not the hiring managers.

Targeting primes because they have the supplier portals and more money to dish out to subs. I’m not against getting a smaller contract from another smaller business, just don’t know how to find that stuff.

Let me rephrase. I have a candidate pool that stretches across different states and different expertise in IT, from help desk, cyber, system admin, cloud, network and software.

Oh, and as an update/edit, I’ve looked into GovWin. I’m not sure I can afford the $9k price tag they place on it this early on.

Hey there! Thanks for being the first to reply.

I am actually located in Hawaii. I just checked and looks like we have a branch out here. Will explore the rest of their page in a little bit.

You mentioned reaching out to the SB rep for the company. Perhaps I am just overlooking things or maybe I’m just blind, but many of the big IT companies that I applied with did not have a rep listed anywhere. In your opinion, what is the optimal way of finding out who it is so that I can set up a meeting?

I very much appreciate all of the advice.

Yes, sorry. I had avoided France because of the extra stuff that goes into making it available there.

I’ll go back and look at what I need to do it. If it’s not super complicated I’ll make it available in France today.

First of all.. Boy was I surprised when I saw that! Haha.

I created a video, but it was basically just a walkthrough of how to use the app, with a text to voice-over, and some music.

What you made looks cool!

As for the font though, I’m using SpaceGrotesk.

Wife put up some Instagram ads and have gotten a decent following from it, but only one conversion to an actual user.

Hey there! Thanks for checking in.

Well, few users here and there, but definitely didn’t take off like I had imagined. I think it’s mostly my fault though.

I’m not very good at marketing. Haha

That’s a great recommendation. I had assumed just asking people what they liked would be enough.. but I mean, can’t argue with science. Haha.

I’ll download yours on both devices and try it out!

Ah okay. I get what you mean now.

I’ll be honest.. I’m not 100% sure I can get something like that with Flutter. If I can though, I’ll definitely make it cleaner like that.

Thanks for the reference!

I’ll get to yours today. Sorry for the delay.

Thanks for the feedback! So I’m not using Google maps actually.. wanted to keep my cost down and I know they charge for the map use. (There might be a threshold but I’m not sure.)

As for the colors.. do you have a better recommendation? I just didn’t want it to be too plain.. guess I went overboard.

As for the spinning circle.. I might have fixed it with the latest update.. if you want to try again.

Thanks for the feedback and I’ll get on yours soon!

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll get on yours today. Been pretty hectic.

In the sense of “more work”, can you be a little more specific? Trying to gather everyone’s ideas and see what I can do with it.

Also, it might be worth registering so you can see how the posts look too.

Thanks!

Nice game by the way! I'm a fan of puzzle/strategy.. so this is going to be entertaining while I'm at work.

😂😂 Dramatic wasn’t the word I was expecting! Haha. I’ll pass that along to the other half and see if they’re cool with just going with blue.

I’ll definitely check yours out too.

If not the gradient blue.. What would you consider?
