Federal Contract Wins

What this is

Every time the US government pays a company to build something, run something or research something, by law it has to publish the payment: who got it, how much, which agency, and what the work is.

Why it is a hiring signal

A contract win is a hiring event that has not happened yet. The company has just taken on work it does not currently have the staff to deliver, and it has a start date it cannot move. You are reaching out in the gap between winning the work and building the team.
