how contracts are found
LockedHi, how does a person get contract work. I’ve worked for a few companies that have had clients that they perform services for. I’ve always wondered how these companies find these other companies. Every time I’ve googled contracting it pulls up things like state or perhaps federal government. These companies that I’ve performed contract work for have clients that appeared to be more in the private sector or, maybe some non-profit. They were companies like pharmacies, hospitals, businesses etc. None of the work seemed to be big government like what i pull up when I google. I’ve been going to some of these companies’ websites. Of all the many companies’ websites I’ve been to the only thing I’ve ever seen is when the company itself is looking to hire employees. I’ve never seen a company advertising for contracts, so I can’t figure out how these companies that get contract work even find the opportunities. My best guess is maybe they go to the company website and instead of looking at the job opening section like what most would be employees do they just email the corporate office and ask them if they have contracting opportunities.
