Subject: Seeking Advice on Government Recruitment Contracts
Hello everyone,
I hope this is the right community for my question! I’ve gained some experience in recruitment and am exploring low-value government contracts. Do you think it would be beneficial to partner with another agency to increase my chances of securing more contracts, or should I pursue this on my own?
I appreciate any insights you can share!

It sounds like you’re considering some strategic options for entering the government contracting space with your recruitment experience. Here are a few factors to consider for both approaches:
Partnering with Another Agency:
1. Leverage Expertise: Collaborating with an established agency can provide you with valuable insights and experience in navigating government contracts.
2. Shared Resources: You can combine resources, networks, and capabilities, which might make you more competitive in bidding for contracts.
3. Increased Credibility: Partnering with an agency that already has a track record in government contracting can boost your credibility in the eyes of procurement officers.
4. Risk Mitigation: Sharing the risks and responsibilities of contract fulfillment can reduce the pressure on you as you get started.
Going at it Alone:
1. Full Control: You have complete autonomy over your business decisions and strategies, which can be appealing if you want to build your brand.
2. Potentially Higher Profits: If you secure contracts independently, you’ll retain all the profits rather than sharing them with a partner.
3. Building Experience: Managing government contracts on your own can lead to valuable learning experiences that can benefit your business in the long run.
Ultimately, the best approach depends on your specific situation, including your resources, experience, and business goals. If you’re new to government contracts, a partnership could provide a smoother entry point. However, if you have sufficient expertise and confidence in your capabilities, going solo might be the way to go. Good luck!
