The Power of a Complete Talent Profile at Redd

You’re More Than a Resume — So Show It
In federal contracting, opportunity often moves at the speed of readiness. When a new contract is awarded or a proposal is due, we don’t have time to chase details.
That’s why we built our Talent Community around one powerful idea:
The more we know, the better we can position you.
Whether it’s a mission-critical proposal or a direct hire, your completed Talent Profile is how we advocate for you — fast, clearly, and competitively.
What Goes Into Your Talent Profile?
✅ Clearance Level (e.g., Public Trust, Secret, TS/SCI)
✅ Certifications (e.g., PMP, Security+, Microsoft, Agile)
✅ Technical Skills & Platforms (e.g., Power Platform, M365, Azure, SPFx)
✅ Past Performance (Agencies, roles, contract types)
✅ Employment Preferences (Remote, hybrid, locations, full-time or contracting)
✅ Resume Upload (GovCon-optimized version preferred)
Each field you fill in gives our team the data points we need to match you to the right role — and make a strong case for you in proposals or direct outreach.
Why This Matters in GovCon
In the federal world, we often need to:
- Match your years of experience to RFP requirements
- Show your past agency or contract experience
- Verify certifications and education
- Prove you meet clearance requirements
- Filter by contract location or remote eligibility
If your profile is missing key fields, you may be skipped over — even if you’re the perfect fit.
How to Maximize Your Profile
1. Be Specific, Not General
List the actual agencies, contract names, and platforms you’ve supported. Avoid vague titles or broad skills.
2. Keep It Current
New cert? New contract? Update it. We revisit profiles all the time — especially when staffing upcoming proposals.
3. Upload Your Best Resume
Include a GovCon-ready resume that matches your profile. Use keywords, scope, and structure that align with federal contracting.
What We See from the Redd Side
We’ve seen it time and time again:
🟢 Profile 100% complete? You get called.
🔴 Profile 40% complete? We move on.
You don’t need to be perfect — just clear, complete, and current.
That one extra field could be the difference between maybe and must-have.
