Case examples of four successful companies involved in contracting with the federal government were evaluated.

If you hire staff, you know how difficult it is to know from a resume and interview who is the best person for the job. It’s easy enough to establish credentials and even identify “hard” skills (such as keyboarding speed, mechanical skills etc).However, measuring the “soft” skills
