About The Wilkinson Firm

TWF serves three divisions: HR Advisory (behavioral health, mental health, human services), Premium Hospitality and Event Staffing, and emerging Government Contracting. State and commercial RFPs across all three are a meaningful revenue stream we are not pursuing systematically yet.

Build TWF's response library (past performance, key personnel, technical narratives, pricing structures)
Post-submission tracking and debrief capture

Compensation

$0 base. $100-200/hr engaged. 3-5% of awarded contract value as win bonus, paid on award.
