There are many different groups of people who can benefit from Federal Ferret's insight.

First and foremost, federal government outsiders. You can benefit from an understanding of historical hiring trends to time your job search. Federal Ferret's analysis is the antidote to the frustration of "keep an eye on USAJobs" (the federal hiring manager's refrain to questions about future hiring).

Secondly, for ambitious ladder-climbers. You saw a job advertised with an agency and have questions about your opportunities to rise up in that organization. Federal Ferret can help you figure out how many promotion opportunities have been advertised with that agency and how steep the competition for those opportunities has been historically.

For workers seeking a career change, these data can inform your path within the federal government.

For nomads seeking a worksite location change, these data can inform your next move.

For analytically-minded people who want to know if an opportunity is "rare." Come along, I'll show you the way.

Or maybe you're an academic, or a researcher, or a member of Congress? This data set and my analysis can help you find the answers you're looking for.
