Federal Staffing
Federal Staffing as a Service
Technical and professional recruiting support for federal contractors, subcontractors and public-sector programs.
Career Source Group helps government-serving organizations source, qualify and mobilize talent for contract labor categories across cybersecurity, cloud, data, software engineering, program delivery and mission support. We support individual requisitions and high-volume hiring programs through one accountable delivery team.
CSG recruiting leadership brings prior experience supporting federal contractor staffing requirements. We combine that experience with technical recruiting depth, structured candidate qualification and scalable delivery across the United States.
The problem
Federal hiring is a requirements problem before it is a sourcing problem.
Every submission must align to the labor category, required experience, certifications, work location, citizenship or work authorization conditions, investigation or security eligibility, and the customer's submission format. CSG builds those requirements into the recruiting workflow before sourcing begins — which gives program leaders a cleaner pipeline and fewer rejections at submission, onboarding and credentialing.
Services
Workforce support for federal programs
Federal IT Staffing
Contract, contract-to-hire where permitted, and direct-hire recruiting for technical labor categories supporting civilian and defense-related programs.
Cleared Talent Recruiting

Clearance, suitability, citizenship, certification and location requirements vary by agency, program, labor category and contract. CSG recruits against the requirement supplied by the customer and does not represent that every federal role carries the same investigation or security eligibility.
Delivery
A repeatable federal recruiting workflow
Requirements intake
We convert the requisition, statement of work or labor category into a controlled recruiting matrix.
Compliance alignment
We document the stated citizenship, work authorization, suitability, security eligibility, certification, location and employment-model requirements.
Specialized sourcing
Recruiters work by practice area and target active, relevant talent rather than relying on a general resume database.
Candidate qualification
We validate technical alignment, availability, compensation, work location, communication and supporting documentation before submission.
Customer submission
Candidate packages follow the customer's resume format, submission limit, rate structure and required representations.
Mobilization support
CSG coordinates offer acceptance, employment documentation, onboarding milestones and customer-directed credentialing steps.
Pipeline reporting
The customer receives a weekly view of submissions, interviews, offers, starts, aging, constraints and next actions.
Surge recruiting
Federal Hiring Mobilization Pod
When a contract award, transition or program expansion creates dozens of openings, CSG can deploy a dedicated Federal Hiring Mobilization Pod. The pod creates one intake standard, assigns recruiting ownership by labor category and gives the customer a consolidated pipeline instead of thirty independent searches.
Pod role
Client & Delivery Lead
Owns customer communication, priorities, escalation, weekly reporting and delivery accountability.
Federal Program Recruiter
Controls labor-category requirements, candidate-package quality and program-level recruiting strategy.
Technical Recruiters
Source and qualify candidates by cybersecurity, cloud, software, data, PMO and operations workstreams.
Sourcing Specialists
Build active and passive pipelines, market maps and backup benches for repeat labor categories.
Compliance Coordinator
Tracks customer-required documents, work authorization, screening status, onboarding dependencies and expiration dates.
Recruiting Operations Analyst
Maintains the requisition matrix, dashboard, aging report, conversion metrics and action log.
The pod size is adjusted after CSG reviews the 30 role inventory, hiring deadlines, clearance mix, labor-category repetition, submission limits and expected interview capacity.
Why CSG
What a federal program actually gets.
Technical specialization across cyber, cloud, data, software, AI, project delivery and GRC.
A controlled intake process that distinguishes skills, certifications, suitability and security requirements.
Delivery capacity for individual searches, recurring labor categories and 30 role surge programs.
Candidate qualification that includes compensation, location, availability, communication and documentation readiness.
One accountable contact and one consolidated delivery dashboard.
What we do not promise
Clear about where our role ends.
CSG does not grant security clearances, make suitability determinations or guarantee a government credential. Those decisions remain with the authorized agency, prime contractor, cleared employing organization or security office. Our role is to source and qualify candidates against the requirements the customer provides.
