Our Story
The Career Source Group story
Career Source Group is a US staffing and talent delivery firm built for companies that need to move faster than a four-to-six month hiring cycle allows. We place tech and non-tech talent across direct hire, contract, and contract-to-hire in the US, and we deliver dedicated nearshore talent from LATAM and offshore talent from Pakistan on a contract basis. We do it under one contract, one invoice, and one point of contact. And we charge 10% of annual salary for direct hire, not the 20-40% the rest of the market charges.
How we work
How we work
Career Source Group was founded by Zohaib Khawaja after more than a decade building and leading global talent acquisition teams across India, Pakistan, Germany, Romania, Canada, and the United States. That experience surfaced the same problem at nearly every company he worked with: hiring technical talent across multiple regions meant juggling separate vendors, separate contracts, and separate points of contact, even when the underlying need was the same specialist, just sourced from wherever it made sense.
CSG exists to remove that friction. Whether a role is filled through US direct hire, LATAM nearshore contract, or Pakistan offshore delivery, it runs through the same relationship: one contract, one invoice, one point of contact. The delivery region is a decision made around the work, not a separate business you have to manage on your own.
We place individual specialists and full delivery pods across the same technical practices: AI & ML, data, cloud & DevOps, software, product, and cybersecurity & GRC. And we do it without the industry's typical markup: our direct-hire fee is 10% of first-year salary, not the 20-40% most staffing firms charge.
Why CSG
Why Companies Work With Us
Five reasons companies work with us instead of managing multiple vendors across regions.
We're the only partner you don't have to lie to about geography.
A US-only staffing firm will always tell you the answer is US talent. An offshore shop will always tell you it's offshore. We sell all three regions, so our incentive is to put the work where it actually belongs. That's a structural advantage, not a marketing claim.
We charge 10% for direct hire. The market charges 20-40%.
Same vetting. Same guarantee. A third of the fee.
We score communication before we score anything else.
Most offshore engagements don't fail on technical skill. They fail because nobody designed for how the work would actually get discussed. We staff communication-critical seats differently than execution seats, on purpose.
One contract, one invoice, one point of contact.
Across three countries and six service lines. While the market consolidates from twelve vendors down to three, we're built to be one of the three.
Enterprise delivery history.
We're not a low-cost offshore reseller that learned staffing last year. See who we've delivered for below.
We're the only staffing firm that sells all three regions (US, LATAM, and Pakistan), so our incentive is to put the work where it actually belongs.
While other firms push their own region because that's all they sell, we have no reason to push one over another. Geography is decided after experience, communication skills, and technical skills are settled, not before.
Communication
We score communication before we score anything else.
Most offshore engagements don't fail on technical skill. They fail because nobody designed for how the work would actually get discussed. We staff communication-critical seats differently than execution seats, on purpose. Every pod is scored on communication first, then on technical skill against the client's actual stack.
