Staff Source agrees not to harass, discriminate against, or retaliate against any employee of the other because of his or her race, national origin, age, sex, religion, disability, marital status, or other category protected by law; nor shall either party cause or request the other party to engage in such discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. In the event of any complaint of unlawful discrimination, harassment, or retaliation by any Employee, Staff Source agrees to cooperate in the prompt investigation and resolution of such complaint.
I understand that I am applying for temporary work and will be paid only for the number of hours actually worked. I understand that if my assignment should lead to a full-time permanent position, my employer will be obligated to pay an additional fee to Staff Source, which is to be determined at the time of hiring. If my prospective employer refuses to pay the necessary fee, I agree not to accept a permanent position with the employer. If I do not accept employment or if I accept employment with another temporary service at any company referred to me by Staff Source, I agree to personally guarantee to Staff Source payment of the amount due for its fees and all costs and expenses including attorney’s fee arising out of my employer’s refusal to pay the necessary fee.
I understand that Staff Source works with several companies that have very strict “NO DRUG POLICIES”. In order to qualify as an applicant to work at these companies, I understand that I must successfully pass a drug test. I further understand that Staff Source can give me a random drug test at any time. I realize that if I fail the drug test, I will immediately be terminated and be required to reimburse Staff Source for the cost of the test.

Staff Source / Contract Services Group won the BKD Indiana Excellence Award in the Service Category for their innovative site AvailableCandidateList.com. The site markets some of their top candidates to their clients.
More than 1,000 unemployed Northwest Indiana residents landed jobs last year because of the guidance provided by Staff Source Inc. in Hammond. Whether blue-collar, white-collar, skilled or unskilled–the needs are the same from industries across the region: bring us workers.
But for all the work Mirko Marich and Milan Kesic have put into finding work for others in the last nine years, they’re also expanding their business ventures to include managed services, such as assembly and parts work through Contract Services Group.
“They play a vital role in assisting with the economy of Northwest Indiana,” says Brian Rusin of People’s Bank, who nominated Staff Source. “Through some of those jobs they help create, filling short-term needs for companies, a lot of companies are obtaining great benefits because of the service they are able to provide.”
Dan Kesic, 30, never expected to be where he is – partnered in a staffing company managing their Customer Relationsand Marketing departments.
It was Kesic’s strong work ethic and willingness to adapt that have paid off and put him in the top sales position as vice president and regional director for Staff Source, of which he is part owner. The Hammond-based staffing company provides more than 600 employees daily to over 100 businesses that range from light and heavy industrial to clerical and professional.
When Kesic graduated from Indiana University in 1997 his dreams revolved around criminal justice and a job with the United States Drug enforcement Agency (DEA). An opportunity to work for the U.S. Department of Defense in Bosnia took him there for a year where he provided translating and cultural consulting services.
“It was cool. I made good money. That’s where I grew up,” he says.
When his brother Milan Kesic and friend Mirko Marich asked him if he wanted to invest in a staffing venture, Kesic came on board, but saw himself only as an investor.
“I had my heart set on the DEA,” he says, “but when I recognized the magnitude of the opportunity that was presented to me, I eagerly switched gears.”
“I was totally clueless of this industry,”Kesic says, adding Marich, who worked in staffing, taught him and his brother the ins and outs of the business.
Starting in a small office in East Chicago, in 1998, the trio spent $80,000 to remodel the office and secured a $200,000 line of credit that would be used to front payroll expenses for the staffing business.

“At first, there was no salary. We couldn’t even pull a check for ourselves,” Kesic says. “We took a risk to quit the comfort of our lives to start something new. It’s the way I was raised. My dad came here from Europe with a suitcase. He has able to put us through college and live a good, middle class life. He always taught us to work hard. That’s where we got our drive.”
That drive is the force behind Staff Source’s climb to over $12 million in business in five years – an amount that has been increasing every year.
It was a demanding time as Kesic secured the Wrigley Field account for staff concession workers. That meant setting up a satellite office in Chicago and busing employees to the site.
Staff Source has brought on a new staff, Kesic says, and now employs seven people in addition to him, his brother and Marich. Kesic handles sales and customer service, while his brother manages the office and fills job orders. Marich heads up a Joint Venture called Contract Services Group, which is hired to perform complete components of work; providing facilities, tooling, processes, manpower, and management.
Buying the real estate and building at Staff Source’s current location at 2500 E. 165th St., Hammond, valued at $1.4 million, was a major step for the company.
“We’ve put a lot into this site. Our business runs like a well oiled machine, we wanted a facility which reflected that,” Kesic says.
