Employment Agencies — W-2, Workers'-Comp Covered

Both our temp and direct-hire placements are backed by a guarantee: we replace a temp who isn't working out quickly, and we re-fill a direct-hire that leaves within the guarantee window.

On temp and contract assignments Scout Finders is the employer of record and carries workers' compensation coverage for the assigned worker — so your business isn't exposed for that coverage. Workers' comp is state-mandated everywhere except Texas (where it's elective, though we carry it).

Temp-to-hire makes this easy: the worker starts on our payroll, you evaluate them in the actual role, and you convert them to permanent on agreed terms whenever it makes sense.

We take your brief, match a pre-screened candidate and put them to work on your timeline. Scout Finders runs payroll, taxes and workers' comp as the W-2 employer; you supervise the assignment and can hire the worker permanently whenever you're ready.

Across the US, Scout Finders supplies temp and contract staff as the W-2 employer of record — payroll, taxes, workers' compensation and I-9/E-Verify — operating as a co-employer with your business under federal law (co-employment, ACA, EEOC). A few states (IL, NJ, MA) require staffing/temp registration, which we hold where we operate. For direct-hire and permanent placements, your business employs the candidate — no co-employment and no license claim; we lead with ASA membership and structured candidate vetting.
