Questions, answered
What is the difference between temp staffing and direct-hire?

Temp staffing = Scout Finders is the employer of record and you get flexible, on-demand workers. Direct-hire = we find and screen the candidate, you put them on your own payroll permanently. Many clients start temp-to-hire to try before they commit.

How does temp staffing work?

You tell us the role, skills and start date; we draw from a vetted bench and place a worker on assignment. As the employer of record we handle payroll, taxes, workers' compensation and I-9/E-Verify, and you direct the work day-to-day. You can convert strong temps to permanent at any point.

What does a staffing agency do?

A staffing agency sources, screens and places workers for businesses — as temporary, contract, temp-to-hire or direct-hire staff. For temp and contract roles the agency is the W-2 employer of record: it pays wages, withholds taxes and carries workers' compensation, while the worker performs at your site.

What is co-employment?

Co-employment means the staffing agency and the client share employer responsibilities for a temp worker. Scout Finders handles hiring, payroll, taxes, workers' comp and I-9/E-Verify; you direct the day-to-day work. Both parties have obligations under federal anti-discrimination law, which is why working with a compliant agency matters.

Do you need a license to run a staffing agency in Texas?

For direct-hire and permanent placements, Scout Finders recruits and vets only — your business employs the candidate, so there is no co-employment and no license claim. We lead with ASA membership and structured candidate vetting (skills, references, work authorization). Texas has no staffing-agency licensing scheme. As the W-2 employer of record for temp and contract staff, Scout Finders operates under federal labor law (co-employment, ACA, EEOC, I-9/E-Verify); we carry workers' compensation (elective in Texas, but Scout Finders carries it).
