From specialists to team leads, we cover the hospitality and retail roles Houston employers need:
Adding guest rooms, event space, and a new lounge and restaurant will drive hiring for hospitality retail staff.

Yes, and it's common. Start someone as a Scout Finders temp, see how they perform on real work, then move them onto your payroll when you're ready — a try-before-you-buy path to a permanent 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.
For temporary staff you pay a markup on the hourly wage that covers payroll, taxes and workers' comp. For permanent placements you pay nothing until someone is hired, then a single placement fee.
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).
