It's how staffing works legally — two employers, split duties. Scout Finders hires, pays, insures and verifies the worker; you manage their tasks on site. Using a careful, compliant agency keeps that shared liability low.
Pricing follows the model: temp/contract is an all-in hourly bill rate (pay + taxes + insurance + service), and direct-hire is a one-time fee, usually a share of first-year salary, charged only when you actually hire the candidate.
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.
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). Florida 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.
