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

With temp and contract staffing, Scout Finders employs the worker (payroll, taxes, workers' comp) and assigns them to you — flexible and fast to scale. With direct-hire, we recruit and vet candidates but your business employs them permanently; there's no co-employment, and you pay a placement fee only when you hire.

How do you vet candidates?

Every candidate goes through skills assessment, reference checks and I-9/E-Verify work-authorization verification, plus role-specific background checks, drug screening or license/credential verification where the position requires it. Licensed roles are checked against the primary-source issuer (state board, bar, etc.).

Can temporary workers become permanent?

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.

How does temp staffing work?

It starts with your requirements — role, skills, start date. We assign a vetted worker, pay and insure them as the employer of record, and you manage their day-to-day work. No long-term commitment, and temp-to-hire conversion is always on the table.

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

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). California 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.
