Questions, answered
Can temporary workers become permanent?

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.

Who is responsible for workers' compensation?

Workers' compensation for temp and contract staff sits with us, the employer of record. We insure the worker and absorb claims handling, removing that exposure from your business.

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.

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

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). Washington 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.
