Questions, answered
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.

How fast can you fill a role?

Most volume and light-industrial requests are filled inside 48 hours. The more specialized or regulated the role, the more screening it needs, so plan on several days to two weeks for those.

How do you vet candidates?

We screen for skills and fit, verify work authorization through E-Verify, run references and add background checks, drug screens or credential verification based on the role and your requirements.

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

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). For temp and contract staff in Illinois, Scout Finders is the W-2 employer of record, registered under Illinois's Day & Temporary Labor Services Act registration (registration number provided on engagement); we carry workers' compensation, run I-9/E-Verify, and act as a co-employer with your business under federal law.
