From specialists to team leads, we cover the manufacturing and industrial roles Columbus employers need:
5M sq ft facility producing drones and missiles will create over 4,000 direct manufacturing jobs.
source ↗2M sq ft EV battery plant nearing completion will power Honda EVs and hire thousands of battery workers.
source ↗Largest US chip fab project exceeding $20B investment will create 3,000 semiconductor manufacturing jobs by 2030.
source ↗We take your brief, match a pre-screened candidate and put them to work on your timeline. Scout Finders runs payroll, taxes and workers' comp as the W-2 employer; you supervise the assignment and can hire the worker permanently whenever you're ready.
Co-employment is the shared-employer arrangement behind temp staffing: we own the payroll, tax and compliance duties while you control the actual work. Both sides carry anti-discrimination obligations, so a compliant agency protects you.
As the W-2 employer for temp staff, Scout Finders provides and pays for workers' compensation and handles claims. That's one of the core reasons businesses use a staffing agency instead of hiring temps directly.
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). Ohio 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.
