Our manufacturing and industrial placements span direct-hire, contract and temp:
In Seattle, reshoring and CHIPS-Act investment drive manufacturing and light-industrial hiring; that is what keeps manufacturing and industrial hiring competitive.
Yes — fit is on us. A temp who isn't right gets swapped fast at no extra charge, and a direct-hire who departs inside the guarantee period gets re-recruited at no additional fee.
Speed depends on the role: general and light-industrial assignments often fill same-day or next-day; specialized, licensed or permanent positions take longer because of credential checks and interviews.
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.
A staffing agency connects employers with workers across temp, contract, temp-to-hire and direct-hire. The key distinction is who employs the worker — for temporary placements that's the agency (it handles pay, taxes and workers' comp); for direct hires it's you.
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.
