Sales Staffing Agency — W-2, Workers'-Comp Covered

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.

For workers we place on temp assignments, we hold the workers' comp policy and manage any claims — your business doesn't carry that coverage for them. (Every state requires workers' comp except Texas, where we carry it anyway.)

The difference is who employs the worker. For temp/contract, that's us — we carry pay, taxes and workers' comp, and you flex headcount as needed. For direct-hire, that's you — we just deliver a vetted candidate for a one-time placement fee on hire.

Co-employment means the staffing agency and the client share employer responsibilities for a temp worker. Scout Finders handles hiring, payroll, taxes, workers' comp and I-9/E-Verify; you direct the day-to-day work. Both parties have obligations under federal anti-discrimination law, which is why working with a compliant agency matters.

For direct-hire and permanent placements, your business employs the candidate — no co-employment and no license claim; we lead with ASA membership and structured candidate vetting. Across the US, Scout Finders supplies temp and contract staff as the W-2 employer of record — payroll, taxes, workers' compensation and I-9/E-Verify — operating as a co-employer with your business under federal law (co-employment, ACA, EEOC). A few states (IL, NJ, MA) require staffing/temp registration, which we hold where we operate.
