Questions, answered
How does temp staffing work?

Temp staffing means we supply the worker and carry the employment overhead. You describe the need, we place someone fast, we handle the wages, withholding, workers' comp and work-authorization checks, and you simply direct the job.

What is co-employment?

In a co-employment relationship the agency is the administrative employer (pay, benefits, compliance) and the client is the worksite employer (supervision, safety). Clear contracts allocate who's responsible for what.

What does a staffing agency cost?

Pricing follows the model: temp/contract is an all-in hourly bill rate (pay + taxes + insurance + service), and direct-hire is a one-time fee, usually a share of first-year salary, charged only when you actually hire the candidate.

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.

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.
