Questions, answered
How do you vet candidates?

Each candidate is assessed for skills, reference-checked and run through I-9/E-Verify. For licensed or sensitive roles we add background checks and verify credentials directly with the issuing board or authority.

What does a staffing agency cost?

For temp and contract staffing you pay a bill rate that bundles the worker's pay plus a markup covering payroll taxes, workers' compensation, unemployment insurance and our service. For direct-hire, you pay a one-time placement fee (typically a percentage of first-year salary) only when you hire — no hire, no fee.

How does temp staffing work?

You tell us the role, skills and start date; we draw from a vetted bench and place a worker on assignment. As the employer of record we handle payroll, taxes, workers' compensation and I-9/E-Verify, and you direct the work day-to-day. You can convert strong temps to permanent at any point.

Who is responsible for workers' compensation?

Workers' compensation for temp and contract staff sits with us, the employer of record. We insure the worker and absorb claims handling, removing that exposure from your business.

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

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.
