Questions, answered
How do you vet candidates?

Every candidate goes through skills assessment, reference checks and I-9/E-Verify work-authorization verification, plus role-specific background checks, drug screening or license/credential verification where the position requires it. Licensed roles are checked against the primary-source issuer (state board, bar, etc.).

Do you offer a replacement guarantee?

Yes. If a temp worker isn't the right fit we'll replace them fast, usually within a day, at no extra cost. Direct-hire placements come with a replacement guarantee period — if the hire doesn't work out within the window, we re-recruit the role.

Who is responsible for workers' compensation?

On temp and contract assignments Scout Finders is the employer of record and carries workers' compensation coverage for the assigned worker — so your business isn't exposed for that coverage. Workers' comp is state-mandated everywhere except Texas (where it's elective, though we carry it).

How fast can you fill a role?

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.

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

Georgia 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. 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).
