Questions, answered
What does a staffing agency do?

Think of a staffing agency as your outsourced recruiting and HR-admin arm: we find qualified people, run the screening, and for temp staff we put them on our payroll as the employer of record so you skip the paperwork and the liability.

Who is responsible for workers' compensation?

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.)

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.

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

Louisiana 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).
