Whatever the scope, we cover the core staffing roles across Berkeley:
23-story dorm with 1,625 beds requires construction crews, dining staff, and facility managers.
source ↗1,113-bed apartment complex needs construction workers, maintenance staff, and administrative personnel.
source ↗Proposed 2,000-bed project drives demand for architects, engineers, and construction labor.
source ↗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.
Temp staffing is billed as an hourly rate that includes wages, employer taxes and workers' comp, so there are no surprise costs. Direct-hire is a contingency placement fee owed only on a successful hire.
Both our temp and direct-hire placements are backed by a guarantee: we replace a temp who isn't working out quickly, and we re-fill a direct-hire that leaves within the guarantee window.
California 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).
