Questions, answered
Can temporary workers become permanent?

Yes — temp-to-hire is one of the most popular options. You bring a worker on as a temp through Scout Finders, evaluate them on the job, and convert them to your permanent payroll whenever you're confident. It's a low-risk way to try before you hire.

What is the difference between temp staffing and direct-hire?

Temp and contract roles are short-term and agency-employed (ideal for seasonal peaks or projects); direct-hire is a permanent role you own from day one. We support both, plus temp-to-hire as the middle path.

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.

How does temp staffing work?

We take your brief, match a pre-screened candidate and put them to work on your timeline. Scout Finders runs payroll, taxes and workers' comp as the W-2 employer; you supervise the assignment and can hire the worker permanently whenever you're ready.

Do you need a license to run a staffing agency in South Carolina?

South Carolina 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).
