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?

With temp and contract staffing, Scout Finders employs the worker (payroll, taxes, workers' comp) and assigns them to you — flexible and fast to scale. With direct-hire, we recruit and vet candidates but your business employs them permanently; there's no co-employment, and you pay a placement fee only when you hire.

How do you vet candidates?

We screen for skills and fit, verify work authorization through E-Verify, run references and add background checks, drug screens or credential verification based on the role and your requirements.

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).
