Whatever the scope, we cover the core staffing roles across Columbus:
Massive infrastructure work and early hiring for a billion-dollar chip factory creating thousands of skilled and general jobs.
source ↗Final interior phases of a 1.9M sq ft hospital opening in 2026, driving broad hiring for nurses, techs, and support staff.
source ↗$8 billion transit expansion breaking ground in 2026, creating thousands of construction and operational jobs across Central Ohio.
source ↗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).
Yes — fit is on us. A temp who isn't right gets swapped fast at no extra charge, and a direct-hire who departs inside the guarantee period gets re-recruited at no additional fee.
The difference is who employs the worker. For temp/contract, that's us — we carry pay, taxes and workers' comp, and you flex headcount as needed. For direct-hire, that's you — we just deliver a vetted candidate for a one-time placement fee on hire.
Ohio 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).
