Questions, answered
How do you vet candidates?

Vetting is layered: capability and skills testing first, then references and E-Verify work authorization, then any role-specific checks — background, drug screen, or primary-source license verification for regulated jobs.

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 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.

What is co-employment?

In a co-employment relationship the agency is the administrative employer (pay, benefits, compliance) and the client is the worksite employer (supervision, safety). Clear contracts allocate who's responsible for what.

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

Michigan 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).
