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.
Common roles move fast — often within a day or two from our pre-screened bench. Niche or credentialed positions (licensed clinicians, engineers, executives) run a few days to a couple of weeks while we verify and interview.
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.
