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

Temp staffing = Scout Finders is the employer of record and you get flexible, on-demand workers. Direct-hire = we find and screen the candidate, you put them on your own payroll permanently. Many clients start temp-to-hire to try before they commit.

What is co-employment?

Co-employment is the shared-employer arrangement behind temp staffing: we own the payroll, tax and compliance duties while you control the actual work. Both sides carry anti-discrimination obligations, so a compliant agency protects you.

What does a staffing agency cost?

Temp staffing is billed as an hourly rate that includes wages, employer taxes and workers' comp, so there are no surprise costs. Direct-hire is a contingency placement fee owed only on a successful hire.

How do you vet candidates?

Every candidate goes through skills assessment, reference checks and I-9/E-Verify work-authorization verification, plus role-specific background checks, drug screening or license/credential verification where the position requires it. Licensed roles are checked against the primary-source issuer (state board, bar, etc.).

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

California 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).
