Questions, answered
How does temp staffing work?

Temp staffing means we supply the worker and carry the employment overhead. You describe the need, we place someone fast, we handle the wages, withholding, workers' comp and work-authorization checks, and you simply direct the job.

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.

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.

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

Missouri 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).
