From temp & contract staff to specialized roles, we staff the positions Lakewood businesses actually need:
This $119M project adds 303 housing units and 25,000 sq ft retail, driving broad hiring for construction and service staff.
source ↗Under construction mixed-use community near Oak Street Light Rail will create residential, retail, and office jobs, boosting general staffing demand.
source ↗State-approved mixed-income project with 120 rentals and childcare will hire construction, care, and admin staff starting 2027.
source ↗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.
We stand behind every placement. Temp replacements are typically same-day and free; direct-hire roles carry a guarantee window during which we'll re-recruit if the hire doesn't stick.
For temporary staff you pay a markup on the hourly wage that covers payroll, taxes and workers' comp. For permanent placements you pay nothing until someone is hired, then a single placement fee.
It starts with your requirements — role, skills, start date. We assign a vetted worker, pay and insure them as the employer of record, and you manage their day-to-day work. No long-term commitment, and temp-to-hire conversion is always on the table.
Colorado 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).
