Staffing Agency Lancaster — Workers Ready Fast

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
