Both parties have obligations under federal anti-discrimination law, which is why working with a compliant agency matters.

A staffing agency sources, screens and places workers for businesses — as temporary, contract, temp-to-hire or direct-hire staff. For temp and contract roles the agency is the W-2 employer of record: it pays wages, withholds taxes and carries workers' compensation, while the worker performs at your site.
Kentucky 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).
