From temp & contract staff to specialized roles, we staff the positions Madison businesses actually need:
Opening with dozens of local merchants drives hiring for food service, retail, and logistics staff.
source ↗Major reimagination of the waterfront requires construction crews, engineers, and project management for broad hiring.
source ↗New $285 million athletic facility creates hiring demand for construction workers, architects, and future facility staff.
source ↗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's how staffing works legally — two employers, split duties. Scout Finders hires, pays, insures and verifies the worker; you manage their tasks on site. Using a careful, compliant agency keeps that shared liability low.
Yes — fit is on us. A temp who isn't right gets swapped fast at no extra charge, and a direct-hire who departs inside the guarantee period gets re-recruited at no additional fee.
Temp-to-hire makes this easy: the worker starts on our payroll, you evaluate them in the actual role, and you convert them to permanent on agreed terms whenever it makes sense.
