Questions, answered
Who is responsible for workers' compensation?

As the W-2 employer for temp staff, Scout Finders provides and pays for workers' compensation and handles claims. That's one of the core reasons businesses use a staffing agency instead of hiring temps directly.

Can temporary workers become permanent?

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.

What does a staffing agency cost?

Pricing follows the model: temp/contract is an all-in hourly bill rate (pay + taxes + insurance + service), and direct-hire is a one-time fee, usually a share of first-year salary, charged only when you actually hire the candidate.

What does a staffing agency do?

A staffing agency connects employers with workers across temp, contract, temp-to-hire and direct-hire. The key distinction is who employs the worker — for temporary placements that's the agency (it handles pay, taxes and workers' comp); for direct hires it's you.

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

Wisconsin 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).
