Staffing Agency Modesto — Staffed in 24 Hours

On temp and contract assignments Scout Finders is the employer of record and carries workers' compensation coverage for the assigned worker — so your business isn't exposed for that coverage. Workers' comp is state-mandated everywhere except Texas (where it's elective, though we carry it).

Vetting is layered: capability and skills testing first, then references and E-Verify work authorization, then any role-specific checks — background, drug screen, or primary-source license verification for regulated jobs.

You tell us the role, skills and start date; we draw from a vetted bench and place a worker on assignment. As the employer of record we handle payroll, taxes, workers' compensation and I-9/E-Verify, and you direct the work day-to-day. You can convert strong temps to permanent at any point.

Co-employment means the staffing agency and the client share employer responsibilities for a temp worker. Scout Finders handles hiring, payroll, taxes, workers' comp and I-9/E-Verify; you direct the day-to-day work. Both parties have obligations under federal anti-discrimination law, which is why working with a compliant agency matters.

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).
