Questions, answered
How does temp staffing work?

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.

Who is responsible for workers' compensation?

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).

Do you offer a replacement guarantee?

Both our temp and direct-hire placements are backed by a guarantee: we replace a temp who isn't working out quickly, and we re-fill a direct-hire that leaves within the guarantee window.

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

Louisiana 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).
