We place the full range of staffing roles throughout CA:
$1.6 billion modernization project requires massive hiring for construction, engineering, and future clinical staff.
source ↗$400 million cancer center development creates hiring demand for construction, medical, and research professionals.
source ↗Opening 2,000 students and 500 faculty daily, driving broad hiring for healthcare, admin, and campus support roles.
source ↗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.
Most volume and light-industrial requests are filled inside 48 hours. The more specialized or regulated the role, the more screening it needs, so plan on several days to two weeks for those.
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.
Staffing agencies recruit, vet and place candidates so you can scale your workforce up or down fast. On temp and contract assignments the agency employs the worker — payroll, taxes, workers' comp — while on direct-hire roles you employ them and the agency simply finds and screens the talent.
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).
