Questions, answered
What is the difference between temp staffing and direct-hire?

Temp staffing = Scout Finders is the employer of record and you get flexible, on-demand workers. Direct-hire = we find and screen the candidate, you put them on your own payroll permanently. Many clients start temp-to-hire to try before they commit.

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 is co-employment?

Co-employment is the shared-employer arrangement behind temp staffing: we own the payroll, tax and compliance duties while you control the actual work. Both sides carry anti-discrimination obligations, so a compliant agency protects you.

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

In Pennsylvania, employment-agency licensing applies to fee-charging placement; Scout Finders supplies temp and contract staff as the W-2 employer of record (co-employment, we carry workers' compensation, I-9/E-Verify). Fee-placement license on file where required (registration number provided on engagement). 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).
