Questions, answered
What does a staffing agency do?

A staffing agency sources, screens and places workers for businesses — as temporary, contract, temp-to-hire or direct-hire staff. For temp and contract roles the agency is the W-2 employer of record: it pays wages, withholds taxes and carries workers' compensation, while the worker performs at your site.

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.

How do you vet candidates?

Each candidate is assessed for skills, reference-checked and run through I-9/E-Verify. For licensed or sensitive roles we add background checks and verify credentials directly with the issuing board or authority.

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

The difference is who employs the worker. For temp/contract, that's us — we carry pay, taxes and workers' comp, and you flex headcount as needed. For direct-hire, that's you — we just deliver a vetted candidate for a one-time placement fee on hire.

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).
