From temp & contract staff to specialized roles, we staff the positions Providence businesses actually need:
The new 120-suite hotel drives hiring for hospitality staff, including front desk, housekeeping, and food service workers.
source ↗Converting the vacant tower into 285 apartments and commercial space drives hiring for construction, property management, and retail staff.
source ↗This 160-unit residential project and mixed-use development requires construction crews, retail workers, and facility management staff.
source ↗With temp and contract staffing, Scout Finders employs the worker (payroll, taxes, workers' comp) and assigns them to you — flexible and fast to scale. With direct-hire, we recruit and vet candidates but your business employs them permanently; there's no co-employment, and you pay a placement fee only when you hire.
We screen for skills and fit, verify work authorization through E-Verify, run references and add background checks, drug screens or credential verification based on the role and your requirements.
Workers' compensation for temp and contract staff sits with us, the employer of record. We insure the worker and absorb claims handling, removing that exposure from your business.
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.
Rhode Island 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).
