Questions, answered
Who is responsible for workers' compensation?

As the W-2 employer for temp staff, Scout Finders provides and pays for workers' compensation and handles claims. That's one of the core reasons businesses use a staffing agency instead of hiring temps directly.

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.

What is co-employment?

Co-employment means the staffing agency and the client share employer responsibilities for a temp worker. Scout Finders handles hiring, payroll, taxes, workers' comp and I-9/E-Verify; you direct the day-to-day work. Both parties have obligations under federal anti-discrimination law, which is why working with a compliant agency matters.

Can temporary workers become permanent?

Absolutely. Many clients use temp-to-hire to assess performance and fit before extending a permanent offer; conversion terms are agreed up front.

Do you need a license to run a staffing agency in New York?

In New York, 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).
