Questions, answered
How fast can you fill a role?

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.

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

Temp and contract roles are short-term and agency-employed (ideal for seasonal peaks or projects); direct-hire is a permanent role you own from day one. We support both, plus temp-to-hire as the middle path.

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.

How do you vet candidates?

Every candidate goes through skills assessment, reference checks and I-9/E-Verify work-authorization verification, plus role-specific background checks, drug screening or license/credential verification where the position requires it. Licensed roles are checked against the primary-source issuer (state board, bar, etc.).

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

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).
