We place the full range of staffing roles throughout CA:
Replacing an old arena with a 16,000-seat venue and thousands of homes creates broad construction and event staffing hiring demand.
source ↗This 200-acre mixed-use redevelopment creating 4,000 homes and commercial space drives massive construction and retail staffing hiring.
source ↗Building new academic facilities and housing for San Diego State University drives significant construction and administrative staffing hiring.
source ↗You tell us the role, skills and start date; we draw from a vetted bench and place a worker on assignment. As the employer of record we handle payroll, taxes, workers' compensation and I-9/E-Verify, and you direct the work day-to-day. You can convert strong temps to permanent at any point.
Yes, and it's common. Start someone as a Scout Finders temp, see how they perform on real work, then move them onto your payroll when you're ready — a try-before-you-buy path to a permanent hire.
For workers we place on temp assignments, we hold the workers' comp policy and manage any claims — your business doesn't carry that coverage for them. (Every state requires workers' comp except Texas, where we carry it anyway.)
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).
