Questions, answered
What does a staffing agency cost?

For temp and contract staffing you pay a bill rate that bundles the worker's pay plus a markup covering payroll taxes, workers' compensation, unemployment insurance and our service. For direct-hire, you pay a one-time placement fee (typically a percentage of first-year salary) only when you hire — no hire, no fee.

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.

How do you vet candidates?

Vetting is layered: capability and skills testing first, then references and E-Verify work authorization, then any role-specific checks — background, drug screen, or primary-source license verification for regulated jobs.

What does a staffing agency do?

Staffing agencies recruit, vet and place candidates so you can scale your workforce up or down fast. On temp and contract assignments the agency employs the worker — payroll, taxes, workers' comp — while on direct-hire roles you employ them and the agency simply finds and screens the talent.

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).
